GoT Roblox - Episode 1
ERIC - BLOXY HILLS
The sun broke over the capitol city of Bloxy Hills on the morning of King Dev's 50th nameday. The commoners of the city worked dutifully decorating the city in blue ribbons, and the children began to dress up in costumes that resembled lions. Of course, the children and many of the younger men and women took for granted this momentous occassion. They were too young to remember the past of neverending war, before Dev took the throne and kept the squabbling houses in check. How he did it, no one outside of the nobility knew. But they were joyous nonetheless.
The piercing sunlight bore through the window of the royal quarters and awoke the king from a shortlived slumber. Usually dawn was the time that the king preferred to go to sleep, but knowing his nameday celebration would be today, he attempted to get as much rest as he could. As he aged, the relative earliness of it became one of the reasons he loathed it, but he still enjoyed the attention he garnered. Still, he could not help but consider scrapping the tradition each year his nameday came around.

It is my honor to serve you in his place, Your Highness. I was actually in a state of shock when I was assigned to be your knew handmaiden. I am quite new to the castle and the capitol itself. I just arrived here last month from Boyce. It is a city far on the eastern coast-"
"Enough," Dev said pointedly, waving a quieting hand. "First of all, I don't need your entire life story. I'm only going to forget it right after you quit in a fortnight."
Veronica's smile faded. He had not realized it, but he was standing on his toes, and so the soles of his feet descended to the floor along with his excitement for his new role as handmaiden to the king.
"Second of all," Dev continued, "I don't know whether you're a eunuch or a zealot--or even worse, both--but I know Veronica isn't your real name."
"With all due respect, Your Highness," the handmaiden responded guardedly, "but Veronica is the name our god gave me."
"Our god?" Dev parried. "Your..
