A small smile graced your lips as you wandered deep inside the royal boutique, ball gowns of every colour and such intricate designs made it harder for you to select a design for yourself.

The royal suitor’s ball was a month away now, causing you to start preparing for it already. Now, this wasn't any ordinary ball, it was hosted by the most powerful kingdom out of three on the land of evander, the kingdom of Lavosta being the most powerful one, it had control over your kingdom, the kingdom of Azira and your rival kingdom, the kingdom of Nairid.

Nairid was ruled by king and queen park, they had a son, the heir to the throne who was born in the same year as you. Prince Park Jongseong, well known for his vast knowledge and graceful appearance, he was the next to be the king and was deemed perfect for the same.

Your kingdoms have been at war long before you were born, a truce was called not too long back as Lavosta had stopped sending resources to both the kingdoms, for the war had no positive outcome for their kingdom. But that didn't stop them from hating each other.

You continued searching for your gown as your elder brother joined you, “will you be wearing our kingdom colour for the ball?” Prince Heeseung asked, pointing at the royal blue gown your eyes were fixated on, he was two years older than you, and would be the one to take over the throne after your father.

“That would be too obvious, I'd fancy wearing something mysterious, and perhaps new instead,” you admitted as your gaze fell on a delicate black ball gown, the kind you had never seen before. Heeseung let out a small laugh, knowing all too well that you'll be adamant about getting that gown now.

And he was right, you chose the same gown and further asked the dress designer to make some changes in the design, adjusting it to your size for it to appear perfect.

Being the princess of Azira, you had to stay composed and portray your flawless etiquettes, no matter how tiring it got, you were adamant to give your best for your citizens. Nevertheless, the public loved you for you were — genuine and caring towards all despite the difference in their titles.

Giving your measurements to the royal tailor, you both rushed back to the palace for the supper. Your parents, the king and the queen questioned you about your preparations for the said ball, they seemed to be more intrigued than you were for the same, and you thanked the universe for getting such supportive parents.

You were nineteen, meaning that you would finally make your debut into the society as someone who's pursuing a suitor. Nineteen being the minimal age of allowance at the ball.

It was further discussed how Heeseung won't be attending the ball for he wanted to focus on studying for the time being, to be a successful successive king.

“I don't need to marry until I'm twenty three, as I'll take over by the time I’m twenty four,” he theorized.

The topic further shifted to Nairid, Prince Jongseong was to attend the ball as well, and you were warned to stay away from him, not that you needed to be told. You'd stay away from anything that could cause harm to your kingdom. You loved your people dearly.

The dinner soon concluded, and you were being prepped for the bed by your lady in waiting, named Anne, and slumber overtook you soon, dreams of finding your significant other overtook your brain, causing a small smile to crinkle onto your lips, an unfamiliar warmth filling up your body.

Far away in the land of Nairid, Prince Jongseong was going through the same procedures. For someone who's never paid attention to females other than being polite to them, he seemed to have a rather giddy feeling blooming up in him.

He had always been busy, learning about anything and everything he could, he craved knowledge, just like you did but he grasped more, saying it's essential for a king to know everything. Nevertheless, he enjoyed it.

Citizens adored him for being polite and understanding, helping them anytime he could. It brought him joy to see the citizens of his kingdom happy and comfortable in their own land.

That wasn't all though, Jongseong had a perfectly sculpted and fine-boned face, a body that can fight off any foe and eyes that could intrigue anyone.

He chose to wear black, just to maintain anonymity, as the theme for the year was masquerade, also because he fancied the colour black. He would not pursue just anyone, he would only write his name on the dance card of the woman he'd really be intrigued with, meaning he’d have very few dances, he’d have to keep in mind that this development would be important for his kingdom as his wife would become the queen once he becomes the king. With this thought, he fell into dreamland, a small smile lingering on his face.

Time passed by as all the royals kept on preparing for this big event. Three days before the event, you were busy guiding and packing all your essentials and luggage along with your lady in waiting. You were going there a day prior to settle in, and were going to leave as soon as the ball concluded, as it was a day-long journey from Azira to Lavosta.

Yet again, you were warned about Jongseong but it raised a slight problem, you had no clue what he looked like for you had never seen his portrait before, but you agreed to stay attentive nevertheless, staying away from anyone who wore his kingdom colours. You were promised to be shown his portrait as soon as it reached the palace for you to be more conscious of the successive balls you would be attending.

Meaning, you'll just have to guess his identity this particular time.

Soon you were on your way to your carriage, The King, Queen and Prince Heeseung, coming all the way out to see you off, “don't do anything naughty,” Heeseung giggled with a teasing smile causing everyone to laugh and for you to throw your handkerchief at him.

“What do you take me as?” You huffed with a pout, making him laugh even more.

You left Azira with a light heart, your ladies in waiting accompanied you along with guards to ensure safety.

While at Nairid, Jongseong faced the same problem, him being warned about your presence at the said ball without having any portrait to show him your features, only a description, which too wasn’t very particular about your features, nevertheless, he promised to stay alert and left for the ball, as it took a day to reach Lavosta from his kingdom too.

The journey was smooth and you were greeted by Queen Taeyeon of Lavosta as soon as you arrived at your destination, being on your best behaviour, you greeted her with a respectful bow as she gracefully smiled at your beauty, asking about your parents and their health.

Soon you were being escorted to your chamber and were free to rest for the day, taking in the beautiful scenery at the palace.

Jongseong arrived a while later, going through the same procedures, except his chamber was in the opposite direction of the grand palace. To say that everyone was nervous would be an understatement, attending such events meant being judged for even the minute details considering how everyone expects the best from the suitors.

Now that both the big kingdoms had sent their royal heirs, the expectations rose to an even higher level. The talks about your beauty and cleverness were all around the palace along with how Jongseong had a perfect face and appreciating worthy etiquettes.

You had been in your chamber the whole day, resting and calming down your racing heart, also noticing all the differences between your kingdom and here.

When it didn't stop, you decided to take a stroll to the famous rose garden of the palace. It was empty, just as you expected it to be and you were glad to be getting some time out in nature while the stars glistened, you had asked your guards to stay back at the entrance.

After a brief half hour of strolling and blessing your eyes with the prettiest roses you had ever come across, you decided to go back to your chamber. A sudden moment made you halt your steps, you hid your face with your handkerchief, enough to cover your face so that no one would recognize you.

“Is someone out there?” You started speed walking and turned back for a moment to see a stiletto standing there, staring at you with curiosity. That was enough to make you leave.

Prince Jongseong had seen you, or better, the shadowed face of you considering the lack of light during the nighttime.

His curiosity piqued as he didn't expect anyone to be awake this late at night, someone who would look beautiful even in the darkness, someone who’s charm spread all over the place with just their existence.

Soon enough, he left as well, just to look presentable for the big event tomorrow. Exhaustion overtook you both and sleep came to you easily.

The day of the suitors ball had finally arrived, everyone was in a frenzy to ensure that it went by smoothly. You were a nervous wreck, just as your ladies in waiting were. They made sure to get you ready and ensured to not even let a hair out of place, you had to look perfect enough to be every suitor's dream in order to catch the attention of someone who would be beneficial for your kingdom.

As soon as you entered the ball room, all eyes turned to look at you. Few of the reasons being — firstly, you were the only one with a black gown and, secondly, you looked beautiful even with a mask covering half of your face, grace dripping off your movements. Giving them a hesitant smile, you moved inside.

Jongseong made his entrance after a few minutes, you noticed how he was the only one other than you who wore black, and that his mask did nothing to hide his sharp jawline not to mention how his neck had a small heart shaped birthmark, similar to the one on your left clavicle. Your eyes couldn’t leave his figure.

You, being observant, noted how he walked with a perfect posture and his strides were confident, more confident than any other person you saw here. The man made you want to talk to him, approach him.

The royal dance commenced and several royals were quick to approach you for dance, writing their names on your dance card. You politely declined many of them, dancing with only two you found worthy enough as your mind kept wandering back to the guy in black.

He had noticed you too, your bold choice of colour intriguing him enough to muster up his courage to ask you for a dance.

“May I have the honour of dancing with you, my lady?” He asked, not knowing your title of being a princess and you kept it that way.

“I’d be glad to, sir,” you responded with a smile.

He didn't write his name on your dance card, you both did not even as much as ask for each other's name, saying how this anonymity made you both more curious.

He gently held on to your hand, placing his other hand on your waist and pulling you closer, close enough for you to take in his scent.

It was exquisite and unfamiliar.

Not a lot of words were exchanged during the dance, but you didn't fail to notice how light his hold was on your waist, as if he didn't want to cross any boundaries and you were truly grateful for that, but didn‘t stop your heart from beating fast.

“Shall we go for a stroll to the rose garden, my lady?” He offered soon after the melody had concluded.

You hesitated leaving the ball, however, something about this stranger made you want to break your rules just a snitch.

You agreed and made your way out with him.

As you both walked, you suddenly asked, “what should I call you, sire?”

He chuckled softly at your sweet voice and replied, “you can call me Jay, it's not my real name though.”

Only his friends called him Jay and no one else knew about this nickname of his. You nodded, acknowledging this before saying his name out, testing how it rolled off your lips.

“Can I call you queen?” he suddenly asked.

“Queen? Why so?” you asked, slightly confused.

“You have a strong and beautiful aura, which reminds me of how a queen should be,” he explained and it made you smile.

“Then you shall do it,” you said, trying to calm your racing heart.

You both reached a bench and sat down, gazing at the night sky. You removed your mask softly and Jay turned to look at you, mesmerized how elegant you looked even in the dim light of the night sky, your face lighting up in the moonlight.

“You're beautiful,” he blurted out without realizing what he said.

You laughed and thanked him, it made you feel better about yourself. Soon enough he removed his mask too and god he was beautiful.

“You look divine,” you spoke and he thanked the night for hiding his blush before he thanked you for the compliment.

And then you talked about your likes and dislikes, favourite colours and hobbies but never once came the topic of kingdoms.

A part of you both knew that maintaining anonymity could cause you to never meet again but you both promised to attend the yearly ball taking place just two weeks after this one. The ball which the public is allowed to attend too.

You decided that you liked him, he made you feel at ease, he felt the same but you both decided to keep these newfound feelings to yourself for now. The rest of the ball was spent the same way and you wouldn't change it for the world. Soon it was time to leave.

“I'll wait for you,” Jay said, looking forward to the next ball.

“I'll be there,” you promised. He bent down slightly, looking into your eyes with a soft glint before he gave you a small peck on your forehead, soon shying away. That's how you bid each other goodbye, butterflies filling up your lower abdomen.

All the time on your way back, you kept thinking about him, excited to tell your parents about him. Your ladies in waiting teased you for falling so fast but you didn't care. You felt happy.

Jay felt attached already, he felt that you'd become a great queen for him not just because he liked you, but he knew how intelligent you were from the conversations you had. It was no secret that both of you were attracted to knowledge, a small smile on his face as he looked at the beauty of trees outside from his carriage.

When you reached Azira, you told your parents and Prince Heeseung all about the ball, they were happy for you but your mother had a bad feeling about this, which she hid behind her smile.

Heeseung jokingly called you stupid for not asking his name and you agreed a bit on that part.

A few days had passed by, you were indulged in your daily work and classes as a princess. Your lady in waiting informed you that Prince Jongseong's portrait had reached your palace, now you would finally know who to stay away from. A bad feeling made you want to not go and check the same, but you did so for your safety as you reached your chamber and asked your lady in waiting to show you the said portrait.

You froze as you saw Jay's face on it. Putting the puzzle together, you finally understood how big of a mistake you had made, hand on your mouth as you stood there sadly.

Did he know you? Did he do it on purpose? Disappointment overtook you and yet you didn't want to blame him before knowing his side of the story, you couldn‘t understand why you felt this way, especially when you had met him only once before.

Maybe you were worried about this being a plan, or a betrayal, but the sincerity you saw in his eyes that day said otherwise.

You sighed, asking your lady in waiting to prepare a bath for you as you needed something which would help you relax.

Meanwhile at Nairid, Prince Jongseong had already seen your portrait a day before you saw his portrait. His heart was heavy, he never once considered you to be from Azira, for he was told that people from your kingdom were ones who are rude and boastful, and he had already made plans to make you his queen. He decided to confront you about this during the next ball, unsure if you would come or not.

Your mom figured out that the guy you met was Prince Jongseong due to your recent dull aura. As a queen and a mother, she called you over, holding you close and later, asking you to get over him before leaving, telling you how this relationship cannot ever be successful.

“He’s from a completely different world, Y/N, I’m sorry,” she said before letting you go and attend the ball which you had been waiting for, while also being nervous about it.

With a shaky breath, you got inside your carriage for the ball. You weren't sure if he would attend. Nor were you sure of what you'd say if you meet him there. Many princes had sent you proposals after the suitors' ball but you turned all of them down without second thoughts, only one man being in your heart.

Jongseong arrived on the day of the ball so you couldn't meet him before that. Your eyes searching for him since the day you had arrived, gulping when you didn‘t see him, relieved and sad at the same time, however, you had to control your emotions if you were to find him.

On the day of the ball, you took your sweet time in getting ready for the same, drawing everyone’s eyes again, face on display for the public to see as you bowed down slightly when the announcer announced your title to the ball.

He had spotted you instantly, learning your name and his eyes fixated on your figure, which this time wore a royal blue gown, your kingdom’s colour. While he wore emerald green, his own kingdom’s colour.

“Princess Y/N, can we talk for a moment?" He approached you almost instantly, gaining attention from others as they murmured about the two of you being together despite the differences in your kingdoms, but he maintained his composure.

You gulped and nodded, excusing yourself from the ladies you were talking to with a nervous smile, not looking into his eyes as you followed him silently.

You both reached the rose garden in a few minutes, “so, Prince Jongseong, I see you know me already,” you started, tone being accusatory.

“I learned about you a few days back when I was shown your portrait, I would not lead you on otherwise, princess,” he explained, sounding sorry.

Him being warned about you made you feel sad, but you had gone through the same thing, which made you realize how you can’t ever be with him.

“I learned about you quite recently as well, I'm disappointed that the circumstances turned out to be this way, Prince Jongseong, I cannot let my kingdom down,” you sighed, forming your sentences carefully.

“I'll take my leave early today, but before leaving, can I ask for something from you, princess?” It was so wrong and he knew it, but he would regret not doing this otherwise, his heart racing, blood rushing to his cheeks as he could not control his emotions anymore.

“What is it that you could want from me, prince?” You questioned, looking into his eyes which made your cheeks heat up.

“A kiss,” he breathed out and your eyes widened.

“I know it's wrong, princess, but I am certain to regret it if I don't kiss you,” he spoke softly.

For the first time in your lives, you both weren't thinking from your minds.

You were thinking from your hearts.

And so you nodded, allowing him to do so with a shaky breath, and soon his lips touched yours in a delicate kiss. That's how both of you lost your first kiss under the dim moonlight, heartbeats in sync with how your lips moved against each other, tingling with the feeling of being so close to each other.

As soon as the kiss broke, you turned away. Not feeling the need to stay at the ball anymore, Jay called out your name in desperation but you didn’t stop, tears forming in your eyes.

You had kissed a man you’d never be able to marry.

Reaching your chamber, you asked your guards and ladies in waiting to get ready to leave and before you knew it, you were returning back to Azira.

Little did you both know that the queen of Lavosta had seen your little escapade from her grand balcony's telescope. An idea formed in her mind to end the rivalry of both the kingdoms once and for all.

Two days after returning from the ball, Prince Jongseong was called to his father's chamber. His father, the king, had an unreadable expression resting on his face.

“Tell me, son. Why does Queen Taeyeon want you to get married to the princess of Azira?” He finally asked.

Jongseong's breath hitched, eyes widening at his father’s question.

“The queen sent a letter, it briefly mentioned that you were spotted with princess Y/N,” he explained. He wasn't disappointed, all the king wanted was for his son to be safe.

“I'm sorry, father,” Jongseong apologized in a whisper.

“It's not your fault son, the queen has ordered you to get married to princess Y/N without thinking how it will affect our kingdom,” he sighed, looking at his queen with a troubled couple expression.

“I will not marry her.” It hurt him to say this, but he wouldn't let the citizens suffer, also remembering how you ran away after he had kissed you, and maybe you wouldn‘t want to see him ever again.

While in your kingdom, you had gotten the same letter and your parents were worried, knowing how this could be harmful for you and your whole kingdom. So, you had decided the same thing, to say no to the proposal laid out by Queen Taeyeon.

Your brother looked at you with a sad face.

“I'm so sorry, Y/N,” your mom said, hugging you.

Now all that was left to decide was how to let the queen know that you had declined the proposal. It would affect your relationship with her kingdom.

You quietly sobbed in your chambers, wanting nothing more than to be with Prince Jongseong, calling yourself stupid for wanting to be so selfish.

A few days later, queen Taeyeon of Lavosta got both letters saying that both kingdoms had declined the proposal. She knew it wouldn't last long, and this would be the outcome.

“Queen,” a guard entered her chambers, bowing down to show respect to the most powerful queen among the three big kingdoms.

“We found out a spy, he revealed a few plans after we forced him to,” he said.

“What is it about?” she asked.

“They’re planning to attack Azira in a few days,” he informed.

Her guards informed her about the speculations of a foreign king planning to attack Azira, telling her about everything he knew and she took her time to plan ways to help her neighbouring kingdom.

She decided to make a profit out of it alongside, knowing exactly who would be willing to help your kingdom.

She got a letter delivered to Nairid for Prince Jongseong. All that was written in the said letter were the words: princess Y/N is in danger, reach to her with your soldiers as soon as you can.

The letter was successful in getting him restless. Even if he had opposed everything about your kingdom, he had fallen for you and he'd most certainly won't let anything happen to you.

So, he told his father, who hesitantly agreed to help him when he saw that the letter came from queen of Lavosta herself, he also knew that Jongseong was intelligent and wouldn't rush his decisions.

He trusted his son.

He sent Jongseong along with an army of guards to help your kingdom. He would have thought of the letter as a filthy prank had it not come directly from queen Taeyeon.

They set off for their journey to Azira as fast as it was possible, Prince Jongseong led the army with speed, riding his horse as his heart raced with the fear that he won‘t be able to see you if he’ll be late by even a second. A determined expression on his face, jaw clenched and eyes sharp.

While in Azira, everything was calm. Too calm to be normal. For a whole day, no one had visited the palace except for the royal family and their workers. The market was shut down and the town was empty, as if everyone knew that something terrible was going to happen.

A day passed by, Prince Jongseong traveled without stopping and was near your kingdom by the time the enemy had attacked, aiming directly for the palace as the others attacked the town. Soon, the whole army of guards were fighting against the enemy soldiers, you and Heeseung helped the guards as you had mastered using the swords and you insisted on helping.

The king and the queen were made sure to be in the safest place surrounded by the most skilled guards.

Yet, the enemies outnumbered your guards as they mercilessly killed people. You had a long scratch on your skilled hand which made it harder for you to keep up, your protective covering was damaged as well.

Soon, you heard a commotion outside the palace, you had no clue as to what it was till you spotted Jay with his soldiers. He had come to help you despite the unfavorable circumstances of your kingdoms. You didn’t get a chance to even smile at the sight before you had to grab your sword again and attack at the enemy coming close to you.

You were distracted, causing another injury on your shoulder blade, thankfully it wasn't enough to potentially injure to the point you would faint. Jay had spotted you, rushing right into the palace to find you and he ran over to you.

“Princess,” he said breathlessly, cupping your cheeks.

“Prince,” you replied, breathless as well, but this interaction was short-lived as you were attacked yet again.

Jay slashed the man in one go, mentally promising himself to not let anyone harm you, eyes dark as he saw your injuries. It went on for a few hours but yours and Jay's army outnumbered their soldiers, winning the war, he never once left your side.

Until Jay saw your father getting targeted by a man who somehow survived the war, he ran and covered your father, the king. The sword pierced right through him, making him go limp in a few seconds.

You let out a scream while Prince Heeseung killed the last man standing, ending the war finally, breathing hard.

Your father was stunned to see Jay giving himself out for him. You pressed your hand on his wound, applying pressure, crying and calling out for the royal medic to tend him. Soon, he was taken into the medic ward, leaving you out. All you could do was pray, pray for him to be fine and alive. Your father sent many medics all over the kingdom to tend to the others who were injured.

Lastly he sent a letter to Nairid, to the king, to let him know that Jay was injured. He wanted to end the war for all now. He would call truce as soon as the other king would arrive here. It had been hours, yet no response from the medics who were busy treating Jay.

You were taken back to your chamber despite your wailing and were made to freshen up, your eyes swollen, body covered in blood and heart breaking as you imagined how Jay would be, as soon as you entered the medic chamber, you saw Heeseung by Jay's limp body.

“He’s alive, just unconscious,” Prince Heeseung informed you and you thanked the gods, a tear sliding down your cheek.

“You should get married to him, you know?” Prince Heeseung said with a smile, approving the relationship.

“Only if he would want to,” you sadly said, not sure of what to expect, “he almost got killed saving us,” you sobbed, looking at him.

Prince Heeseung gave you a sad smile as your parents entered the chamber as well, their little injuries made you even sadder.

“Prince Jongseong, how can we thank him?” your father spoke, asking no one in particular, showing how grateful he's for Jongseong. Yet, he was sad to see him suffering because of him.

He laid there unconscious, still looking like an angel. A day passed by and you never once left his side. You softly kept muttering how thankful you were to him, wiping his face with a soft wet cloth.

“I think I like you, Prince Jongseong,” you whispered, thinking that he wouldn't hear, a feeling of warmth bloomed up in your body as you finally said it out loud.

As soon as you said that, the gates of the chamber opened, revealing Jongseong's father and mother. You bowed down, showing respect to the king and queen of Nairid.

You were quick to apologize for everything that had happened here and to their son, the queen keeping a hand on your shoulder to tell you that it was fine, and you were not at fault.

They made you feel welcome despite the long rivalry your kingdoms had.

They stayed by Jay, deeply worried and sad seeing their future king and son in this state, muttering how proud they are and how brave he is.

They further met your parents, who had come to the chamber as well. explaining the whole story to them, they called in truce even before your father could say a word.

They hugged each other, looking like they've been friends for their whole life and it gave you hope, hope of being with Jay.

They decided to stay at Azira till Jay woke up and soon you were alone with him again in the medic ward. You gently caressed his hair while staring into nothingness.

“So princess Y/N likes me,” suddenly a voice said, scaring you.

You saw that Jay was awake, your eyes widening, a big teasing smile on his face.

Without thinking anything, you hugged him with a shaky breath.

“Ouch!” He let out as his wound was still healing.

“Oh! I'm so sorry,” you said moving back, careful to not hurt him again, he let out a laugh and squeezed you into another hug, making you smile softly as you teared up again, butterflies rising in your stomach, and before you could do much, he was sent to freshen up by the medics, you sat there, waiting for him.

“Are you stupid? Why did you come here? You got injured, Jay–” your little rant ended as he put his hand on your mouth.

You had started complaining as soon as he returned after freshening up.

“Wow, no one has called me stupid before,” he said as if it was an achievement, caressing your cheek slightly, making your stomach tingle.

You sighed, shaking your head and hugged him again with a pout on your lips.

“I like you too princess. I came to ensure your safety. I still have to marry you, you know?” He spoke softly, hoping that you won't reject his proposal.

He wanted to marry you, the mere thought of it made you smile as you leaned back to look at him.

“You want to marry me?” You questioned, staring at him with big doe eyes.

“Only if you allow me to, princess,” he said with a smile, hoping you'd say yes.

“I can never say no to you, prince,” you truthfully said as he captured your lips to his, both of you smiling into the kiss as his hand rested on your waist, his eyes glistening while he looked at your face.

Needless to say, everyone was overjoyed with this news, well, it did take time for citizens of both the kingdoms but they did mend their relationships. And in the blink of an eye came the day of your engagement. Jay had ensured for your attires to look the same as the ones you wore at the masquerade ball, the day you first met, just with different colours.

He looked at you with such pure eyes, holding nothing but adoration for you and only you. After exchanging engagement rings, Jay whispered an “love you” near your ear, making your heart flutter. You subtly whispered “and I love you” back to him causing him to break out into a big smile.

Citizens were happy to see you both jovial together. Your brother kept sending you teasing smiles. Your parents were beaming, matching the smiles of Jay's parents. Lastly, Queen Taeyeon of Lavosta sat there with a proud smirk, she was glad to see you together. Afterall, she was the one to initiate this in the first place.

The ceremony was grand, your eyes going around the venue, trying to capture everything into your memory forever, the reception being even more grand as the royals from all neighbouring kingdoms had come to bless you two with their pure hearts.

“Princess,” Prince Jongseong whispered in your ear when no one was paying attention to you both, enjoying themselves.

“Yes?” You asked softly, a feeling of shyness covering your tone.

He looked at you with adoration, “the gods must really love me,” he spoke, “I prayed for you to be mine, and now, you are my princess,” he whispered.

With your palpitating heart and love filled eyes, you softly said, “I think god loves us both then.”

His eyes widened slightly once he heard you, and he had to use his whole willpower to stop himself from kissing you right then and there.

He couldn’t wait to have you alone with him.

Once the ceremonies were over, you looked over to your parents, saddened by the fact that you won't be living with them anymore.

Prince Jongseong took your hand and placed it on his arm gently, giving you a reassuring smile as you both made your way towards his chamber, your breathing was heavy as you tried not to think about how you would be sharing Prince Jongseong’s chamber with him from now onwards.

“You must be exhausted, princess. You should clean up first,” he suggested, extending his hand towards the door that separated the bathing area.

You were all alone, the water already warm, set perfectly to take bath by the maids who had come priorly to ensure that you both won’t be needing anything else later on.

However, you seemed to have trouble opening the knot of the corset you had worn, leaving you frustrated as you couldn’t ask for help from anyone else.

With heated cheeks, you called out for the prince.

Prince Jongseong hadn’t expected that you would call out for him, and so, he rushed into the bathing chambers to check whether you required any help.

“Yes, princess?” He asked, breathless once he looked at your hair, which were no longer in a bun, only the accessories still decorated them, his heartbeat rose at your next words.

“Could you please help me take this off?” You asked softly, brushing your hair away from your back to show him the knot.

He came closer, his warm fingers rested on your bare arm as the other one pulled on the string, loosening your corset until it was fully off. His warm breath fanned your neck, his deep voice taking your name in a soft whisper.

“Tell me to go, princess, or else I won’t be able to control myself,” he said, face red and eyes on your figure, which was just in a thin white slip.

You had never felt this way before, your knees felt weak and you did not wish for the price to leave.

“Don’t go,” you whispered out, turning to look at him, “please?”

“Come here,” he said, guiding you towards the royal bath tub.

You did not remove your slip as you walked down the stairs and into the warm water, goosebumps covering your skin at the pleasurable feeling.

You sat down with a low sigh leaving your lips, eyes opening to look at your prince, chest rising up and down once you saw him unbuttoning his blazer, taking off all his clothes.

With a gasp, you looked away, not wanting to invade his privacy and look at him. You were flustered, an indescribable feeling rose up in your lower abdomen.

He soon got into the water, coming close to you. You could see the scars from the battle on his perfectly sculpted body when you turned towards him, the water covering his stomach. His arms flexed when he extended them, calling you in to be in his arms.

Your steps were slow, and his eyes dropped down to see your wet white slip sticking to your body, revealing everything to him, causing him to groan and pull you closer by the waist.

“Do you have any clue how long I’ve wanted you all to myself?” He asked, his fingers on your chin making you look up to him and gulp.

He could have sworn you were the prettiest person he had ever laid his eyes on, your innocent and shy gaze made him go crazy.

“Can I kiss you?” He asked, “because if you say yes now, then I won’t be able to stop later.”

“Yes,” you breathed out.

In the span of a millisecond, he leaned forward and his lips were on yours. He tasted exactly like the cherry wine you had earlier, your hand on his chest keeping you stable before he deepened the kiss, titling your head so softly as his tongue tasted your mouth, humming and swirling his tongue around yours.

He leaned back for a second to look at your expression, he was mesmerized, thumb caressing your cheek before he made you both sit down, placing you on his lap, the water reaching your neck as you wrap your arms around his neck.

“I wanted you from the day I saw you, princess,” he whispered, kissing your jaw softly, holding your waist tighter.

“I’ve prayed so much to have you,” you confessed, breathing hard as you shifted on his lap, feeling his length between your thighs.

A soft sigh left your lips, his lips never leaving yours, his hands slowly moving up to touch and get familiar with every inch of your body.

He helped you get out of your slip, breath hitching as he took in your appearance, all wet and naked, breathing hard as you tried to get close to him. He wanted you.

Pulling you up, he did not waste a second before he touched your breasts, kissing and giving them all his attention. Your eyes closed shut at the sensation, soft whines leaving your lips as your hand rested on the back of his head.

“Want you,” you moaned.

“Let me know if it hurts,” he said, cupping your face, “look at me.”

He picked you up by your waist, positioning himself so that you’re just above his tip, your eyes never left his as you slowly sinked down on his cock, stretching your hole as you clenched around him, eyes closing as you felt it all.

He pulled you in a rushed kiss, slowly helping you move up and down, both of you breathing hard as you leaned your forehead against his, gripping on the hair on his nape, noses touching while you breathed the same air.

You leaned in, slowly kissing on his supple skin as you continued with your movements, his breathy groans sounding like melody to you.

His face had a look of euphoria, lower lip bitten when he pulled you in closer, moving his hips in sync with yours, the water felt warmer now, the area steamy and you could only focus on the man in front of you.

He dug his fingers deeper into your waist, helping you move up and down as your lips left noises of pleasure.

“I cannot believe you’re mine,” he breathed, stunned by your beauty and how dizzy it made him feel.

“I’ve always wanted to be yours,” you replied, eyes full of love as he held you closer when you clenched around him, thighs shaking and your high was near.

Jay couldn’t help but kiss your lips again, as if he was obsessed with them, obsessed with you.

Loud whines and deep groans filled the bathing area as you and him chased your high, him pulling you into his arms to calm down, tracing your spine and kissing your shoulder softly while you wrapped your arms around him and snuggled closer.

“I love you, princess,” he confessed, causing you to move back to look at him.

Tears filled your eyes with the amount of happiness that surged through you with his sentence.

“I love you too, prince,” you said, capturing his lips in a slow, sweet kiss.

And to end this royally, it was safe to say that they lived happily ever after.

Myla/Ny Benalcázar for @boomchicapopdat  and Prince Evander’s Ball

Age: 21

Kingdom: Dathae ; but is the eldest daughter of the Duke of the Winter Isles.

Actually her brother Ny (23) in disguise. (and therefore all answers & description henceforth will pertain to him)

more info below

Alignment: Untamed

Skills:  mischief (3), charisma (3), dancing (1), logic (1), and fitness (1).

Traits: loves the outdoors, ambitious, evil

The Winter Isles are the southern most duchy in all of Dathae. Located amidst  the numerous icebergs of the Winter Sea only the bravest of souls dares make the voyage. Instead the islanders are typically the ones to venture out into mainland markets to sell animal blubber and related goods- candles, oil, and the finest soaps the kingdom has seen. 

The Benalcázars are a relatively new family to the Winter Isles, the Baron Fayrd Benalcázar having only arrived from the mainland three generations prior. In a brief but bloody war, the Baron and his supporters managed to overthrow the ruling family with unknown magics and usurped the duchy for himself.

The current Duke and Duchess consider themselves gods among sims, and keep themselves and their four children ostracized in their castle on the bluffs, well away from any “common folk”. Nonetheless Lady Myla is a sweet girl, who spends her time painting, gardening, and listening to any records she’s able to get her hands on. Her parents want her to marry up in the world to secure their own titles, but Myla simply finds the Prince handsome and would give anything to attend a ball. But this isn’t really about her is it? 

So what can be said about Ny, Myla’s older brother? Following a squabble of unknown origins with the crown prince of Dathae and his sister, the princess, Ny’s family has quietly relieved him of his public duties as well as forbidding him from leaving the castle for the unforeseeable future. He is unsurprisingly displeased with this arrangement and would love to get the heck out of Dodge Dathae. He’d do anything to achieve his goals (see above where he bespelled his own sister & stole her identity *cry*) including attempting to seduce a prince (or princess) to gain the backing and power to seek revenge on those who have wronged him. When he’s not plotting revenge or generally being a terrible person he enjoys catching frogs only to leave them in his sisters’ dressing rooms and reading books/watching tv obviously to spoil them for others. Also, while he enjoys fresh fish and seafood (he comes from sea faring lands) Ny has a particular soft spot for baked goods, especially honey cake and will drop whatever he’s doing for a slice.

Private DL if chosen (ps I’d be happy to send either or both forms of Ny.)

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.

The Kingdom of Khudour has received Prince Evander’s invitation to Dornne’s royal ball. But will the invitation be accepted? (part 1 of 5)

@boomchicapopdat

[cookiesandcrumbs]

Greetings from Terradesmares, The Land Of Seven Seas! When we heard that the Prince Evander Xanadu of Dornne is looking for someone to attend the royal ball with and, potentially wed, the first and only person that came to mind was our beloved and illustrious queen, Jandira.

Our queen Jandira has the kindest of hearts and always put her people first. In fact, the motto of our land is “Aqueles Diante De Mim”, which means “Those Before Me”. She made a vow 20 years ago to protect the land she took her first steps on, the land she planted her garden in and the land of the seven seas.

Terradesmares might look like any land but it is far from it. Here is where any and all are welcome, to visit or stay, to take a load off in one of the worlds most famous Bed & Breakfast: Sete Mares Adoráveis, which means Seven Lovely Seas.

If you haven't caught on yet, our land is the land of seven seas. It’s part of us all and ingrained in every stone and corner of the center of our capital. That and, our magic. Oh have we not mention that yet? To outsiders we might look like any regular folks but many of us have powers. Powers of mischief or powers of practical magic. Jandira? Her powers are the kind called Untamed. She is skillful at what she does and it’s been said that her best party trick behind closed doors is the spell of Duplicato..

@boomchicapopdat lol hey girl hey ;)

Jandira, Queen of Terradesmares.

Age: 33 Pronoun: She/her Skill points: Mischief (1), Charisma (3) Dancing (2) Logic (2) Fitness (1) Favorite dish: the chicken tomato stew with rice her mother taught her, before she passed on. It’s now the national delicacy, served once a week at the BnB. Likes: her people, fancy clothing with comfortable shoes and smol bab animals. Dislikes: fish, that guy down the street who refuses to mow his lawn and being late. Alignment: Untamed. She is kind but forceful, leave no prisoner or man behind. Many a folks have said, her favorite and most adored trick is duplicato. It’s amazing the things that can go down behind closed doors and a few, magic tricks, up, the sleeves..

Prince Artemis Sagitaurus for @boomchicapopdat​ Prince Evander’s CYOS Challenge

The Prince of Silencia The young prince of Silencia is one of the most rebellious prince’s of his time. Competing for the crown with his older sister, Aurora, Artemis is known as a deeply mysterious character in his royal crest. His practices of Untamed Magic instead of his bloodline line of Practical Magic makes him seen as a strong asset to his country’s militia. He has a blunt attitude and loves to say what is on his mind. He can be quite manipulative in tricking others into doing as he asks. His heart is far from pure. Yet, that is due to his shallow upbringing. He is the kind to be the hero of a story but be a thief in disguise. His smile is a front and his scowl is the truth behind his brooding eyes.

A History on the Prince and his Kingdom The Kingdom of Silencia is known for their policies in insuring people born with the bloodlines of Practical Magic in leadership positions in politics, education and even the military. Of course, his mother, Queen Aquarius trusted her son to be the lead in the military as Head Commander if he lets his sister become queen in coming years. Artemis didn’t mind at the time because he loved his sister to death. In fact, in a chance to overthrow the government, Artemis took a wound to his back in order to protect her. No one truly knew why Artemis wanted his own family overthrown. He could only state, “The untamed is logical in handling the lesser people.” Historians who watch this family still do not know what he means. Raised by his mother and sister, Artemis was known as the black sheep. His purple right eye gives others the implication that he practices more magic than just Practical. Yet, the true story is that before the king’s death, the Queen had a quiet affair with someone in the court and mothered the shy prince. After Artemis’s birth, the king was dueled by said “other father”, now King Kai and quicly took the throne. Kai is known for his skill in Untamed Magic, a skill that was gossiped to be forgotten and denied in current Silencia. However, Untamed Magic is powerful within those who were born with it in Silencia. Practicing Untamed Magic by his father resulted in Artemis being one of the most elite officers in the army and in his handpicked militia, fighting warring countries and handling all treaties between Silencia and other kingdoms. The scar on his forehead was from a duel he was victorious in between a kingdom’s monarch that Silencia now governs.  He has a handful of friends, including his retainer, Tane. He was never courted with anyone because he chooses his “hunger for power” over anything. 

Why the Ball So, Artemis decided to attend this ball because he wanted to make alliances with different kingdoms. He believes that the more he befriends kingdoms, the better his country stands. He hates having enemies because he will kill them with a snap of a finger. However, knowing that other women will be there to engage in courtship, Artemis has no mind in mingling with other kingdoms. It will only improve of his chance of a strong power. He has attended many balls before and only dances with the most elite of royalty. He has learned from his mother that companionship is what makes a kingdom, not war. However, Artemis knows that if someone crosses his boundaries, he will probably start one. If anyone tries to play his intelligence, his familiar, Dionysus has no problem letting him know. 

Aspiration:  Purveyor of Potions

Traits: Loves Outside, Self - Assured, Child of the Islands Archetypes: Hero and Greedy

Likes: His spell book His best friend, Tane His sister and father His familiar, Dionysus Tarot cards and palm reading Courtship with other women (eye emoji)

Dislikes: Jealousy Wars with other countries Not being king yet Mischief magic Dancing alone

Skills: Charisma - 2 Dancing - 3 Logic - 3 Fitness - 1

40 ANECDOTES ARROGANTES SUR FLOYD MAYWEATHER, LE MEILLEUR DES BOXEURS

Le « Best Ever » dans toute sa splendeur…

1. Boxeur professionnel jusqu’en 1990 (28 victoires, 6 défaites, 1 nul, 18 KO), le père de Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., dealait en parallèle pour subvenir à ses besoins.

Un jour l’un de ses neveux qui lui aussi s’adonnait au trafic a débarqué chez lui pour lui pointer une arme dessus. Floyd Sr. a alors saisi son fils pour se servir de lui comme bouclier et se protéger la tête. Il s’est pris une balle dans la jambe.

2. Dans la famille Mayweather, la drogue était omniprésente. Outre son père, sa mère Deborah était également accro, tout comme que sa tante qui à trop échanger les seringues est décédée du sida.

3. Quand en 1993 son père a été condamné à cinq ans de prison pour possession et trafic de cocaïne, Floyd, 16 ans, s’est interdit de pleurer.

« Le voir comme ça m’a fait monter les larmes aux yeux, mais comme j’étais désormais l’homme de la maison, je me suis retenu. »

4. De sa cellule de prison, son père l’appelait pour l’avertir que s’il manquait ses entraînements et passait son temps à sortir, il finirait comme lui à vendre de la drogue.

5. Privé de son père, Floyd a été entraîné par son oncle Roger. Surnommé The Black Mamba, un ancien champion WBC chez les super-plumes – 59 victoires pour 79 combats, dont 4 défenses de son titre.

Plus encore que Floyd Senior, il est celui qui a façonné le style défensif si particulier de Floyd Junior.

6. Au tout début de sa carrière, Floyd Mayweather était d’ailleurs surnommé « Pretty Boy » du fait justement que son visage n’était que très peu marqué par les coups.

7. Floyd Mayweather a de son propre aveu beaucoup été influencé par Mike Tyson… mais pas pour ses qualités sur le ring.

« Mike Tyson est l’un de ceux qui m’a le plus motivé. Quand nous nous entraînions tous les deux dans la m��me salle, je le voyais arriver en Rolls-Royce, je le voyais porter une Rolex sertie de diamant… Je me disais que moi aussi je voulais avoir ce genre de choses. »

8. Au début des années 2000, Floyd Mayweather avait confié la gestion de ses intérêts J. Prince, le patron du label sudiste Rap-A-Lot Records. Le jour où Floyd a décidé de faire bande à part, Prince a exigé 600 000 dollars de compensation. Et histoire de bien se faire comprendre, il a envoyé lui rendre visite dans son gymnase une équipe armée de battes de baseball.

Si heureusement pour lui Floyd n’était pas présent sur les lieux, plusieurs membres de son staff se sont fait tabasser, dont son bras droit Leonard Ellerbe.

9. En 1998, Floyd Mayweather a gagné sa toute première ceinture mondiale en venant à bout de Genaro Hernandez. Treize ans plus tard, lorsqu’en 2011 ce dernier est décédé d’un cancer, Mayweather a tenu à payer de sa poche ses funérailles.

10. Invaincu chez les professionnels avec 50 victoires de rang, Floyd Mayweather a néanmoins connu la défaite à 19 ans lors de son avant-dernier combat chez les amateurs.

En lice lors des Jeux Olympiques d’Atlanta, en demi-finale il s’est incliné par décision face au bulgare Serafim Todorov, 27 ans (photo ci-dessous). Ce verdict avait toutefois été vivement critiqué, Todorov ayant lui-même reconnu qu’il n’était pas impossible que les juges aient été corrompus.

Battu en finale, Serafim Todorov a ensuite combattu professionnellement à six reprises avant de raccrocher les gants. Il vit aujourd’hui avec une pension de 435 dollars par mois.

11. Floyd Mayweather est à proprement parler devenu Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather quand le 5 mai 2007 il a battu à 24 ans le légendaire Oscar De La Hoya.

Ce combat a explosé les chiffres du pay-per-view avec 2,4 millions d’achats, détrônant haut la main le précédent record détenu par Evander Holyfield et Mike Tyson en 1997 (1,95 millions de ventes).

12. Pouvoir affronter De La Hoya n’a cependant pas été sans embuches pour Mayweather qui pour se faire a dû au préalable débourser 750 000 dollars pour se séparer de son promoteur Bob Arum qui lui refusait le droit de choisir son adversaire.

Si les deux hommes ont ensuite entretenu une réelle animosité, Arum a fini par reconnaître ses torts : « Ce qui me séparait de Floyd c’était l’âge. Ce que Floyd avait compris, et ce que j’ai compris bien plus tard, c’est qu’il fallait connecter avec la génération hip hop. Je ne faisais pas ce que Floyd me demandait tout simplement parce que je ne savais pas comment le faire. »

13. À compter de cette rupture, Mayweather va commencer à mettre en scène son personnage de boxeur arrogant et matérialiste, notamment via la série 24/7 sur HBO qui mélange documentaire et télé réalité.

Très à l’aise dans son rôle de grand méchant dont les détracteurs payent pour espérer le voir perdre, il électrise les foules avec ses séquences d’entraînement aux airs d’hymnes à la motivation, ses engueulades avec son père et ses coups de téléphone à 50 Cent.

14. Intéressé un temps par la musique, Floyd Mayweather a lancé en 2008 son propre label Philthy Rich. S’il n’a à l’époque signé qu’un seul rappeur, un dénommé Freck Billionaire, en 2017 il a tenté de relancer l’aventure en présentant un tout nouveau roster (Lil Jamez, DJ Jay Bling, la chanteuse Sunny Malouf…), sans pour autant connaitre plus de succès.

15. En tant que « rappeur », Money a enregistré un en 2007 le morceau Yep, puis a featé en 2009 avec Ludacris sur Undisputed – il délivre un motivationnal speech au refrain et apparaît dans le clip.

16. C’est peu dire que Floyd Mayweather entretient une relation volcanique avec son père.

Après l’avoir repris comme entraîneur et manager à sa sortie de prison, en 2000 Floyd Jr. l’a viré une première fois pour le remplacer par son frère Roger – avec qui il est en froid depuis toujours.

Quand ce dernier a en 2006 été banni des rings pour avoir frappé un adversaire de Floyd à la fin d’un combat, puis incarcéré pour violence conjugale et trafic dedrogue dans la foulée, Floyd Sr. (qui entretemps a notamment entraîné Oscar De La Hoya de 2001 à 2006 et qui a manqué de peu de l’entraîner en 2007 contre son fils) a rempilé à ses côtés… avant d’être à nouveau remplacé par son frère quelque temps après.

En 2013 Floyd Sr. a toutefois fini par remplacé définitivement Roger, pour cause de problèmes de vue de plus en plus persistants.

17. Acharné travail, Floyd Mayweather prétend pourtant ne jamais regarder les combats de ses adversaires avant de monter sur le ring, et ce, afin de ne pas perturber ses entraînements.

Apparemment son oncle Roger prend quand même le temps d’étudier leurs combats, puis conseille Floyd sur la stratégie qu’il serait préférable d’adopter.

18. Entre les cordes, Mayweather met un point d’honneur à ne jamais se mettre en colère et ce afin de ne pas altérer son jugement.

« Lorsque vous combattez énervé, vous commettez beaucoup d’erreurs. Et lorsque vous combattez un boxeur aussi rusé et affûté que moi, vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre de commettre des erreurs. »

19. Pas plus qu’il ne boit la moindre goutte d’alcool (quand bien même il commande des bouteilles en veux-tu en voilà en club pour son entourage), Mayweather ne fume le moindre joint. Il va même jusqu’à éviter d’être en présence de fumeurs pour ne pas prendre le risque d’être contrôler positif aux tests anti-dopage.

20. Parmi tous les adversaires qui se sont mesurés à lui, celui qu’il considère comme le plus dur n’est étonnamment ni un champion du monde (Mosley, Pacquiao, Cotto…), ni un boxeur invaincu avant lui (Ricky Hatton, Canelo…), ni même José Luis Castillo qui en 2002 n’est pas passé loin de lui faire mordre la poussière.

Non le boxeur qui lui a donné le plus de fil à retordre est étonnamment Emmanuel Augustus, alias The Drunken Master, qu’il a affronté en 2000.

« De tous ce n’est clairement pas lui qui avait le meilleur palmarès, il n’a jamais été sacré champion du monde, mais après lui j’ai dû me prendre une longue période de repos. »

21. En 2007, Floyd Mayweather a participé au télé crochet Danse avec les stars, quand bien même il préparait en parallèle son combat son combat face à Oscar De La Hoya. En duo avec la danseuse professionnelle Karina Smirnoff il s’est classé neuvième de la compétition – pour le voir danser le cha-cha-cha en talonnettes c’est ici.

22. Partout il va, jamais il ne se déplace sans un sac rempli d’au moins 60 000 dollars en cash.

23. Connu pour parier de grosses sommes sur des évènements sportifs (1 million sur les New England Patriots en 2011, 5,9 millions sur les Miami Heats en 2013…) et poster ensuite ses gains sur les réseaux sociaux (mais jamais ses pertes), lors des heures qui précèdent ses combats Floyd Mayweather passe généralement son temps à parier sur les matchs du jour.

24. Il lui est parfois arrivé de venir à l’entraînement avec dix Rolls Royce en même temps : une pour transporter ses gants, une pour transporter ses bandes, une pour transporter sa meuf, etc.

25. À l’occasion de son « combat du siècle » contre Manny Pacquiao, il avait engagé un chef personnel qu’il rémunérait mille dollars l’assiette.

26. À ceux qui lui reprochaient de ne boxer que pour l’argent, Floyd Mayweather a un jour rétorqué qu’avant de toucher son premier chèque il lui a fallu « combattre 90 fois en amateur gratuitement ».

27. Quand Floyd se pointe dans un restaurant, il commande inlassablement un verre d’eau chaude pour y faire tremper ses couverts. Pourquoi ? Lui seul le sait.

28. Traumatisé par le crash dans lequel a péri Aaliyah causé par le surpoids de l’appareil, Floyd Mayweather tient pour sa sécurité à voyager seul dans son jet privé, quitte à devoir faire voyager à ses frais toute sa Money Team dans un autre avion.

29. Floyd Mayweather a plusieurs fois été arrêté pour avoir levé la main sur ses compagnes.

En 2002 et 2004 il a été condamné à de la prison avec sursis, avant d’être incarcéré 90 jours en 2011 après avoir frappé la mère de trois de ses enfants devant deux d’entre eux.

30. Fiancé en 2013 à Shantel Jackson aujourd’hui en couple avec Nelly, le couple s’est séparé l’année suivante. Ayant plutôt mal pris la chose, Mayweather alors posté sur Instagram une échographie de Jackson avant qu’elle n’avorte de leurs jumeaux, puis plusieurs photos d’elle avant les opérations de chirurgie esthétique payées par ses soins.

31. À celles qui souhaitent postuler pour travailler comme garde du corps de Floyd Mayweather, voici le descriptif du poste : « Homme de très forte carrure, doté d’une patience à toute épreuve, disponible 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7, 365 jours par an, en mesure de protéger à tout moment et qui ne parle que quand la parole lui est adressée. Avantages : places premium aux évènements sportifs, billets d’avion en première classe, montres en diamant données au hasard et grosses liasses de billets offertes régulièrement. »

32. Ses quatre du corps Big Church, Big A, Big Pat et Jethro mesuraient au total plus de 8 mètres et pesaient plus de 650 kilos !

33. En 2014, Floyd Mayweather a remplacé sa team de molosses suite à son embrouille avec T.I.

En bisbilles avec le rappeur qui l’accusait de trop tourner autour de sa femme, Mayweather avait eu la surprise se retrouver nez-à-nez avec lui dans un fast food de Las Vegas. Apparemment désireux d’en découdre, le boxeur lui aurait alors rétorqué qu’il devait surement avoir oublié ce qu’il faisait comme métier pour lui parler de la sorte. Réponse de T.I. : « Toi tu le fais sur un ring, moi je le fais dans la rue. »

De là les chaises ont volé dans tous les sens sans que l’on ne sache très bien ce qui s’est vraiment passé, à ceci près que Mayweather a déclaré que T.I. a tiré « une drôle de tête ».

34. En cas de problème imminent, Floyd utilise la phrase code « Form Voltron » pour activer ses gardes du corps.

En 2017 lors d’une conférence de presse commune avec Conor McGregor, Money s’est amusé à prononcer ces mots pour faire encercler son rival.

35. Vainqueur contre McGregor par KO technique au dixième round, Floyd Mayweather était tellement confiant en sa victoire face à l’irlandais qu’il ne s’est quasiment pas entraîné et qu’il avait prévu de longue date d’aller jouer le lendemain un match de basket au profit d’une association caritative.

36. Régulièrement moqué par 50 Cent pour son illettrisme, Floyd Mayweather ne semble par outre mesure dérangé par les piques de son ancien camarade.

« Lire n’est pas ce qui détermine ma place dans l’histoire de la boxe. Est-ce que dieu va me refuser le paradis si je ne lis pas commme un présentateur télé ? En vrai je serais le meilleur lecteur du monde si lire me faisait vivre et nourrissait ma famille. »

37. Ses dix derniers combats lui ont rapporté un total de 915 millions de dollars. Lors de ces combats il a frappé ses adversaires à 1 833 reprises. Une rapide règle de trois nous renseigne donc qu’il a touché 500 000 dollars par coup de poing !

38. Aussi incroyable que cal puisse paraître, sur cette période Floyd Mayweather a gagné plus d’argent que tous les combattants UFC réunis !

Outre sa notoriété, ce chiffre assourdissant s’explique aussi par le fait que ces derniers étant liés à une fédération unique, ils ne peuvent pas faire monter les enchères aussi haut que les gros noms du noble art.

39. Reverra-ton jamais Floyd Mayweather aujourd’hui 43 ans sur un ring de boxe professionnel ?

Voici sa réponse : « À 100% c’ est non. C’est hors de question. Je fais de l’argent, ce n’est pas l’argent qui me fait. Et ma santé m’importe plus que l’argent. »

Bon attention, il n’a en revanche rien contre remettre ça en exhibition : « Si la question est de savoir si dans le futur je compte affronter des gars du MMA entre les cordes ? Absolument ! »

Quelque chose nous dit que son combat exhibition annoncé pour février contre le youtubeur Logan Paul ne devrait donc pas être son dernier…

40. En toute modestie, Floyd Mayweather se considère meilleur que Muhammad Ali. Explication.

« Si on parle d’héritage, Ali est de loin le plus grand. Mais si on parle du palmarès et du déroulement de carrière, c’est Floyd Mayweather. »

« Personne ne peut me faire croire qu’Ali était meilleur que moi. Personne. Bien évidemment sans lui je ne serais pas où j’en suis, mais il a perdu ses titres contre Leon Spinks qui avait seulement sept combats à son actif. Ce genre de trucs n’est jamais arrivé à Floyd Mayweather. »

Et de conclure en remettant en cause son style de boxe élaboré dans la seconde partie de sa carrière : « N’allez pas me dire que c’est cool de rester dans les cordes et de se prendre une dérouillée jusqu’à que l’autre se fatigue pour ensuite le finir en quelques coups ? Vous trouvez que ça mérite d’être porté aux nues ? »

Ch 1 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.”

Challenge #1

Alternately Titled: Nut a Fairytale

“See you when I see you, your highness.” were the last words I spoke to the Prince before he made his decision on who he was going to eliminate. The prince was polite yet held that charismatic air I anticipated him to have, still I felt like there was something he was holding back while we spoke.

In the end, there were 12 girls that were asked to leave the palace, leaving 23 of us left in the running. I wondered what the other girls had done to make Dominic want to send them off away so quick. Surveying through the faces of the girls, a few were surprising departures, most especially Seraphine, a bitch squad member. What did they do wrong, and how do I avoid becoming like them? I searched for something in their faces to caution me, but there was nothing much they were giving away. I pushed those thoughts aside for another time to focus on enjoying surviving the first round of eliminations. However, there was not much time to think about that for the next few days.

Right after our first interviews with Dominic, we were thrown right into lion’s den when the welcome ball was announced. Aside from daily lessons about etiquette, diplomacy, and history, we were placed in a crash course dance class that lasted for an hour everyday in preparation of the welcome ball for all the Selected. If that wasn’t enough, we were expected to be ready for our first appearance on the Report as Prince Dominic’s Selected.

The Report went well on my part, having a mini reunion with Hyacinth Pierce. It was probably my third time on the Report with the host, and I definitely had enjoyed my time during the show. There was a certain easiness to Hyacinth that had placed me at ease. She was careful not to go too detailed into my family’s past, which I was thankful for.

Once the Report was out of my list of concerns, I only had the welcome ball to take into consideration. Since the ball was announced, I had been working closely with my maids in creating a dress for the occasion. My experience with huge parties, galas, and balls seemed to have benefited me quite well in choosing what I had wanted to wear. When I was much younger, I always had leaned towards the softer looking dresses: girlier, sweeter, what a teenager would wear. However, through the years, my style had developed into something more edgy. It took me going through a few online articles about a few designer collections, but when I saw a picture of a texture of a certain dress, I knew that was the piece I’d be proud to be in during the ball. I asked my maids to start getting to work on it right away.

When girls think about going to a ball, they seem to instantly think about appearing in a gorgeous floor length gown. Poofy, tulle, volume. Pastels. Something that elevates a girl into a fairytale, and it wasn’t in any of my interest to appear like that. What made me giddy with joy was seeing myself stand in front of my mirror in the dress I chose. I felt so sure of myself in the work of art my maids had created for me. It looked like a floor length halter dress, but my maids had outdone themselves with actually making the dress look like a net with tiny cut outs literally everywhere. It was mainly white, but there were strips of blue fabric the helped cover me up. It had a few large cut outs on the side too, but there was still an element of class even with all the skin I was showing.

The dress was pretty dramatic on its own, so I opted to wear my usual neutral make up. Nothing too dramatic, just something to highlight my features and make my skin glow, and topping it all off, I had my hair slicked back into a ponytail. Once I felt like I was ready for the ball, I immediately made my way out to the grand ballroom. Well, no.. Actually the first thing I actually did was take a selfie for my snapchat and instagram. I didn’t want to mess up my daily streak of posting about the Selection on any of my main social media accounts.

The planner had warned us ahead of the media coverage this ball would have had but that didn’t stop my surprise with how great the media was in numbers. I found myself blinded by all the flashes of photography that ambushed me the moment I got close to the ballroom. There were photographers lined up on a small red carpet to take pictures of all the guests. My instincts had kicked in and I placed a hand on my hip and smiled at the people who were yelling my name. I smiled, I waved, I posed. Once I felt like I had worked those cameras long enough, I had finally joined the party.

When I entered the ballroom, I immediately felt the gazes of the people around me. I surveyed the room and saw a mixture of expressions. The most common one was shock, a reaction I had expected what with how revealing my dress probably looked at first glance. I placed a small smile on my face, just to add that little extra confidence I needed to wear with this dress. My eyes searched for the familiar faces of my fellow Selected, and I was ecstatic to see a few of my friends from the Bitch Squad enjoying themselves by a table. We had spent a few moments together, getting our pictures taken before we went our separate ways. I chose to remain seated, watching everything going by.

Joy. It was this bright joy that kept the mood light in this party. It looked like everyone was having an amazing time with the ball, it was probably most of their first times attending one. I wish I felt that too, but when you plan and attend enough balls, you’ve attended them all. Still, it kept me entertained to watch how everybody else was enjoying their night.

A part of my heart leaped when I saw Kat talking to Prince Evander. I had gotten pretty close with Kat for the past few days, and I had gotten to talk to her about the rumors that surrounded her and Evander and a first date before Kat even got to meet Prince Dominic. It was definitely not a surprise for me to see them talking to each other. There were these little signs that Kat displayed while she had talked to the Prince. The body language of how they both leaned towards each other, the way they looked like they weren’t playing some kind of character of themselves. I found myself getting more and more excited to see the future of Katvan (a collective name the Bitch Squad had coined to refer to Kat and Evander).

There were more little things I got to observe as I sat there too, the air of bitchiness Princess Lillian carried with her, the small glances that Prince Perseus had taken in the directions of both Charlotte and Aricia, and most especially all the girls that were coming up and talking to Dominic. I watched the girls coming and going as they spoke to the prince. Some of them seemed nervous speaking to him, a few with coy smiles and light touches, and a few seemed to have genuinely enjoyed just speaking to Dominic- no games, no mask, just talking.

I had to hand it to Dominic. With all the different approaches the girls had taken to him, he always seemed to have adapted well. I couldn’t hear any of the conversations from across the room, but I had eyes and body language was all I needed to tell how he was handling things. I could have told that he was flirting with a girl when his smile tilted more to the right. There were little things in his mannerisms I noticed, and the more I watched him interacting with everyone else, the more I wanted to get his attention.

But how does a girl get a prince’s attention during a Royal Ball? They don’t teach this stuff in boarding school. You couldn’t exactly turn to the fairy tales for any advice on that matter either. Cinderella got her prince’s attention when she had to leave the ball early. Sleeping Beauty had to fall asleep for a century before she got her prince. Snow White had to eat a poisoned fruit for God’s sake. It was all so impractical.

I grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter’s tray and continued trying to figure out how I was going to get his attention. It was all so easy before. It was never me who had made the first move, it was the guy’s. All I had to do was smile at some guy’s direction and once he approached me, I knew that I had succeeded with finding that night’s fling. Come to think of it, it only really worked with having short term relationships. It was a mistake to always start off my relationships as physical. I liked the way they looked first, and that was probably why I never dated someone longer than for a month.

Now that I was in the Selection, I actually wanted to win this thing- but not without having any actual feelings. I wanted to spare myself from a loveless marriage like the one my parents had. I wanted something real, and if I didn’t approach the Prince- I’d never find out. Just do it. I found my chance to talk to the prince when I saw him standing on the edges of the ballroom.

Taking one very large sip of liquid courage, I stood from the table and walked towards the Prince.

“So Prince Dominic, seen anything that caught your attention?” I settled on standing beside him as I started off the conversation.

Dominic lifted his eyebrow, “You mean of the Selected?”

Of course he was thinking about the girls first, he was surrounded by two dozens girls vying for his attention. If he wanted to talk about us, well, it was no problem with me.

“Well, I was thinking of something along the lines of the ball right now, but sure, the Selected would work too.” I replied, taking a glance at the rest of the room.

“Don’t know yet,” he shrugged but his eyes met mine for a second before looking at something else. “There are a few standing out though.”

So there already were a few of us lingering in the Prince’s interests. Polls had been popping up between different magazines that covered the Selection. Some had predicted the favorites of the Selection, and Dominic’s possible favorites. I didn’t want to give myself some false hope, but I had read a few sources that said that I had been one of his favorites even before we arrived in the palace and have been for a while. Wanting to see if there was any merit to those sources, I tried asking if I was in his interests with my own (hopefully) funny joke.

“I guess I should have gone and stood outside then.” I laughed, finding my joke pretty funny and hoping that it would work. The prince shifted where he stood a little.

“Would you prefer to go outside?” Fuck, did he not get the joke?

“Maybe I could join you, there are some…” he paused, “more secluded areas we could go to.” 

His voice carried a little more persuasion in it, a little more honey. I raised an eyebrow and looked him straight in the eye to see if he was serious. He looked like he was and for a second I wanted to take him up on his offer right there. There was nothing more attractive than a man in power in a tuxedo, and boy, he looked so dapper with how that piece had clung to him- fuck he was hot. A chill shot straight through me just imagining what would have happened if I did say yes, but I remembered that I had learned my lesson. I was not going to start this off as a physical relationship.

“Ahhh, there’s that flirty side I’ve been hearing so much about. Smooth, Prince Dominic.” Most of the other Selected had described the Prince as flirtatious in the first Report, and it was a surprise to me since I hadn’t seen that side of him until now.

“As much as I’d love to go exploring more secluded areas with you,” It was true, a voice inside of me was yelling at me to just say yes. “I’d like to stay and enjoy the ball a little more.” I felt so bad on rejecting the offer, “It’s been a while since I’ve witnessed a scene like this.”

Disappointment flickered in Dominic’s expression, “That’s too bad,” I know, “These balls are all the same anyway, I’m sure you haven’t missed much.”

“I’ll take a rain check with your offer. You’re right with all these balls being the same though. It’s like they don’t have any other kind of music or it’s always the same people attending.”

“Exactly. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.” Glad that he had shared my sentiments. “So you don’t need really need to see more of this one, do you?” His face looked like he was going to win this mini-argument. He was persistent, and I felt tempted again to just say yes for the second time again.

“I’m not gonna lie, you make a convincing argument, your highness.” I chuckled trying to shake off the need I felt to get out of that ball with the prince. But I reminded myself that if I wanted to spare myself, I needed to have some control on my part. So I tried redirecting his attention back to himself. “I bet you’ve tried convincing some of the other girls too.”

“Tried? I’d say I’ve succeeded but I haven’t aimed my targets for today yet,” So there have been girls that he’s already fucked? Well they made fast work with him since we’ve been here for only a couple of days. My attention was brought back from my thoughts when he continued to speak.

“I’ve only been making plans for the future. So what about you? Would you say yes to, say tomorrow? Or some day soon after that?” He leaned a little more towards me, being more playful with his tone. I felt my heart beating a little faster as I tried to formulate an answer on my lips. My cheeks were heating up, and my throat suddenly felt so dry. Why did he have to be so attractive???

“You’ve succeeded with me,” I laughed trying to hide how flustered I felt. “How considerate of you, giving a girl some options.” I needed to direct this conversation. Two could play at this game. I leaned towards him a little more, placing my hand lightly on his arm.

“Hmmm, how about we go out of the palace soon? Go out on your motorcyle, have a nice dinner, have a few drinks.” I wanted to explore Angeles again, the city must have changed so much since I had left. Adding a little more playfulness on my part, I promised a little drinking. Who wouldn’t have fun drinking?

Dominic’s eyes lit up, “Sounds great.” he smirked.

Yes! I got a date with him! Ayyyy, got a a date with the Prince!! I hid my excitement, under a smile. I saw a waiter with a tray of food passing by, and I grabbed a dessert while talking.

“I look forward to it. The palace is amazing, but I’ve been wanting to see Angeles again.”

“Yeah, the city’s pretty great at night.”

I nodded as I bit into the dessert. “Yeah, I remember. So what else does a prince like you do in this city?” The planner in me began making up plans of where we could go together, there were a few of my favorite restaurants in the city like an outdoor one with an amazing view of the city underneath. But I also thought about Dominic having any favorites in the city too. He’s lived here longer than I have been.

“I mean, I don’t spend a lot of time outside of the palace… just when I can sneak away.”

“I understand that. I used to sneak out to the city before.”I coughed. What he said had resounded with me, I felt trapped by my parents back when I was so much younger.

He leaned back on the wall, “Yeah well… it sucks when there are too many… rules and things you’re supposed to follow.” I almost forgot that the boy I was talking to had so much weight on his shoulders, he was the next king of this country. He had to have all these rules.

“Tell me about it,” I felt my throat tightening up as I coughed again.

“Are you okay?” He shifts.

“Oh yeah, just a coughing fit.” I tried reassuring him. I’m getting a sickening feeling as I begin to cough more frequently.

“Are you sure?” he places a hand on my shoulder, and I feel like my chest was tightening.

“Uh, is there any nuts or chocolate in this?” I hold up the dessert I just bit into, suspicious that that was the cause of all this.

“Yeah that thing is almost, entirely chocolate.” FUCK. I haven’t anything that had chocolate since I was a kid for many good reasons why. The best reason was because I suffered a severe allergic reaction that lead to anaphylactic shock.

“Okay, “ I cough, “Fuck, I can’t breathe- Oh shit, I’m not supposed to swear around you!” I feel so mortified swearing around the prince, holy fucking shit, that was the first thing they told us not to do! But my head starts to feel more light, and the room’s closing in around me.

Dominic places an arm on my back, steadying me. “I don’t think that’s your biggest problem right now. Do you need to go to the hospital wing?”

“Right yeah. Priorities,” I cough again. “I’m gonna need an epipen.” I try to take a deep breath, but it’s getting harder and harder to do so. “Shit, I can’t breathe.”

“What do you need me to do?” He looks panicked, unsure of what to do with what was happening with me.

“Help me get to the hospital wing? Don’t know where it is…” I’m finding it harder to even say a sentence, and I know that I needed to get some medication before I got worse, thinking about the first time I had eaten chocolate and how badly my throat had swollen up when I was three.

“Right. Yeah, follow me.” He’s still placing a hand on my back to keep me steady as we both start winding through the huge crowd of people attending the ball.

“Thanks,” I breathe out. Holy hell, how did I miss that dessert being chocolate? I feel so stupid having to leave the ball so early because of this. Everyone must be seeing how the prince and I were leaving together, well shit. Hope they a good luck at us while they’re at it. I’m trying to keep up with Prince Dominic through the halls, but it’s so difficult to get any air in me.

I try to take in short breaths as we’re rushing through. I’m thanking God that I didn’t chose to wear the platform heels I had originally considered. I look at Dominic and he has this expression of worry on his face. At least he’s decent enough to actually worry about me, and I’m at least thankful that I got to spend a few adrenaline fueled moments with him. A voice inside my head snorts thinking about how I had resembled snow white eating a poisoned apple. Well, I guess I had taken the Snow White approach on this prince.

We finally make it to what seems to be the hospital wing and we burst through the doors. “Hello! Lady Evadne needs help!” he yells through the wing with such a sense of urgency. I’m holding onto Dominic, the only thing keeping me standing. As soon as we arrive, nurses ran towards the two of us, one nurse bringing a wheelchair.

I immediately got on it, my legs feeling so tired of holding me up and running. “Someone just get me one of those damn pens you stab people with!” I yell between pants. I could barely breathe, and the whole room was spinning around me. A nurse wheels me towards one of the beds, and I close my eyes just for a second to prevent myself from passing out. I feel a sharp pain on my left shoulder, and I can tell that they’ve injected me with something.

“So… do you need any more help here?” I open my eyes to see Dominic standing beside me. “I’m not actually supposed to leave the ball…”

“No, I shouldn’t be keeping you away from everyone right now.” I take another breath. I wanted him to stay, I didn’t want to be left alone, I actually wanted to get to know him a little better after all of this. But it wasn’t right either, to ask him to stay. Who was I to demand him to stay?

“Maybe I will next time, we’ll see,” I chuckle, joking about out his earlier suggestion.

“Ok… I hope you feel better…” he says as I watch him walk out of the hospital wing. There will be other times, I tell myself. Now’s just not the right one.

“Thanks, Prince Dominic.” I call out as I get helped onto a bed. A nurse helps take off my heels, and one encourages me to lay back as she puts an oxygen mask around my face. A person in scrubs approaches me then.

“Good evening Lady Evadne, I’m Dr. Gauge. Your file says that you have a severe chocolate allergy, is this what caused this reaction?” he asks, looking at me.

I nod in reply.

“Okay then, since you’ve already been administered with epinephrine, we’re also going to be administering some anti-allergen medication through an IV. Would that be okay with you?”

“Yes, but are you keeping me here?” I ask, as I see a nurse bringing an IV needle.

“It’s likely we will. We need to see if your system wouldn’t have any other reactions that would endanger your life.”

“Alright, then please call one of my maids to bring me some comfortable clothes.” I say as a nurse warns me about placing the IV through my skin. There’s a sharp pain that makes me cringe with having that needle under my skin. A nurse injects an anti-allergen into my IV, and all I do after that is lay back and think about what happened. She told me that drowsiness was a common side effect of the medication.

Some night it turned out to be. It actually was pretty enjoyable, getting to hang out with a lot of the girls and having the chance to make dinner plans with the prince, running through the palace halls as I had a bad allergic reaction. I guess I could call it a day.

After a few minutes of just laying back on that bed, I hear the voice of my head maid, Veronica, asking if I was okay. She helps me change into one of my pajamas, and hands me a make up wipe to clean my face. After changing into more comfortable clothes, I reach out for my phone and check my social media account one last time, and taking one last update for my story on snapchat before succumbing to the effects of the medication.

A/N: Thank you so much for @domschreave for RP-ing with me and special shout out to @ladykatdempsey and @isabellafaulkner for giving me some of the things Vad mentioned in this chapter. Sorry that it seems a little shorter than my usual length, I’ve been a little busy with school and stuff.

I am full to bursting with rambles about the romances in my own stories so congrats Tumblr, you are now my writing dump box.

I will babble a lot.

Adventures of the Sea Siren: High fantasy, sea-faring adventures.

Fen/Maeve-- Main couple.  Captain Farrell “Fen” Armant is a newly reformed ne’er-do-well pirate.  Lady Maeve Endeleva, noblewoman of the Tarshaani court, was the one to convince the Calif to pardon him, moved by some strange pity.  He does not make that decision easy for her early in the story, being kind of a pain in the ass and slipping back into old habits.  They clash a lot initially but eventually come to have a friendship that blossoms slowly into love.  Married at end of the series.

Fisrock/Tabitha-- I think they were supposed to be my already together stable happy married couple, lol.

Evander/Cappy-- Junior member of the crew and apprentice mage Lady Maeve picks up later on their adventures.  They crush on each other.  It is cute.

Allemant/Rura-- Teased.  Ship’s scientist/inventor guy and a Mysterious Waif they found frozen in ice.  I suppose the appeal would mostly be Allemant’s utter science nerdy glee in figuring out how she worked (she’s not exactly human).

Relligon/Aisha and Relligon/Nashiko-- Teased.  Loyal bodyguard of Lady Maeve’s with either another member of the crew or a local girl they picked up with Rura.  Don’t think I had anything major planned with them, maybe just little teases here and there for both of them.

Venderick/Rowena-- Villain couple.  Hella unhealthy in the end but they seem genuinely enamored of each other at first.  It does not end well.

Artelia: Queen of Eevalond: High fantasy, kickass single mom queen rules a country and fights evil ‘n stuff.

Haegan/Artelia-- Loyal soldier/guard and the queen herself.  Artelia did genuinely love her husband and misses him terribly but has been rather lonely since he passed.  Haegan is always there and caring and supportive and has been nursing an affection for her for a while now.  The UST is real.

The DM Can’t Roll For This: Comedy.  Local D&D-type chapter finds their real life problems seeping into their campaign.

Kenji/Helena-- Main girl and dorky sword nerd newbie.  Helena awkwards all around him and he’s mostly either oblivious or hilaritized.

Bruce/Rika-- Married couple that games together.  They play as two tanks with Belligerent Sexual Tension.  IRL they are adorably smoopy.

J.C./Casey-- Perpetually shy Shrinking Violet and oversensitive drama queen.  She eventually develops the spine needed to ask him out.

Eternal Skies: Sci-Fi/Steampunk, advanced city is isolated out in the middle of a seemingly endless ocean.

Levi/Aya-- Loyal bodyguard and the Empress of the city.  The idea for the story first came out of a dream but frustrations with the outrageous injustice that was Aldnoah.Zero’s Slaine/Asseylum not being a thing reignited my deep and burning thirst for Bodyguard Crush ships so I revisited this idea and that kind of relationship dynamic fit right in with them, lol.  Levi’s family tried to leave the city once, caught themselves in a storm, they drowned, the then-princess Ayalin saved him.  He is hopelessly devoted to her and constantly worries about her safety.  As well he should, given that Aya is sometimes reckless and prone to battling bouts of crippling depression.  He doesn’t know it, but she’s loved him nearly as long as he’s loved her because he, in her own words, was “the first person who made me want to live”.

Jobei/Hiriko-- Teased.  Jobei lucks into the airship guard via a chance meeting with Aya, and Hiriko sort of becomes his trainer.  She’s intense and scary and very intimidating sometimes but he kinda likes her.  She comes to be kind of fond of him too, though she’d never admit it.  I still don’t know if I wanna make it canon or leave it up in the air yet.

Four Seasons Warriors: Magical Girl type series, themed around the four seasons.  (Duh.)

Sean/Soldad-- Stable couple that gets together early on.  Sean is in theater.  For some reason I always read his dialogue in a British accent, I should do something with that.  Soldad is bubbly cheerleader type.  They are full of playful banter and when she eventually confesses to the Masquerade he takes it rather well.

Chase/Autumn-- My Slap Slap Kiss couple.  Chase likes to flirt with her and she gets so confused and offended and “What is this thing called human flirtation my files contain no such data.” and acts prickly to him sometimes but then sometimes is like, “Two can play at this game, Mister.” and banters back.  For the most part he’ll shrug and back off when she’s in NOPE mode but when she teases back he’s like, “OKAY WAIT I’M SO CONFUSED.” and they basically bumble around accidentally being good supportive friends to each other in their low moments until they finally have to have the dreaded, “Okay what is this relationship exactly?”  Which starts as an argument but ends with kisses.  I mostly have it to add lulz. :)

Mitsuki/Lina-- Mitsuki is a shy nerdy geek type and Lina is the cool stoic big sister of the group.  So a big Geek Boy/Stoic Girl dynamic here.  They have a Meet Cute early on and Mitsuki is hopelessly crushing on her for much of the story.  Lina is oblivious to most of it but tolerates his hanging around, as it keeps the bullies off him.  She gets a temporary love interest (Sedaris) that is the polar opposite of Mitsuki--tall, charming, good with words, classically handsome, basically fangirl bait--and falls for him pretty quickly but PSYCH! turns out he’s evil and just wants to kill her.  Mitsuki is a really supportive shoulder to cry on and she warms up to him soon after that.  They get together about three-quarters through.

Adam/Elsie-- Elsie is cripplingly shy and timid and has had a crush on him forever.  He’s oblivious.  He remains oblivious until Trickster, a flirtatious villain with a thing for Elsie, involves him in a hostage situation.  They get together.  His (almost) death triggers her super-powered form.

Trickster/Elsie-- One-sided on Trickster’s side.  He likes to flirt with all the girls and annoy them but Elsie he particularly takes a shine too.  Hypnotizes her into serving him once.  It doesn’t stick.  Continues to try and get under her skin whenever he can.

Trickster/Brittney-- Brittney is actually a clingy jealous ex of Chase’s.  Through some odd events she falls in with Trickster, and they hit it off... remarkably well.  To the girls’ chagrin and disgust.

The Geek In Glass Slippers: Basically Cinderella at Comic-Con.

Chris (Leonid)/Cindy-- Like a lot of modern Cinderella retellings, I had the prince and the Cinderella equivalent meet before the ‘ball’.  They were actually friends in high school.  Then he went off and got rich and famous. :D  They’re just your basic nerd couple really.  She fights his fangirl army in the climax.  It is awesome and hilarious.

Gutter Glamour: Steampunk/Historical Romance, three brothers gotta get married before their grandpa kicks it in order to secure their fortunes.  Family drama and fiendish plots ensue.

Evander/Rita-- Main couple.  Rita was a homeless urchin Evander encountered in the streets and treated to lunch.  Having no luck finding a wife elsewhere, he returns to her the next day and proposes marriage.  They are awkward dorks together.  It is precious.

Sebastian/Vivian-- Evander’s more responsible older brother and his spacey artist girlfriend.  They just recently got engaged at the start of the story so his search for a bride is over fairly quickly, lol.  They have a baby partway through the story.

Destan/Lilian-- Lilian, a prim and proper seamstress, doesn’t think all that much of wild, trouble-making Destan when he comes to call and begs her parents for her hand at first.  But she can’t deny she’d be marrying well so she doesn’t put up much protest.  They become rather... comfortable with each other over the story.

Aidelaird/Evaline-- Happily married couple.  They are so sickeningly in love it is almost revolting.

John/Penny-- Past relationship.  Penny passed on before the beginning of the story.  She and John had a nice little Sunshiney Optimist/Grumpy Grouch thing going on.

Farraday/Tamara-- ‘nother happily married couple, mostly got a Savvy Guy/Energetic Girl dynamic.  And hella kids.  Tamara wears the pants in the relationship, and Farraday is most just constantly amused by her antics.

Donovan/Cherise-- Yet another married couple although much less happy, lol.  Both schemers and plotters, Donovan is still hung up on Evaline, who rejected him in favor of his older brother way back when, and Cherise is a crafty seductress whose womanly wiles play a big role in her manipulations.  She initially snared Donovan in an attempt to get away from her family, only to have Donovan wind up working for her family’s company out of resentment at his own family.  So their relationship is a bit, uh... frigid.  And complicated.

Devin/Tia-- Hella unhealthy.  Devin only married Tia to fulfill the requirements for Grandpa John’s will, and thus inherit the family’s fortune.  Tia tries her best to be a good wife but Devin isn’t interested in being loving or kind.  Protagonists break them up and pointedly keep her in the family and ostracize Devin.

Haegar/Ianna-- Antagonist couple.  A more stable and cooperative version of Donovan/Cherise.  Their machinations and schemes work more harmoniously with them as a cohesive team.

Nolan/Ingrid-- Semi-sleezy politician and snobby upper-class lady.  Despite said character flaws they’re rather happy together.

The Protectoress: High Fantasy/Gateway Fantasy.  Every hundred years an asteroid fragment carrying an ancient evil immortal despot comes to terrorize and destroy a magical realm.  The power to stop him reincarnates into a partner team of a Chosen One from that realm, and a Protectoress from ours.  Story is about the last partner team.

Ren/Lori-- The Chosen One and the titular Protectoress.  Mostly inspired by MeruPuri and also just because I have a thing for relationships where the older member is sortofkindofbutreallynotreally a surrogate parent/guardian to the younger member.  So Ren starts getting hot as he gets older and Lori has this moment of, “Well look at YOU!”  They have a simmering kind of slow-burn chemistry, Lori naturally feels very protective of him (and not just because her inherited magical powers make her feel that way) and comes to care about him a whole lot, but holds herself back from pushing anything until Ren is older and actively starting to pursue his own feelings for her.

Sakura Squad: Sci-Fi war drama IN SPAAAAAACE.  Protagonists become a mini propaganda shoujo heroine squad to inspire hope in the masses.

Keiji/Aiko-- Aiko is smitten at first sight and has a lot of trouble making herself coherent around him.  He mostly just thinks she’s cute at first, and brings a good vibe to the team, but unconsciously starts taking steps to protect her in combat.  His freakout when he learns about her secret Sakura Squad doings are partly motivated by his fear of her dying.  Through some close calls they quickly warm up to each other and get together towards the end.

Ryuuki/Masayo-- Ryuuki is the fangirl-bait ladies’ man who is always flirting with the girls on the team, but finds himself inexplicably flustered and awkward around shy mousy timid Wrench Wench Masayo.  She’s oblivious to his affections and her own feelings for most of the story.

Tarou/Kiyomi-- They have a supportive, friendly, playful banter kind of friendship.  Always kind of low-key flirting with each other.  Kiyomi fervently denies that they’re anything but friends but they’re caught later making out in a closet.   It is hilarious.

Shiki/Kaname-- Happy stable married couple.  Kaname wears the pants hard.  Sunk at the end when Kaname dies in battle.

Starship 227: Sci-Fi.  Elite investigative team for the galactic government fly around in their spaceship and have adventures and stuff.

Arden/Kina-- Ship captain and cute resident nurse.  Arden also has a female first mate that you’d think he might get together with in a Slap Slap Kiss fashion but nope, they just don’t like each other and are also half-siblings oops.  Arden is constantly hitting on Kina or looking for excuses to see her and she’s somewhat oblivious at first but soon grows to have feelings for him as well.

Squadron 15/Haven Academy: Your basic superhero high school.

Redbird/Firelily (Aiden/”Lily” Keliannar)-- Main couple.  Very Brooding Boy Gentle Girl.  Redbird is awkward as hell around her and she makes him go all blushy but he can be real sweet and protective and caring and she just warms up to him more and more over the story and becomes protective over him too and there’s a lot of mutual caring and concern for each other.  They get together later.

Shard/Vapor (Cliff/Shawna)-- Shawna’s dated around and actually has a boyfriend at the start of the story, whom she breaks up with because he’s a ~dramawhore~.  Shard lowkey has a bit of a crush on her the whole story and she doesn’t exactly discourage him and jokes about how she should totally date him all the time.  Eventually he realizes he really likes her and plucks up the nerve to ask her out.  He is huge and she is tiny and it is cute.

Quickster/Silkworm (Miguel/Kimiko)-- Just cute kids who like each other being cute together and going on fun dates.

Captain/Illusion (James/Janet)-- Team Dad and Team Mom.  They have a playful, comfortable sort of relationship and just like to spend time around each other away from the craziness of their “kids”.

Captain/Sketcher (James/Ellie)-- Teased.  Not emphasized much but hinted on occasion that Sketcher has a crush on him.  It never develops into much and she forgets about it quietly as the story goes on.

Crimson Ray/Silver Shield (Leonid/Alisa)-- Sweet good-natured nice boy and sweet good-natured Ill Girl.  They are lowkey and quiet and very heartwarming.  Also endlessly tragic when the ship is sunk with Alisa’s Heroic Sacrifice to save the city.  I milk the angst for all it’s worth.  It is almost mean.

Flint/Solar (Andrew/Doris)-- Happy married couple.  They kind of needle and poke each other playfully and make each other flustered.  It’s cute.

Nighteagle/Cosmar (Douglas/Zoe)-- Stoic introverted Angsty McAngsterson and the bubbliest, sunniest, most energetic ball of energy ever.  Cosmar has a massive, not-so-secret crush on him and it confuses and baffles the hell of out Nighteagle.

White Eyestones: High fantasy war drama.

Indin/Elarin-- Happy married couple.  They have their rough patches but they smooth them out quickly.  Sunk when Indin dies halfway through the story.

Elsiron/Thelnaela-- This one was almost kind of an accident?  Lol IDK I just really liked writing Thelnaela being all teasing and playful around him and their banter almost wrote itself and I was like, “Ah yes.  This should be a thing.”

Winds of Ikilia: Fantasy quest in an asian-inspired world.  To try and win a war against an evil empire a crown prince kidnaps a young tribesgirl with mysterious powers.  Her friends come after her to rescue her.  They have adventures.

Kai/Nadi-- Main couple.  Hella cute.  Been friends since childhood, get matched by the matchmaker early on in the story.  Have a very deliberate Older Girl/Younger Boy thing going on.  They spend a lot of time being worried about each other and having playful banter and saying heartwarming things to each other that make my character Tiri groan and roll her eyes.  Decide to start officially referring to each other as betrothed and fiance partway through the story.  Married in the epilogue.

Ainusan/Ta Lian-- Oh gosh this is... *giggles*  This is actually kind of a running gag.  See my protagonist Nadi once disguises herself as a noblewoman while she’s looking for her friend and Prince Ainusan comes in and basically confuses her for Princess Ta Lian and is rather impressed by her spunk, being that he thought she was more of a ditz.  Ta Lian herself hears about his poor first impression of her later, from Nadi, and is so OFFENDED and ANNOYED and “That jerk I liked him!” and from then on I basically just make cracks about how they should totally get together.  And then the payoff comes in the epilogue where I reveal that they totally did.  I did it because it was funny.

Ainusan/Kiria-- Teased.  Little bitty hints here and there that Kiria has a tiny crush on him.  Nothing major.

San/Tiri-- Teased.  Tiri likes to flirt at him and he sometimes banters back.  Doesn’t go anywhere but provides much lulz

San/Kiria-- Also another case where little hints are dropped that Kiria has a crush on him.  What can I say, she likes dem older boys.

Korda/Keyla-- Married couple.  Nadi’s parent’s.  No big.

Wings: Magical girlfriend story.  Fairy family gets stuck living with normal human family for a while.  Their kids fall in love.  Drama ensues.

Hideki/Elaina-- Main couple.  It’s pretty much love at first sight for Hideki, and he immediately wants to ask her out.  She’s thrilled at his attention and forwardness and caring and becomes super protective of him and they are basically adorable at each other.  They get married partway through, in a magic ritual that will serve to protect him from fairy machinations.

Kubo/Haruna-- Married couple.  Hideki’s parents.  Not much else to be said about them.  They’re stable and healthy and long-suffering together.

Oberon/Titania-- Their marital problems are the driving background noise behind literally every single problem the two families ever have.  They seriously need counseling.

Ronan/Amara-- Married couple.  Elaina’s parents.  Amara had a lot of bitterness in her heart from a previous first love (a human, ordered killed by Oberon when he found out because he’s hissy about fairy/human relationships because Titania’s a cheating skank with them) but Ronan managed to soften her and help her find a measure of healing and happiness.

Tallas/Elaina-- One-sided.  Tallas is a fairy noble who has a creepy interest in Elaine and has on one occasion tried to ask her father for her hand.  Ronan sensed he was bad news and vetoed that right away.  Amara was later approached with the same offer and told Tallas where to shove it.  He persists in trying to woo her himself but she’s not flattered or interested and he basically slips more and more into an adolescent hissy fit of If I Can’t Have You, outright brainwashing and threatening Hideki in one case.  Roundly thwarted in the end.

About Luibhghort

This kingdom used to be hidden from the rest of the universe, but after the great civil war, it opened its borders to the rest of the world. Still, the magical barriers only allow allies to enter, as its residents are still weary of outsiders.

Luibhghort means Garden of Herbs in Gaelic, and that is exactly what this world is. You may find all kinds of herbs, trees, and flowers everywhere you go. That is why even the most average citizen knows their way around herbology, and the greatest asset of the economy is the trade of these precious ingredients. It is also why so many of its people are named after plants.

As it is with anything that is on a different plane (humans would call it dimension), sometimes the magic and knowledge can bleed into other worlds. This is why they have so much in common with druids, and their magic, also rooted in nature, seems to have been incorporated in their human counterparts as well.

Though many, including royals, are fluent in English, Gaelic is the common tongue used by all of the realm. And the way the land is organised and ruled would remind someone to the Scottish clans of old. Tough it is the Empress that rules it all.

*Authors notes: when in doubt, think Celts, Scottish highland and druids, and you will get a feeling for the place and its culture.  

About Dandelion

Aspiration: Spellcaster and Sorcery | Genious, Bookworm, Clumsy

She is an only child, but that hasn’t stopped her from having many friends. In her 27 years of life, she has been learning the art of alchemy and herbology, something she is very passionate about. But she is a natural with untamed magic, a talent which she probably inherited from the long line of untamed spellcasters her father hails from. Speaking of which, she still has not forgiven her father for betraying her mother and trying to steal the throne. She chose her mother in the conflict, helping her root out the traitors and restoring her to the throne. It came as a surprise to no one, since they were always very close. From a very young age, her mother taught her how to be a fighter.

Swordsmanship, archery, defensive and offensive magic. Those are some of the skills Rowan passed along to her daughter. Though Dandelion still couldn’t beat her (no one in the realm could beat Rowan at any of these skills), she is well on her way to dominate them.

However, don’t ask her to use practical or mischief magic, which you’ll likely end with a broken bone, since she cannot control them at all. Why, it is a mystery.

More facts about her:

Some things she hates: people who lie, wasting time, people who aren’t loyal, people who aren’t kind to strangers and non-spellcasters.

Her closest friends call her Dee-Dee (from her initials). She doesn’t like it very much, but she knows it means that this person is important to her, so she allows it.

As a child, she and her mother would spend a lot of time at the beach. So now that is a special place for her. But she would never go into the ocean, because it terrifies her.

Would spend her entire day reading if she could. But as the head of the royal advisory council, and her mother’s right hand, she spends too much time in politics, solving crises and making sure everything is alright. That is how she discovered the coup and was able to stop it.

*Authors notes: I imagine spellcasters on this realm to be prejudiced against non-spellcasters in the same way a human would be with a non-human.

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.”

On second thought, maybe Shula’s father should hold back on that RSVP for Shula at Prince Evander’s ball? (part 3 of 5)
