Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321: The Night Court

Aldric let out a long breath, relieved that he was able to tell her the history of his kind while Islinda was befuddled, stunned by the information. However, it was still incomplete and she was quick to question, "Is that all?"

"Of course not, princess. We are just getting started. So far we’ve established that the Unseelie Faerie are referred to as the evil or dark Fae while the Seelie Faerie are goodness personified or the good ones as told in human stories. The four courts are the summer court, winter court, spring court, and autumn court. However, that’s not all. " He revealed to her with anticipation, heightening the climax of the story.

Islinda looked at him in surprise,

"There’s more?"

"Indeed, there are more. To be precise, they are minor courts that are hardly recognized. The Unseelie is made up of the Winter Court, Autumn Court, Night Court, dawn, day, and dusk court while the righteous Faerie, the Seelie is made up of the Summer and spring court. One thing to notice among the minor courts is that they were closely related with similar features and cultures, but their abilities differed. But everything that went wrong started with the Night court.

"The Night court and the dusk court Faerie were the most similar. However, the dusk court was primarily active during transitional periods of dawn and dusk. While the Night Court is active during the night, embracing the darkness and shadows. The night court Faeries govern the night and all that happens during that time. Their leader is the High Lord of the Night Court, a powerful faerie ruler who oversees all of their activities.

"The Faeries from the minor courts were not exactly as powerful as their counterparts from the bigger courts. The Night court was associated with the moon and darkness. Their powers and magic are often related to the power of the night. Night Court Faeries were Dreamweavers, influencing dreams, secrets, and the hidden aspects of the fae world. Unfortunately, the role was not enough for them.

"Their High Lord wanted to be stronger, he desired his court to get much recognition as the bigger Faerie Courts. So he sought ways to make that possible, even if it required going the wrong way. He didn’t care, all he wanted was power. Immense power. So he went down the dark side by going to the demons. Unfortunately, demons were bigger tricksters than the Fae.

"All in all, the minor Night Court suddenly became powerful and this change did not go unnoticed by the other courts who then perceived them as threats. Their power was unnatural and destructive. It went against the law of nature and created an imbalance especially if other courts followed their paths.

"They were told to give up the power, but the thing about Supreme power was that it was addictive. Rather than give it up, they craved more. Not to mention that it was in a Fae’s blood to want to be powerful. It was in their nature to rule and they couldn’t change their nature. The Night Court faeries gifted with the power had been at the bottom of the hierarchy and couldn’t give up, nor did they recognize the evil chipping away at their souls.

"The war began and it raged on for centuries. While the other courts mostly fought against them in order to maintain balance in the realm, it turned out that there was another reason to do so. The power inside of the Night Court Faeries drove them mad, till all they were capable of was chaos. There was no longer the concept of good and bad, all they desired was to win and dominate. Thus, they become the necessary evil that needs to be purged away. "
