His birth should have been a bridge between the common roots of his father and the noble lineage of his mother. Instead, it became a source of shame and conflict that would define his tragic youth. Lance was born under a lunar eclipse, an event never recorded, and as such, never before seeing by the people of Velmy, being labeled as "The Child of the damned" Lance was disdained by the court for bringing shame and being a stain in the purity of the Royal Blood. His mother driven by supersticion, refused to hold him as an infant, ignoring him the entirety of his childhood. His father focus was on maintaning he new found noble title, subjected him to relentless physical and mental trial, a practice that the people believed would awaken the "Guardian" status, yet Lance could not awaken, being deemed as too soft and weak by his father. Considering this they chose to focus their care on Lance's younger brothers and sisters. Being 10 years old, in one of the trial commanded by his father, the young Lance was attacked by a wild boar, as he hesitated to do face the beast he was saved by his father's men but not without a cost. Though his inaction was caused by fear and inexperience, his father just saw a coward.

Along with Liria they accused Lance of stealing a Royal relic that had been giving to Liria the day of her wedding, labeling as a traitor. His father didnt opose the idea, Lance was after all his heir, and an unworthy at that, so he decided to cast him out, so to make Lance's younger brother the heir of the Demetrian house.

The Villainess is my crybaby! (GL)

Once upon a time. There was a girl. A girl engaged to the prince. Her bright smile could always light up the room, her loud laugh was infectious and- that girl was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. For some reason she has always disliked me. And I know why. "Don't come near the crown prince, I'll pay you a handsome amount to be away from him." This girl hands me a pouch full of gold. "If you know what's best for you, you'll take the money." She gives me that famous cold glare. The meanest girl in school was driving me off from her 'beloved' fiance. I tried my best not to laugh at loud. Sure, I could use the money but I don't even want the crown prince so I considered this a double win. Money and staying away from a love interest? "Milady, I thank you for generous offer." I take the gold from her hands and left. I couldn't care much if I ruined the story, my plans were simple. Only observe, stay away from any love interests and live my life peacefully till my golden years. ... That all changed... on one fateful day. I was cleaning one of the school storage rooms when I heard an awful crying. "Sniff...! Wah... I... don't get why he would suddenly cancel our engagement!" "..." I saw that it was the villainess of the story, crying with snot all over her face. I wanted to return the broom but it was clear it might only cause me trouble if I saw her in such a vulnerable state. So... it seems their engagement has been annulled. This is not good. I backed away from the storage room, only to hear even more horrible crying and heavy breathing. "It hurts... why does crying hurts... sniff. I don't understand- I did everything he wanted... Why can't be just love me?" I stopped from my tracks, hesitated and looked at the broom. Those words somehow hit close to home. "...drats." I came back to the storage room and opened the door. "...!" "...are you alright?"

Letters to Romeo.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!

Cahill

I could hear the din from the bar as I exited my SUV and I was still almost a block away. What a shame! I knew from long experience that would change as soon as my foot crossed the threshold. I tend to have that effect on people. I’m six feet six inches tall and I weigh an even 250 pounds—all of it broad shouldered muscle. My Body Mass Index at my last physical was less than four percent. My light brown hair is styled exactly the way it’s been for the past fifteen years—ever since I first joined the Navy. Sure enough, no sooner had I taken my first step into the bar than the noise died. When I turned left and stepped up to the bar the people there couldn’t back away fast enough. I took a stool in the middle of the empty space and sat down, waiting for the bartender to approach. “I’m not looking for any trouble.” “Good…neither am I. Give me a ginger ale.” He reached under the bar for a glass and some ice. Twenty seconds later he slid the glass in my direction. I pulled a fiver from my pocket and dropped it on the bar. He ignored it and walked away to draw a few beers and pour some wine. It looked to me like this was a pretty cheap crowd. Checking up and down the bar all I could see were longnecks and drafts. I reached into the lower left pocket of my cargo pants. Like almost everything else I was wearing they were a true deep navy blue. My heavy shoes were black as was my wide belt. My belt said as much about me as the bold white lettering across my chest. Just below the American flag over my heart were the letters that were my life—U. S. MARSHAL. On my right hip was my nickel plated .44 Magnum Colt Python, just behind two speed loaders in addition to the twenty-four rounds on the belt. On my left hip was my ASP Talon baton—every bit as deadly a weapon in my hands as the revolver. A pouch at the back of my right hip held my stainless steel handcuffs and its partner on the opposite side held my radio—my link to my backup team. I placed the photo flat on the bar as the bartender returned to me. “I’ll have another,” I said in a loud voice, continuing so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Don’t pick it up and don’t make a production of looking at it. I’ve been told that he comes here a lot. Is he here tonight? If he is and he escapes because you’ve given me away I’ll see to it that you’re arrested for obstruction of justice.” He gulped a few times but did as he was told, nodding slightly in response. I continued almost at a whisper. “If my nose is pointing to twelve o’clock, my right ear to three, the back of my head to six, and my left ear to nine, tell me where he is. Again, don’t point or do anything obvious and we’ll be fine.” He pretended to wipe the bar as he whispered, “About 4:30 with his back to you.” I picked up the reflection in the mirror then asked, “Red shirt with black and white stripes, looking away from me?” He nodded again. Now, in my normal tone of voice I asked, “Where’s the men’s room?”
