Characters/Pairing:

MC: Dahlia Schuyler (you) paired with Male LI Samuel Dalton

Summary: Sam has left Sofia at the altar publicly and is now vacationing with Dahlia, twins and Carter in Naples.

A/N : I enjoyed writing this, and hope you all enjoy it as much. Break out your favorite bottle of wine/liquor and prepare to drip… set your mood with that special Baby Maker music… Comments welcome! Let’s go!

News Headlines:

“Biotech Mogul leaves Business Princess at the Altar!” “Dalton-Russo Stocks Plummet After Public breakup!” Sam Dalton: Coward or Romantic? The Real Reason He Left on the Big Day!”…

Working on a plan to reduce fallout over calling off the wedding so publicly, a furrow lines Sam’s brow in determination to prove his sincerity to you …planning a life with you is not some fleeting decision made out of fear. The thought of you not existing, or being within reach, has rekindled the protective fire within Sam… he is as focused and commanding as you witnessed in the boardroom at Dalton Enterprises. You can’t stop reliving the moment that changed your life —the moment Sam and the twins convinced you not to take your flight, and whisked you off to Naples.

You sit next to him in your lingerie, bouts of heat and moisture rushing through your center as your desire overtakes you. “Sam”… but he doesn’t reply, transfixed on setting this right immediately…silently anguishing over the fact that it has come this far…almost solidifying you leaving without any form of contact… Sam’s breath catches suddenly, as a sharp pain jolts through his heart. Tears threaten to pour over his gorgeously thick lashes as he squints, shaking his head briskly as if to expel the intrusive memory that had been locked away for the past five years now. He had already lost his true love … he would not lose the love of his life after having convinced her to accept him and the twins for a lifetime.

You grow deeply concerned, but don’t want to cause Sam to become withdrawn, so you choose to be coy instead. “Sam, I’m not going to stop poking you until you give me some attention.“ …”Hmmph?” is the questioning reply Sam gives to your taunting… “One sec, babe. I really need to get this done. I don’t trust anyone else to handle this. It’s too sensitive.”

Your impatience won’t allow you to ignore the fire that has ignited within you. Thinking of Sam’s drive is giving you drive of your own. Memories of your first night together as an official couple flash in your mind. Remembering  how he drove himself deep within you, throbbing with release. {I need that pulse again!} You decide to lay on the floor at a distance that gives a silhouette of your movements over the display of Sam’s laptop (that has taken top priority over you). You begin to slowly wiggle your g-string down with your feet and spread apart … “Hurry love, I’m starting without you …” you moan seductively. Your fingers slowly snake their way down to take a sample of your juices. “…you promised to always take care of me …nnnh… WHEN-EVER I nee-ded you…but if pleasing me doesn’t fall in that , nnnh…ooooh…” (your eyes flutter as you pleasure yourself, speechlessly counting down the seconds until …)

Sam has moved towards you so swiftly that you didn’t realize he had even moved. “Damn, Dahlia” is all you hear as you feel Sam’s oral erection dive into your overflowing center. “Damn you taste good.” His craving ignites, and he pins your hands underneath you. Be a good girl and keep those there…and remember … YOU asked for this”… He lies between your legs, wrapping his muscular arms underneath your thighs. With a sudden jerk of his hands, he quickly pulls you to him. You gasp at the vibrating ripple stemming from your clit to the tip of his tongue, which is suctioned to your trembling walls, as Sam hums at the taste of you. “Mmmmm!”His tongue lunges deep into you…the firmness of his nose pressing stimulating circles against your nub as he works you skillfully… you suck in a sharp breath…moans escaping your lips as you bite them to fight off a pleasurable scream…

“Lemme hear how good this feels to you” … Sam’s husky words reach you between your labored breaths…”Damn you’re so hot and wet for me”…  the intensity of his deep slow strokes rotated with quick flicks of your clit with the tip of his tongue sends your pleasure flooding through… “that’s it, cum for me!” Those words send a thrill that causes you to buck in rhythm with Sam…you need to touch him… Quickly removing your hands from underneath you, you dig your nails into his shoulder gently at first, but piercingly as you begin to climax.

Sensing your release, Sam drinks all that your body offers…his hands gripping your ass firmly, preventing any resistance of pleasure. He grins up at you knowingly, then releases you to quickly remove his clothing. “How do you want me, Dahlia? It’s yours to command.” You give him a naughty smirk and roll on your left side. You then use your right arm to suspend your right leg in the air. “Oh, you want thrust action. I’ve got you, Dahlia. Hold tight.”

Sam eases towards you, stroking his full length with precision. Giving it the needed shake to rush the blood flow… to give you exactly what you begged for…ALL OF HIM…he lightly taps the head against your clit, reminding you of the weighted pleasure you are about to receive. He leans across you, kissing you soft and passionately as he eases into you. Succumbing to his own excitement, he gives a trembling thrust until your bases connect. He hesitates as he takes in your heat…pulsating within you. You gently claw his sides until you take hold of his flexed ass urging him to move within you. He begins to slowly withdraw letting you wet every inch of him, then winds forward with a rush that says he doesn’t want this feeling to end. Stroke after stroke pushes you higher and higher, causing you to whisper the command…”Fuck me Sam…”, moaning “… ooooooh, yes baby! Harder!” Complying, Sam leans back steadying your leg on his shoulder and placing your hand on his chest. He thrusts your depths until a river flows over him as you cry out his name. “Sam!” You feel his heated flow rush through you as he breathes out your name intensely…”Dahlia…” His shaft still pulsates inside you calming from his release…Sam lowers himself onto you holding back his full weight. He gives you a lingering kiss while rolling over with you lying on top of his chest.

He runs his fingers ever so slowly through your hair, soothing you. “Did you get what you needed?” You smile against his chest,and teasingly say, “you know I do every time.” You playfully grasp his taut nipple between your teeth, giving it a gentle tug. “Okay, baby. A little while longer lying like this, then I have to get back to putting out the other fires brewing.” Sighing, you roll off Sam. “Yes, Mr. Dalton. I understand. But, ummm, ink me in for a lunch session.”   Sam laughs, calling you insatiable, but he clears his calendar for your lunch date.

Sam opens his laptop, and an email immediately comes in marked high priority from none other than Sofia Russo… Sam’s eyes grow dark as he informs you of the content.

I can’t even put into words how much I appreciate @twinkleallnight @texaskitten30 @bebepac @anjanettexcordonia @gkittylove99 @txemrn @kat-tia801 @queenrileyrose @kingliam2019 @khoicesbyk and @cordonianroyalty for being so supportive. I’m new to the fandom, and they have been so beyond welcoming and sweet, not to mention supportive of the first series (not a fic per se) I started, as well as my first fic (which I had 0 confidence in, but they all made me feel so much better about it). It makes me so happy to know I have this great support system in my corner to support this new outlet I have found. 💚💜

I'd Rather Go Blind

I'm having a great day, and I'm on my way to celebrate with my handsome husband. I can't wait to feel his hands all over me. As I continue walking, I start to thinking about all of the freaky sex I've had with my husband during the social season. That man of mine loves to take me outside. I knew he was kinky but over time that man took kinky to a whole new level and I'm just loving it. And I'm taking my love straight to my husband and I'm gonna show him just how much I love him. We've come a long way, and we deserve to enjoy each other. As I reach the door of his office, I see that there's no guard standing outside so I assume his meeting was over. I slowly open his office door and stick my head in and OMG! Are you fucking kidding me!

Knight Thunder MasterList

Author’s Note

Ch 1 Once upon a time A case of mistaken identity leads Jamison Llewellyn also known as Reimeiko Thunderis and her band of Knights to the kingdom of Taboria to uncover a conspiracy and reunite the personality of Karyson Wolfe with his human and hero counterparts before he is tied up in the middle of it all. There is tons of lies, deceit, conspiracy, treason, black mail, tyrants, action, adventure and romance.

Ch 2 New York and Karyson Wolfe Jamison Llewellyn still under the disguise of Reimeiko Thunderis is shocked when she sees Tristan's royal self of Karyson Wolfe with three other guys in New York when Tristan is supposed to be elsewhere. Her investigation leads her to the conclusion that somehow or another Karyson was separated from his other two personalities; and to make matters worse, he has no memory of Reimeiko and his past with her.

Ch 3 The Royal Truth Revealed Jamison Llewellyn takes Karyson and his friends to Destiny's Rose a sleek nightclub nearby and gains more than she bargains for when the truth of his companions and why they are there is revealed although there is more to the story than meets the eye and a short amount of time to learn it all.

Ch 4 Love and Liberty While Karyson's companions are otherwise engaged, Jamison takes Karyson to see Lady Liberty with the help of her fellow Knights and gains more in her investigation which she relays to their parents and the Universal Council. Malachi Blanchard presents Reimeiko with the chance to compete for Karyson not knowing there was more to the story than meets the eye.

Ch 5 Preparations for “Thaddea” Back in the persona of Reimeiko Thunderis, Jamison joins Malachi Blanchard and Derrick Werner on the trip to, in actuality, the kingdom of Taboria to "compete" for Karyson and learning more of the story by getting the backgrounds of all the related characters. The other Knights and the Universal Alliance fleet follow in order to provide backup against any evil that threatens the future

Ch 6 Welcome to “Thaddea” Upon arrival in Taboria, Reimeiko discovers the real reason behind a Thaddean Prince filling in for a Taborian one in the Social Season courting charade nearly blows her cover before all the evidence can be gathered. Then meeting the incorrigible Byron Blanchard takes a whole new turn when he discovers her true identity. But Reimeiko stands her ground setting rules and regulations of her own.

Ch 7 Reunited Knights While getting settled in her new environment, Reimeiko is "introduced" to Byron Blanchard Duke of Chinoa and the biggest grouch and stick in the mud ever brought to life. Despite her misgivings, she stays to help House Blanchard and continue on with the competition but it was going to be on her terms.

Ch 8 Tours and History Lessons Reimeiko puts her foot down with the Blanchard Brothers while on a tour with them of the palace and the history of the kingdoms, as well as laying down her own set of rules and regulations.

Ch 9 Explanations and Revelations While going farther into the tour Reimeiko explains her reasons for getting "Involved" with the Social Season gaining a little more of Byron's confidence in her, then later explains the situation to her friend Pepper D'Angelo who is covering the story for KTSE news which is the news station for ThunderStar Enterprises.

Ch 10 Time and Tide After updating Pepper D'Angelo about what was going on and what she was doing in Taboria, Reimeiko joins Derrick on the roof and learns more about what was going on herself and even decides to surprise Karyson by sneaking into his room along the way.

Ch 11 Reimeiko’s History Reimeiko shares her backstory with Derrick about who she really is and where she fits in and even though she shows him the truth, he still does not believe her. The arrival of the Animegis Guardians brings more information into the investigation. She meets the first of the other suitors in the palace boutique Elenia Zhang and gains quite a bit of information. 

Ch 12 Introductions While working the Masquerade Ball, Reimeiko meets up with Lamani Evander, Jamison's sister in law Erin and Derrick helps her to get the first dance by going through the kitchen.

Ch 13 Hidden Masquerade While dancing with her true love, an evil and sinister plot is being hatched against Reimeiko and more history comes to light.

Hey, Friends and Followers!

I hope y'all are doing absolutely fantastic! My little space on Tumblr is in need of tidying deep cleaning, and I need YOUR help!

1. TAG LIST UPDATE

Whew, this tag list of mine is a jumbled up MESS!

Can I just take a minute and tell y'all how unbelievably grateful I am that I even have this problem?! For real, Tumblr is the family I never knew I needed, and I appreciate every single comment, like, reblog, ask, message, tag... gah, y'all are so special to me, and I am so, so thankful for YOU! 🥰

Let's talk tags: below the cut is my current tag list. Please help me out by doing one of the following:

Please COMMENT on this post or MESSAGE me personally, and tell me exactly what I need to do with your tag. If you want to follow a certain story/series, don't be afraid to tell me specifically what you want. If you're feeling wild, request a perma tag, and I will tag you in everything. If you are not on my current list, now is the PERFECT time to request a tag!

If you want to be removed completely, there are NO HARD FEELINGS. Things change. Whatever your reason may be, I know how awkward that conversation can be. So, I'd like to make it easy for you: if you do NOT comment or send me a message, I will take that as your respectful request to be removed.

'Likes' on this post are sweet and appreciated, but they do NOT communicate what you want me to do with your tag. Please, please, please comment or message me. 🥰

2. Masterlist

I am going to be updating my Masterlist (I can already hear a few of y'all rejoicing). I want to apologize ahead of time for taking up space in your feed. Please be gracious and patient, and I will get it all figured out quickly. Thank you so much for your understanding!

A Beautiful Ending

Prologue

Pairing: Liam x MC

Book: The Royal Romance

A/N and Trigger Warning: I’ve had this one stored away in my mind for a nearly 2 years, the idea itself being based on something I’d watched a long time ago. It will only be a few chapters long. **There will be a character death in this, and it does involve a child. **  I can say though, what you think is going to happen isn’t exactly what happens, not that that makes it any better. 

Word count: 1105

--------------------------

Billowing vapors of heat and humidity rose like seas of sweltering fractals across the tarmac. The slosh of softening tar and cement could be heard as a small caravan, led by the Royal Guard in SUVs and motorcycles, drove boldly through the gates that led to the private 757 jetliner owned by the Crown.

The limo came to a complete stop with a squeal of its brakes and dulling engine, just steps away from the plane. Bastien causally departed the front passenger's side, adjusting the brim of his black woolen suit jacket, the bright yellow sun reflecting in the shaded frames of his glasses. Within only a few seconds, beads of warm sweat had already pooled at his temple and slowly crept along his hairline.

A Cordonian summer could be cruel and intense.

Pausing for just a split-second, he winced at the stiffness and throb in his knee as he took his first step -- a constant reminder of what he gave for the crown six years ago at the Costume Ball.

A constant reminder of what was always at stake.

He stepped away with an unremarkable limp to the rear of the limo and placed a firm grip on the door latch; he glanced to his left, then to his right, ensuring his men and women were in their designated positions. Confidence and precision were essential here; everyone knew their part. One wrong move, an error in judgment, or a slight mishap, could make the difference between life and an unthinkable tragedy. Nothing should ever be taken for granted.

For what they are securing inside that vehicle wasn't just royalty -- a young King and Queen of Cordonia -- but a little family, precious cargo, timeless treasures of love and devotion to one another.

A beautiful beginning.

In all of his 25 years of service, Bastien Lykel understood all too well what the King had lost: a childhood marred of its innocence, the untimely death of a beloved mother, the horrific death of an implacable father, and the plans he had prepared for his life as the spare. It was all terribly sad, really, but in the here and now, His Majesty carried on happily with the help of one woman and the two children they lovingly brought into the world. To Bastien, he would be damned if he allowed another deadly incident to take all that away from Liam.

But sometimes, those unforeseen occurrences caught up with a person — destiny and fate bowed to no one.

Nodding to the driver who stood on the opposite side of the limo from him, they simultaneously opened the doors.

Almost instantly, a powerful gust of wind swept through the vehicle, causing Riley's lustrous textured hair to become artfully messy as it hurtled wildly across her radiantly smiling face.

With knees pressed together and her grinning one-year-old son -- whose wispy blonde locks resembled the most yellowish of marigolds -- wrapped in her secure arms, the beaming Queen stepped out into the noisy haze. Her floral print sundress twisted and clashed like a dauntless flag against her thighs, and she had the presence of mind to bunch up the lower part to keep her backside from making its way onto the front pages of newspapers again.

Shifting her son higher on her hip, the Queen whirled around to see if the other half of her heart was behind her.

Across from them, the driver stepped back and lowered his head to the towering figure of the King as he made his way out of the limo. Offering a courteous wave and smile to several dozen royal watchers, all pressing themselves against a chain-length fence several yards away, calling out his name, Liam reached back inside the limo where a tiny hand clamped onto his and scooted her way across the leather seats to join him at his side. A smaller version of her mother, the five-year-old princess shot a curious glance at the boisterous crowd; she could never quite figure out why people were so interested in what her family was doing.

While staff worked diligently on loading luggage onto the plane, the family of four joined Bastien, who would follow closely behind them as they headed toward the rolling steps of the jet.

The enthusiastic crowd roared louder when they got the first glimpses of the monarchs with their small children together. Liam and Riley enjoyed a popularity that seemingly was unparallel to anything the country had ever experienced. None of which would be possible without their generosity and charismatic personalities; the press and the people clung to their comings and goings like magnets.

Liam gently tugged on his daughter's balmy hand while she sluggishly trudged alongside him. He shook his head with an amused grin, taking in her dainty curls, bouncing and bobbing with each change in the wind's direction. There's nothing quite like admiring your very own piece of artwork, whose hearty giggles or cries had the ability to break him into a withering shell of himself.

Placing his other hand on the small of Riley's back as she took the first step onto the stairs, Liam's stoic gaze turned back to acknowledge his citizens one last time with a quick wave before ascending the steps behind his wife. Thoughts of a long, exhausting work week were put behind him, and he looked forward to landing in Greece within the hour. It had been months since the family last got away together and even longer since he'd visited his brother, Leo.

As Liam's foot hit the fourth step, a thunderous commotion of sorts broke out over the blare of the jet's whirling engines. There was no time to turn and see what had caused the crowd to erupt. No time to even process whether their gasps were something nonsensical or cause for concern. It was the gentle hand that had earlier clutched his so tightly, in only the way a daughter who trusted her father's loving protection would, slipping away, that gained his attention.

He couldn't catch her -- a fact that would torment him later. It wouldn't have made much difference, but his long-held beliefs were that a daddy was supposed to be the one to catch his child, not the guard.

But this wasn't a fall or a slip.

Liam's eyes widened, a noticeable expression of worry and panic etched on his face. His Princess laid limply, motionless, outwardly void of life, in Bastien's arms. "El?" he muttered, with a shudder in his voice, before tearing her away from the clutches of his head guard and cleaving her to his breathless chest.

Remember Me...

“Are you sure, we should talk to her Riley?” Liam asked his loving wife, again, while getting ready for his meeting. 

Riley adjusted his tie and moved her fingers through his sideburns that were turning white. “Liam, we have tried all the other ways. You care for him a lot. Give it a try.”

“But what about Madeleine? My brother left her and then I did the same. She has lived a solitary life since then. I don’t want to hurt her again.”

“She is stronger than what you think. I have spent a long time with her by my side, since I took up my role as your queen.”

Liam let out a sigh. Riley hugged him; her warmth filling him in with reassurance. Her words fell softly on his ears, “We will pull him back. She will help us. Don’t you worry, dear.”

They both walked out of their chambers with ever smiling faces. The staff greeting them on their way to the private meeting room was unaware of the restlessness behind their king’s calm eyes.

_--_--_--_--_

Madeleine looked at the old wall clock in the study. It had been twenty-six long years. Twenty-six years of loyal service to the crown. Twenty six years of being ten minutes ahead of time for all the royal meetings.

 A diary sat on the table in front of her. It's leather cover had the royal crest embossed in gold on the upper half. Madeleine's perfectly manicured fingers were making circles on the smaller insignia of the duchy of Fydelia below the royal crest. She gathered her thoughts and opened the diary to quickly glance through the day’s events logged in. She closed it delicately after flipping the important pages. 

Madeleine rose straightening her dress and setting her grey short curls back. She stepped up in her flat shoes; heels were a thing in the past. Her legs were not as nimble in heels as they used to be.  She counted the ticking of the clock and thought, ‘It's time.’

The doors opened as the royal couple walked in. Madeleine did not expect Riley for the meeting but knew better to keep her reactions covered behind her bright red smile. 

“Your majesties!”

“How are you this morning, Madeleine?” Riley perked up. 

“Very well, thank you.”

They took their seats and it struck Madeleine that, oddly, Riley sat beside her instead of taking a seat across the table, next to her husband.

“What’s wrong?” her gaze shifted between Liam and Riley. 

“Madeleine…” Liam faltered as Riley gave him an encouraging look. “ We need your assistance in a matter.” He looked back at Riley for help.

Riley closed her eyes for a moment before she spoke with conviction. “Maddie, I am going to keep it short, straight and direct.” She took another deep breath and continued. “He is here.” 

“What? Who?...” Madeleine stared at both of them for a minute as realization dawned upon her. 

Memories of yester years came lashing back at her. Her handsome hero in his royal regalia, towered in front of her slender stature. Her hands proudly moving over his sapphire sash, had felt his strong frame. He had lifted her chin and she had raised her eyelids to get lost into his ocean blue eyes. When their lips touched for her first kiss, her fingers had nested in his sandy blonde hair. Her naïve response had made him chuckle. "Mad, Maddie!”

“Maddie..” Riley’s soft call brought her back. “Say something.”

Madeleine focused, “What do you want me to say?”

Liam cleared his throat. “Madeleine, seven months ago his wife, Katie, passed away and since then he has not been himself.”

Madeleine said with a bite, “He never came back to Cordonia. Why now? After all these years?”

“His daughter is pregnant and couldn’t manage him. That’s when she reached out to us. He is devastated. He keeps speaking to himself and blabbers nonsense.” Liam tried to explain.

Riley placed her hand on Madeleine’s and held her numbed fingers. “Maddie, Liam tried. We didn’t want to involve you. But you know these Rhys men, it’s not easy to make them open up. Maybe, you can help us… somehow.” 

Madeleine blinked to keep her tears at bay. “I have few meetings lined up. I will get back to you.” 

Liam interrupted, “I have cleared your day. I understand it’s a lot. If only we knew of other options, we would not have asked you for this.”

Madeleine nodded and got up holding  her diary close to her heart. She contained her inner turmoil and bowed away. Liam and Riley watched her receding figure with silent thoughts.  

 Madeleine walked swiftly to her chambers.Once behind the doors, her steps became heavy. She trudged across the room to her dressing table. She stared blankly into the mirror. Her hand moved over her cheek. Her fingers paused around the wrinkles forming around her eyes. She had hidden the stressful lines of her lonely life behind her makeup.

She slumped down on her couch, her diary still clutched in her other hand. She placed it on her lap and slowly opened it. Her eyes settled gloomingly at the inbuilt folder. She pulled out an old polaroid photograph from it. A pair of blue eyes stared back at her while a tear painfully rolled down her cheek. “Ohh Leo...!” she sighed.

Patricia were in a last-minute meeting called by the council. 

The Royals went off, and the Queen read the room and then snapped. 

The King finally found his balls, and they had gotten quite large.

Bartholomey had informed the King and Queen that he was labeling them unfit to raise their own child and appointed himself Regent. When Bartholomey reached for the baby, all hell broke loose. 

The King and Queen both stepped back while preparing to go into Poppa and Mamma bear mode. The Queen gently placed her hand on her husband's shoulder, signaling him to allow her to handle it. 

The King reluctantly agreed and turned to Olivia and handed the child to her. He gave her a look that she recognized as a signal to protect the child with her life -- something she would do regardless of being asked. 

Olivia stepped away with the child, taking her into another room to avoid upsetting her. 

The Queen waited patiently until Olivia and the baby were out of sight, then turned to face the council. 

"Now, let me make sure I have this correct. All of you got together and planned amongst yourselves that my husband, your King, and I, your Queen, are not fit to raise our child? Is that what you all are saying? I wanna make sure that I'm getting this straight."

The entire room went quiet, except for Bartholomey. 

The Queen quickly held her hand up, shutting him up so she could speak. "You have no idea as to what you've just done. So, let me enlighten every one of you right now, so there"s no misunderstandings. How in the hell are you going to give our child to a man who squandered all of his house funds and left his two sons to almost become homeless and starve while he pretended to be in a coma for many years? 

We have a daughter, and with all the pedophiles in the world, you all want us to give him our daughter to raise? Sure, this would be easy for you, Adelaide. Something like this is not new to you; you allowed the male cooks and the housekeepers to raise Madeline. And Landon, you bought your daughter dogs to keep her company, so you didn't have to talk to her. And Hakeem, you and your wife really need to accept the fact that your son is gay and stop trying to make him what he's not. 

Now, back to you, Bartholomey, and please take notes if you need to."

The Queen walked up to Bartholomey, close enough to kiss him, and said, "I will kill you or anyone who tries to take my baby." 

She then headbutts him, causing him to fall flat on his back. 

The King reached for his Queen, but she looked at him with eyes of fire. The Queen's voice became deep with a hint of rage; he knew at that point that she had snapped. 

She took off her jewelry and slipped off her heels. Before anyone could react, she flipped over the table that separated them from the group of nobles. Her yell echoed and boomed throughout the palace. 

The Queen reached under her dress, pulled out a Glock, pointed it at Bartholomey's head, and said, "As Queen of Cordonia, I hereby sentence you, Bartholomey, to death." 

She pulled the trigger. 

The old man's lifeless body fell at the King's feet, who stood in shock at his Queen's actions. 

Bastien was strangely silent and never moved to stop the Queen, nor did the King. 

The Queen began to walk over to Landon and his wife and placed her gun to Landon's forehead, then tilted her head to the side and said, "Now, for the re-vote; who here agrees with this dead man, that my husband and I are unfit to raise our child? Speak now, or forever hold your peace!"

The voices that said nay sounded throughout the room. 

The Queen turned and said, "That's what I thought!"

The King stepped up to his Queen, gently kissed her on the forehead, and took the gun out of her hand. 

For the first time, the King spoke to his council members.

"I, along with my Queen, are very disappointed in every one of you. With that said, this council has proven itself untrustworthy and does not serve the purpose for which it was created. I don't know what Bartholomey had on each of you to make you turn on us with such vindictiveness and disloyalty. In truth, we don't care. I know that I cannot have people like you around me and my family."

The King motioned for Bastien to bring him his briefcase. He opened it, pulled out three folders, walked over to each noble, and handed them one with their house names. 

He then instructed them to open their folder and read the contents. Each noble read the documents and a look of fear formed on their faces all at once. 

"My Queen and I had these prepared months ago because we were preparing for something like this to happen, but we didn't know when we would need it

We wanted to make sure that we had all of the ammo we required to destroy whatever was being planned in those tiny little minds of

yours. Have you taken the time to look around and observe the fact that not all members are here for your treasonous vote of no

confidence? The bylaws strictly say: that all members of the council are required to hold such a vote. It also says: that if the members

are unable to show just cause, their votes were coerced, threatened harm to oneself, their family, or noble standing, the reigning monarch has the authority to enforce a sanction on those who had

brought said claim without proof. 

You all let this man lying here to fill your heads with dreams or promises of things you didn't earn. And you let your greed for hunger and power blind you to the fact that you had no idea who you were dealing with. My father was a son-of-a-bitch, but I learned two things from him that has helped me my whole life: stay one step ahead of all of those you rule and be prepared for the bullshit. 

My Queen and I have been preparing for your bullshit, and this is, as they say in chess -- Checkmate!"

The next morning the newspaper stated the King and Queen had stepped down, and all noble houses were to be broken up and unrolled. The only exceptions were: Ramsford, Lythikos, Fydelia, Domvalier, Cormery Isle, and Valtoria. 

The King and Queen purchased Valtoria with their own money and lived in a democracy ever after.

Once Upon A Time

Have you ever had one of those days when your past and present lives end up colliding and intertwining somewhere along the way?  I know it may sound crazy but hear me out.  I guess to fully understand how crazy things can get when your true love and soulmate are involved is to start at the beginning.  We all have three personalities, our royal form which in his case is Karyson Gabriel Wolfe of Thaddea, his human and present form Tristan Michael Llewellyn, and his hero form Knight Wolf.  But somehow his royal side got separated from the other two parts of his personality and landed back in Thaddea with no memories of our past together. This is the story of how through a crazy case of mistaken identity, lies, deceit, rivals, hidden agendas, conspiracy, invasion of privacy, blackmail, and manipulation my true love and I as Reimeiko Thunderis made it back to each other and full circle.  I am known as Reimeiko Christyne Amaryllis Thunderis Wolfe by royal standards, Queen of Thunderia and Thaddea thanks to my getting married to Karyson before the last battle with Darcien’s forces. My father, his Knights and fellow royals had to use their combined powers to send us here to be reborn and find each other again.  The problem was none of us had any memory of our pasts until our respective guardians found us and reunited us.  But that is another story for another time.  Anyway, when we were all reborn here, I was born Jamison Logan McKagan the eldest daughter of Robert and Veronica McKagan also known as Thor and Kyiandra Thunderis of Thunderia.  But you already know that, if you know my story.  Anyway, I am getting outrageously off track.  But when this all started, I had no doubt how it would end because of Karyson and our past together.  But boy was I wrong.  I had never felt so betrayed in my life.  How I came into this as Reimeiko Thunderis instead of who I am in the human form?  Well I will tell you.  It all starts here at the Coronation Ball.  On this night, not only will Garyson be taking his place as king, but he will also be choosing his future bride.  At the doors of the grand ballroom stood Jamison Logan McKagan Llewellyn also known as Reimeiko Christyne Amaryllis Thunderis Wolfe of Thunderia and Thaddea.  The Lady Knight of Thunder was getting ready to make a grand entrance.  Tonight was the night for her.  As she entered the ballroom, the herald announced her.

        "Lady Reimeiko Christyne Thunderis." the herald announced. She walked further into the ballroom spotting her friends and Knights from back home as well as some of the friends she had made along the way or so she thought.  Her brother and sister in their Knight forms showed up close to her speaking telepathically.

     (I know that the connection between Karyson and Reimeiko is solid.) Knight Shadow said. (But you might want to take the connection between Jamison McKagan and Tristan Llewellyn into consideration.)

      (Tristan is Karyson’s human form though, remember brother?) Knight Nova replied. (They were separated into their own individual personas somehow and we must figure out how to reunite them, but now is not the time.  The Knights are all stationed throughout the palace grounds, fully powered but dressed for this ball.)

      (Do you not think that you are overdoing it just a bit?) She asked. (How are all the background checks into the key players going?  One cannot know how to play the game without a scorecard and details on everyone involved especially who gains and loses the most.  There are a lot of secrets here and I want to know all of it.  Not just the key players but the background players too.  Leave no stone unturned, leave no passage unexplored.  We had orders to do that before we left.)

(Our wisdom knights are taking care of that and have been since before Dad debriefed us.) Shadow replied. (Anyway, we will keep in close contact with you as the night progresses)

Shadow and Nova made their way into the crowd to check in with the other Knights as Jamison glided over to talk to two other suitors in the competition.  For some reason, she suddenly felt uneasy, why, she did not know.  Granted, she had seen and dealt with her share of evil tyrants, love rivals, band rivals, and threatened hostile takeovers, but she and her Knights had always made it through almost unscathed.

    “Reimeiko, you look so beautiful.” Elenia Zhang gushed. “The prince will not be able to take his eyes off of you all night in that gown.” Jamison drifted back and forth between the first debriefing and present day.

    “First off we have Elenia Zhang.” Marco said. “There is not much known about her and her family except that they are Thaddean nobles who live outside the typical line.  In addition to being a Thaddean noble, Elenia is multi-talented which will be one of her strengths and make her a good ally as well.  Knowing you Jamie, you would have her and everyone else won over in no time.”

    “Hah, he might like the way she looks,” Lamani Evander sneered. “But when it comes to choosing his future queen, he knows who will be able to rule by his side and that woman will be me and me alone.” Back to the debriefing.

   Lamani Evander, she was so evil that she made Dariana Lanoson look and act like an angel, but even though she could scare or intimidate others, she did not scare or intimidate Jamison or Reimeiko.  Long before, Jamison had faced off with the Federation of Evil’s many different factors, love rivals, rival bands, threatened hostile take-overs and she knew how to fight dirty if she had to.  In her royal form of Reimeiko Thunderis, she fought like a man although she was a woman.  Along with her siblings and fellow Knights, she trained from the time she was young to be able to take down and fight the forces of evil who continued relentlessly to take them down and take over the universe.  Reimeiko and Jamison were rejoined or reunited when Jamison was fifteen and was discovered being Princess Reimeiko Thunderis while in her hero form of Knight Thunder and her boyfriend Tristan Llewellyn in his hero form of Knight Wolf was discovered as being Prince Karyson Wolfe of Thaddea which was who Jamison and the others were vying for.  She knew something about Karyson, his true siblings Corydon and Racine, and Samuel and Francine that the other people present did not know.  Samuel, Francine, and the Thaddean Trio were immortal like Reimeiko, her siblings, and Knights; and no matter what the other ladies of court thought, Karyson was Reimeiko’s eternal soulmate.

“Well I can say this without any conviction.” Jamison said. “It will be his choice who rules by his side not yours, and may the best woman win.” To herself she said. “I know it will be me because I have been to the future, I am the Queen in it and none of you are there.”

“I am sure that I will win because I have known him all his life.” Lamani replied.

Jamison rolled her eyes and shook her head as Lamani walked away.  The only other woman in the running so-to-speak was a woman by the name of Almeda Fitzgerald who was being sponsored by the present queen Alyssa Candelaria.  No one had really seen her through the competition because she had been staying close to the queen.  Just then a trumpet sounded, and a herald announced the arrival of Karyson Tristan Michael Llewellyn Wolfe Prince of Thaddea and he was heading right in the direction of Jamison and Elenia.  He took her hand and bowed. “Princess Reimeiko, may I have the pleasure of the next dance with you?” Prince Karyson asked.

“You want to dance with me?” Jamison asked. “I am ready to do much more than just dance with you, but I would love to.”

“I was hoping you would say that.” Karyson replied. He took her hand and whisked her away to the dance floor of the grand ballroom.  As the orchestra plays, he leads her into a waltz around the room her gown swirling as they glide through the steps.

“To think a few months ago as Jamison McKagan,” Jamison acknowledged. “I did not even know the first steps to the waltz.”

“And now no one would ever know that your human form was not born into this life.” Karyson replied. “I hope you never have cause to regret coming here.”

“What do you mean?  Why would you say that?” Jamison asked. “You and Tristan will be reunited before this crazy adventure is over, then so will we be.”

“So much has happened.” he said pausing as the song winds, his hands lingering on her waist and his eyes searched hers which were filled with uncertainty, fear, and confusion. “I need to speak with you.”

“Is something wrong?” Jamison asked, fearful of what the answer would be.  Despite the soulmate connection between them, she knew that something was not right.

“There is nothing really wrong per se.” he replied. “It has been nearly impossible to even get a moment alone with you these last few days, but I need to know--”

“Prince Garyson, may I be so bold as to cut in?” Duchess Lamani Evander asked.

“Oh yes of course.” Karyson replied. “Do not worry, Reimeiko, we will talk later.”

[Yeah right] Jamison thought sourly.  As Lamani and Karyson glided away, Jamison found herself wandering off the dance floor and running into a familiar face in the crowd. “Derrick? I did not know that you would be here tonight.  You look so handsome in your formal uniform instead of your usual mix of clothes.”

“Karyson insisted.” Derrick replied. “I guess I should congratulate you.  You look exactly like one of them.  I guess you are one of them now in these days.”

“Please do not lump me in with those two-faced, hypocritical, narcissistic fleet of bozos and bimbos.” Jamison pleaded. “Real people like you are more fun to be around.  You and I are cut from the same cloth.  We do not fit into their world of snobby losers and I thank God that we do not.”

“This time tomorrow, you might be queen and then our lives are going to go in very different directions.” he said.

“If I am chosen to be his bride, but I have a sick feeling that I will not be,” Jamison said. “I will still be me.  Titles do not make me who I am or who I will be.  Nothing will take me over.”

“Looking at you right now, it is hard to believe that.” Derrick said with a sad look. “This place has a tendency of changing people, and some of us like the woman you used to be.  You know, that right?”

“I promise, I am the same person I was from the beginning, even under this fancy, hard to breathe in a ball gown.” Jamison replied. “Despite everything that has happened, I have not changed.  I am the same Reimeiko Christyne Amaryllis Thunderis, Jamison Logan McKagan Llewellyn.  If there is ever a time you feel that I get too cocky, just remind me of the first time we met, I was taking out the garbage to the big dumpster outside and waiting tables at Russo’s bar and grill.”

“It does feel like it was so long ago.” Derrick acknowledged. “I cannot believe that it has only been a few months since this all began, and it feels more like once upon a time now more than ever after everything.”

Melting moments

Here's wishing all a very happy new year with a new year one shot. This happens many years before the social season.

Book: The Royal Romance AU

Word count: 1206

Disclaimer: All characters belong to pixelberry.

Rating: Teen or PG

It was a chilling new year eve when Kiara tightened the jacket around her slim waist to keep warm. Her straight jet black hair tossed over her arms as she sprinted in her sneakers, moving swiftly on the docks of Portavira. She was late for her plans to meet her best friend.

This was their last year as teens and they got a permission to celebrate on the Ebrim’s personal yacht, just the two of them. She knew well, how her bestie was an introvert and preferred to celebrate in minimal company.

She climbed the yacht gently, up the deck. Isolde, the white pet poodle was sprawled next to a mat and lazily lifted it’s head to give a welcome glance and rested it’s chin back on its paws in disinterest.

Penelope, the owner, as fair as the fur of the poodle, sat on the mat, her lonely blue eyes looking at the clear night sky. A wisp of cold winter air ruffled her short black hair and she shivered slightly in response.

“Hey Pen!”

“Kiki.” Came out the short reply.

Kiara dumped her purse and the jute bag next to the mat and sat down beside Penelope. Her black eyes tried to catch Penelope’s direction of gaze in the sky.

“You know you should have come to the royal palace for the Christmas party. It was so much fun!” Kiara started, pulling out the thermos from the bag.

“I had a quite one with Isolde.” Penelope patted her dog.

“I know but you missed your chance to meet the princes.” Kiara said as she poured out their favourite drinks in the mugs she had carried along.

“I suppose you enjoyed.” Penelope said grabbing her hot chocolate from Kiara.

“Ouiii!” Kiara said with a squeal. The memories of the party filled her heart with warmth, as warm as her hands around her coffee mug.

“You texted me that there was something you wanted to tell me. Is it related to the prince?” Penelope asked coldly, caressing her dog with her free hand.

“Not exactly.” Kiara sighed seeing that her friend wasn’t interested much.

Penelope understood that she needed to pep up for her friend. She could tell her own sad story later. She turned around to give Kiara undivided attention with a smile. “Okay tell me all about it.”

That gesture was enough for Kiara, to open up her treasured chest of stories from her visit to the royal palace.

“You know the crown prince Leo? He is very handsome. The pictures in the Trend magazine don’t do justice to him at all.”

“You spent time with him?”

“Non. He was flirtatious.” Kiara said with a frown. “And there was this Madeleine drooling over him all the time. But his younger brother prince Liam is a real gem. He is so chivalrous and, and…” she fanned out her hands trying to explain.

“Oh, so he was the one?”

“Noooo! Not him…” Kiara blushed and that made Penelope’s eyes go wide. Kiara usually was too focused to bother about any guy around, leave alone getting affected by anyone in particular. She was staring in the blank with a stupid grin on her face.

“Kiki, I am listening.” Penelope waved her hand in front of Kiara’s eyes to bring her back from her trance.

“I am sorry.” Kiara giggled. “He was so cool; he had that rugged look, yet a dashing smile on his face. He had an oomph but a snarky tongue. He carried his simple attire in a most stylish way, making him stand out even in that fashionable crowd of nobles. His eyes had a shine and he could kill you when he narrowed them with that look. He had a magnetism and his dark hair...”

“Oh. My. God.” Penelope blurted.

“What?” Kiara asked puzzled.

“What happened to the future minister of foreign affairs, Kiara Theron? Look at you, you are smitten!”

Kiara straightened up and fumbled with her reply. “Its okay to slip once in a while.” And she went at it again. “It’s not every day that one comes across a stunning species like Drake Walker.”

“So, that’s what the king of the hearts is called.” Penelope beamed at Kiara who was melting in her new found feelings.

“Drraake!” Kiara uttered his name with a stretch as if drinking through each letter. “Oui, that’s him.”

“Who is this Drake Walker?”

“He is Prince Liam’s best friend. Although he is some commoner’s son.” Kiara said it casually as if being a commoner didn’t matter to her at all.

“That explains why I haven’t heard of him or seen him.”

“I think I can solve that problem.” She said flipping through her phone, her fingers nimble over the keys. She opened the phone gallery and flashed a smile when she came across the snap that she had captured stealthily at the palace. She thrust the phone almost in Penelope’s face in excitement. “That’s my hero!”

Penelope had seen prince Liam’s pictures in the magazines many a times so her eyes immediately fixed on the dark-haired young man beside the prince. “He is good.” Penelope gave a simple approval.

“Just good?”

“Kiki.” Penelope took a deep breath. “Its just that, he is your clover brew coffee and I am still searching for my hot chocolate.”

She knew they were poles apart in their choices. Penelope's sweetest tastes against Kiara’s sharp ones. Penelope’s romantic ideas against Kiara’s practical decisions. But that seemed to be tossed over with the advent of this new guy.

“Well, you could have met your hot chocolate if only you would have agreed to accompany me to the Royal’s Christmas party.” Kiara rolled her eyes and kept looking at her phone, the picture still on the screen.

“As if he was there.” Penelope said with sarcasm.

“I think I may know who exactly your hot chocolate is.”

“Who?” Penelope asked curiously.

Kiara started excitedly, “There is this noble house to the west of the Capitol. Their son, I think… No, I am sure, you will like him.”

“What’s so special about him?”

“He was sweet just like you and he sat gazing at the stars.” Penelope glared at Kiara. “Don’t look at me like that. That’s not all. He drank choco chip and vanilla crème and talked about his pet dog all the time.”

“Kiki, as much as I like that, you are acting silly. Just because you were bit by love bug, it’s not necessary for me to fall for someone at the same time.”

“Fine, I agree. But promise me, next chance you are coming with me to the palace.” Kiara stretched out her palm.

“Sure. I promise.” Penelope placed her hand in Kiara’s.

They both hugged and sat with Isolde beside them, looking towards the land as the time ticked to midnight. The fireworks from the duchy filled up the sky to mark the new year between the poodles relentless barking.

“Happy new year!” both wished each other in unison. Penelope fondled Isolde and it calmed down.

“Ahm… What is his name?” Penelope asked.

“Whose?” Kiara asked lost in her blissful imaginations.

“The hot chocolate.”

Kiara laughed out, curling her arms around Penelope. “Maxwell. Lord Maxwell Beaumont.”

Christmas in Cordonia

Summary: Liam, Riley, and Eleanor spend their first Christmas together as a family 

A/N: Merry Christmas @iaminlovewithtrr​ @cordonianroyalty​ 

Riley slept peacefully and snuck into her pillows as she sighed. She felt soft kisses down her neck she smiled as she heard the soft whisper of her husband’s voice “Love…”

“Hmm”

“Time to get up”

“Mmmhmm”

Liam gently shook her “Hey come on love it’s time to get up”

“No…let me…sleep”

Liam chuckles as he gets up and walks to her side of the bed I married a queen who’s not a morning person. He pulls the covers off her as she shrieks

“Liam! It’s cold!”

Liam smirks “The cold never bothered you anyway” He laughs and ducks as she throws a pillow at him “Now get up and get dressed I’m gonna wake our little princess up”

Riley rolls her eyes as she stands and looks out the window she smiles at the snow fall “We’re having a white Christmas this year”

She gets dressed and heads downstairs where Liam is making their daughter some food while she sits in her high chair.

Eleanor looked up her smile growing wide “Mommy!”

Riley smiles and ruffles her hair “Hey there sweetie how are you?”

“Hungwry”

Liam chuckles “I’m coming my little princess”

“Ok daddy”

Riley looked and saw the Christmas tree all decorated with a bunch a presents under the tree “Look baby Santa left something for you”

“Sata! I go open my prwsents mommy?”

“After you eat baby then we’ll all go open present”

“Yay tank you mommy”

“You’re welcome sweetie” Riley kisses her on the forehead

After they eat they head to the parlor to open gifts. Eleanor’s eyes widen “Mine?”

Liam smiles “Yes darling they’re yours”

“Yay!” Eleanor runs to open her gifts

Riley laughs “Whoa slow down tiger let’s start one at a time”

“Ok mommy”

Riley hands her a gift “This one is from Auntie Hana” She rips off the wrapping and opens the box revealing a pink dress inside

“Pwitty”

“Yes pretty baby”

As Eleanor continues to open her gifts Liam hands one to Riley “This is for you love”

“You didn’t have to get me anything Liam”

“But I wanted to how else can I show my lovely wife how much I love her”

Riley smiles and unwraps the gift. She opens it revealing a silver heart necklace with a blue sapphire in the middle “Liam…”

“It was my mother’s a Christmas gift from my father”

“Liam I can’t take this it’s very valuable to you”

“So are you love” He takes the necklace out of the box “I’m giving you this so you know how precious you are to me. Just as this necklace was a symbol of my father’s love for my mother it’s a symbol of my love to you”

“Liam” She wipes her eyes as tears fall down her face “I love you”

“I love you too” He kisses her deeply then pulls away “Let me put it on” He fastens the necklace around her neck and smiles “It looks beautiful on you”

“Thank you Liam and I have something for you too”

“You do?”

She nods and hands him a book with a ribbon tied around it. He opens it and smiles “Riley…”

“Just a little scrapbook I made” She giggles “I think you know where the idea came from”

Liam chuckles “Oh yes I do” He flips through the book “This is from where we first met and the day I proposed to you and our wedding day”

“I included everything from our love story”

Liam closes the book “Thank you Riley I love it” He kisses her deeply

“I have a second part to the gift”

“What is it?”

Riley hands him a card and Liam opens it revealing an ultrasound picture

See you next year daddy

Liam’s eyes went wide and he turned to her “Riley you’re-”

“Pregnant” Riley giggles “Yes I took 4 pregnancy tests and they all came back positive but I wanted to get confirmed by the doctor” Liam stands and picks her up and spins her around “Liam! Put me down before I barf on you!”

Liam laughs and sets her down “I love you so much my queen” He kneels down “And I love you little one I can’t wait to meet you” He kisses her stomach he turns to Eleanor who is playing with her toys “Guess what sweetie?”

“What daddy?”

“You’re gonna have a brother or sister”

Eleanor grins “Yay! What are you having mommy?”

“Don’t know yet baby”

“I want sissy”

“Me too baby”

Liam chuckles “This one is definitely gonna be boy”

“No daddy it sissy”

“We’ll shall see won’t we”

“I can’t wait to meet them mommy”

“Me too baby”

Liam wraps an arm around her waist “This is the best Christmas ever” He kisses her softly “Merry Christmas my love”

“Merry Christmas Liam”
