Reluctantly Royal

In the dazzling yet treacherous halls of Azula’s royal palace, Prince Ardyn faces an impossible decision—choosing a bride from among the kingdom’s most elite women. This is no mere love story; it is a battle of power, passion, and deception, where only the most cunning and captivating will survive. Among the contenders stands Elira, a woman of quiet strength, caught in a whirlwind of ambition and seduction. She never sought the throne, yet fate thrust her into a ruthless contest where hearts are both won and broken. Her fiercest rivals, the seductive and strategic Lady Kaelith and the enigmatic yet dangerously alluring Seraphine, will stop at nothing to claim the prince—and the crown—for themselves. As the competition escalates, secrets unravel, betrayals cut deep, and the lines between love and manipulation blur. Steamy encounters, forbidden desires, and high-stakes challenges push Prince Ardyn to his limits. But beneath the spectacle, he craves something real—something only one woman possesses. With the odds stacked against her, Elira must fight not just for love, but for survival. In a kingdom where deceit reigns and passion ignites like fire, will she prove that true love is stronger than any scheme? Or will the throne fall to the most ruthless player of all? The Royal Choice: Love and Deceit is a tale of desire, deception, and destiny, where one woman dares to defy expectations and claim her rightful place—not by force, but by the power of an unbreakable heart.

“Unlucky” would be the nice way to describe Lucas’ luck. He wasn’t just down bad. He was practically cursed. As someone who never asked to exist, he’s had to experience medical torture, imprisonment, and eventually death. And that was just his first life. Then, just as he thought of escaping his fate, he transmigrates into the body of the Empire’s most useless Flower Vase. Great, now he should have status, wealth, and beauty, right? Wrong. Because his new body, Young Lord Luca Kyros, was a vegetable. And what’s worse was that no one else seemed to know the truth. To everyone else, he was just your typical rebellious heir. He wouldn’t have minded that. He was used to being called a harlot or similar names for being a defective Guide. But the problem was he woke up right smack in the middle of the Royal Military Academy’s Assessment test. And his double body, the one who should be attending school, perished in an ambush. So now, he’s forced to resolve his existential crisis while attending a school he never even enrolled in. He’ll have to conquer his flimsy body, his brooding roommate, and his picky-eater “dungeon”—all that on top of surviving impending doom. Someone definitely needs a miracle.

I swallowed down nothing. Nothing in the entire world would have been enough to prepare me for the next words that came out of his mouth. “Be my wife.” I coughed and pushed him away standing up from the sofa immediately. The surprise look on his face was evident despite the mask he had on. “Why? Am I not good a candidate for you?” He asked not in anyway angry from my push. He stood up and again before I could register what he's about doing, his right hand were wrapped around my waist, his left hand around my neck. “I'm neither asking nor requesting you to do it Serena, I'm ordering you to be my wife." ... Disowned and banished, Serena walks away from the one place she has come to cherish and love. Exposed to the outside world, she's faced with a demanding decision that would determine her life. What happens when she starts to unravel the dark secret surrounding her birth. Would she still be the meek young hybrid or would she trample on her assailants?

Being messy was kind of my thing. It was what I was known for. Not that I try to but drama follows me. I am drama. You might think I love it but I don't. As the crown princess of the country, I've always been in the spotlight my whole life. Everyone knows everything about me. Soraya Marwood, the third. I didn't even own the name. It's a pretty name,I know but that just drives home the point I'm trying to make right now. That I deserve to be my own person. I made that decision the wrong way and the wrong time. I freaking did it the wrong way. I kissed Willem Gale Sullivan. You might think it's not bad. It wouldn't have if he wasn't the Crown prince of Darkey. I kissed the crown prince of Darkey who had a fiancéé. Kill me now.

Being a royal was demanding and yet being the Royal future king was far more demanding than his people imagined.

I claimed her mouth pushing her against the wall. Arms tightened around my back as I deepened the kiss. I placed a hand on her bare waist and a blast of heat consumed me. she moaned deep in her throat as I brought her hips closer to mine. You're mine Reina, only mine. I drawled against her neck.

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother. She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though. But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got "sick." Because of that, she has to pretend as the "Crown Prince," forcing her father to treat her well. She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure. But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire. Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in! *** [EXCERPT 1] “Neoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero’s proxy.” [The hell is this psycho saying?] Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. “Father, what do you mean by that?” “From now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,” the emperor explained. “Until he’s strong enough to protect himself, you’ll pose as your twin brother.” Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. “But Father. If I take my brother’s position, then wouldn’t the assassins mistake me for him and…” She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do. [This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!] “You’re no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,” Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. “Try to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?” Neoma was too shocked to react. [Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!] *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork by sola_cola.] *** [EXCERPT 2] “I’m so sick of your tyrannical a*s,” Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. “I won’t forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!” “What will you do about it then?” Nikolai asked with a smirk. “Kill me?” “Yes! I’ll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!” “Language,” he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. “Using vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.” “I’m a princess!” Upon yelling those words, the royal princess’s eye color changed from ash-gray to red. [This is getting serious.] “Stop it, Nero,” Nikolai told her sternly. “If you keep that up, the royal knights will come and–” “I’m not Nero!” Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. “In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!” [What…?] And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.
