The Unwilling Consort of the Twin Kings

Aeger—a vassal kingdom both rich and ruined. A land of warriors and excess, ruled by twin kings who revel in debauchery yet remain unmatched in power. The empire seeks control, and the diarchs' elder sister, the Crown Princess, plays her own game—using Aeger to strengthen her hold on the court while trying to tame the brothers who threaten it. Marina Velkas, an Imperial Guard and reluctant governor, is sent to bring order. Instead, she is met with mockery in court, resistance in governance, and two kings who refuse to yield. Ruyi, sharp-tongued and reckless, enjoys breaking her defenses. Ruyel, cold and calculating, waits for her to surrender. But Marina does not break. She bends Aeger to her will, yet the kings remain watching, waiting. The court sees her as a passing intrigue, but whispers grow—of a bond that cannot be undone, of a governor who stands at the edge of something far greater. With the empire closing in and the kings tightening their claim, Marina must decide—continue fighting for a kingdom that will never be hers, or rise as its reluctant queen. [Formerly Sovereign of the Beasts. The first volume is seductive feline courtship and rather wholesome, but the first chapter is a throw forward to what would happen later.] ________________________________________ Excerpt: The Courtroom Duel Ruyi: “Denied.” Marina: “Of course it is.” Ruyel: “Try again with something less useless.” Marina: “Oh, I didn’t realize starving citizens were a matter of inconvenience to Your Majesties.” Ruyi: “They’re not starving. They’re simply unmotivated.” Marina: “Perhaps if you put more coin into infrastructure instead of your endless banquets, motivation wouldn’t be an issue.” Ruyel: “Careful, Governor. That sounds dangerously close to insubordination.” Marina: “And what will you do? Execute me for stating facts?” Ruyi: “Tempting, but then it would be too much paperwork?” Ruyel: “Answering another one of elder sister's calls isn't on my agenda.” Marina: “I just want a fair negotiation.” Ruyi: “It was, until you became insufferable.” Marina: “How terrible for you. A woman you can’t silence.” Ruyel: “Not yet.” (Laughter ripples through the court.) The Tiger’s Sparring Ground Marina: “Stop touching me like that.” Ruyel: “I’m correcting your stance.” Marina: “Find another student.” Ruyel: “I can’t.” Marina: “Why?” Ruyel: “Because no one else is worth my time.” Marina: “Then suffer alone.” Ruyel: “Oh, but I enjoy watching you suffer with me.” Marina: “You’re insufferable.” Ruyel: “And yet, your legs tremble every time I step too close.” Marina: “That’s from exhaustion.” Ruyel: “Liar.” Marina: “Get off me.” Ruyel: “No.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyel: “I know.” (Silence. Still trapped in his arms.) The Lion’s Den Marina: “Stop distracting me.” Ruyi: “But you’re so cute when you’re angry.” Marina: “You humiliated me today.” Ruyi: “And now I’m making up for it.” Marina: “By crawling into my bed?” Ruyi: “By holding the most important person in Aeger.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyi: “I know. Now, let me warm you up.” Marina: “You rejected my proposal.” Ruyi: “And I will approve it first thing in the morning.” Marina: “You—what?” Ruyi: “The only reason Aeger has more welfare programs than the empire now is because of how cute you are when you argue.” Marina: “That is not how governance works.” Ruyi: “That is exactly how governance works.” Marina: “You—” Ruyi: “Shh. Sleep, Marina.” (Tomorrow, the court will call her Governor. But tonight, she holds the true power.)

ONEDAY I WOKE UP AND HAD A FIANCE

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante, and the shocking news of an impending fiancé. The man who approached her, raven-haired and smiling with an unsettling charm, was none other than her once-rival from the court. A man she had both loved and loathed in equal measure. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—her eternal adversary—now her betrothed? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she trust the man who once stood as her greatest enemy? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Pablo Castillo was the worst, the evilest, the biggest criminal in the whole world. He was the ominous figure known as Criminal X. It’s a name that sends shivers down the spines of those who utter it. His past, a mysterious enigma, shrouded in darkness, only adds to the legend of the world’s most notorious criminal. However, Pablo’s reign of heinous crimes comes to an abrupt end when a specially trained military force, an elite group made especially to capture Pablo, finally apprehended him. The capture of Criminal X sent shockwaves around nations, for this man had defied all laws and moral boundaries. The world watched as he was brought to the highest court to face the consequences of a lifetime of malevolence. The International Court of Justice, in a bid to administer justice that matches the magnitude of his crimes, bestowed upon him the most excruciating execution ever conceived. The world erupted in celebration as news of his demise spread like wildfire. An international holiday was declared, a day of liberation from the tyranny of Pablo Castillo. The day was named with triumphant fervor. They all called it—World Independence Day. Pablo Castillo was a man so evil that even the kindest of Gods couldn’t find pity for him. But… Some Gods needed that man. That too, Desperately. ——— ——— ——— Gib Money - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5
