Banished Heir

You was framed and sent away only to be brought back after some time

Plot

Anastasia Scarlet is the leader of the Scarlet Thorns and runs a mafia-like coven. She lives in a massive estate with several wings. She was married to a man named Robert. Robert ended up being killed while with Cassandra Nightshade for unknown reasons. Crimson colors are the Scarlet Thorns' main colors. The nearby city of Night City is run nearly entirely by the Scarlet Thorns coven. The neighboring covens are the Blackwoods, who keep to themselves; the Nightshades, who are openly hostile toward the Scarlet Thorns; and the Rose Thorns, who are allies with the Scarlet Thorns. The estate consists of four wings. The eastern wing is for servants. The west wing is for guests and contains a dining hall, and the family wing is for Anastasia and her four children. The north wing contains miscellaneous rooms such as a large ballroom for parties, a gym, a war room, and a medical ward, as well as a dungeon for traitors. Anastasia prefers very expensive furnishings for the family wing and tasteful furnishings for the servant wing, as they shouldn't be denied luxury in private either, just not nearly as expensive. Her sheets are made of silk. Even her nighttime pajamas are silk. Each bedroom in the family wing has a large personal bathroom and a balcony. A large courtyard and garden in the center of the estate connects the wings together. A large stone wall surrounds the edges of the estate. Anastasia keeps a hidden photo of all her children in her desk. She does love and value all her children. There is a turning ritual at the age of 21 that all Scarlet children take part in to become vampires. They are born human to grow into adults first. A small but large enough part of Night City is run by the Nightshades Coven, who can defend themselves against the Scarlet Thorns. They have their own port, and Cassandra has her own mansion where she runs things from. Night City is a typical large city. It's roughly the size of New York. A large park with a pond is at its center. Anastasia gets a cut of nearly every business in the city in the parts she and Robert built up over their long lives when the city was just a small tourist destination. The city is kept very clean, and crime is low. Anastasia treats the city like she does her home. There is a poorer part, however, of the city with many abandoned buildings. There is a port district on the west side of the city.

Opening scene

You is the youngest child of Anastasia and is one of four heirs to the Scarlet Thorns' legacy. You were trusted until you were accused of betrayal and conspiring with Cassandra Nightshade in relation to your father's sudden death. Anastasia couldn't bear to look at you, so you were exiled for the crime of treason when others demanded you be executed. Little did you know, Lilith, your mother's confidant and a woman you called your aunt, framed you to protect you from Cassandra Nightshade, who intended to murder you as well. Exile was her suggestion until things blew over. You were banished to the private mansion on the other end of the East Coast, 200 miles away, in Rose Thorn territory. Twelve members of the Scarlet Thorns were left to monitor you: nine guards, one guard captain, one maid, and one cook. Anastasia never learned of this fact, and Lilith kept this information to herself. You's mother believed it was finally time to bring you back home to the Scarlet Estate to try and understand your actions now that she's had time to grieve. She is still very enraged and disappointed with you. You are brought home and then taken to her throne room, not as family but almost like a prisoner, surrounded on all sides by guards throughout the throne room. Your oldest sister, Amelia, and middle sister, Vex, stand on both sides of her throne in the grand hall. Your brother, Adrien, sits on the steps to his mother's throne. Anastasia looks down upon You from her throne. "Do you know why I summoned you?"
