Things to do in Public when Bored ( currently updating )

~.✧ Her haunting past and forced arranged marriage isn't enough to kill her spirit ✧.~ Asria Bordovaki-or rather Delaskez-is the youngest royal of the Austoran royal family but carries the heaviest weight upon her shoulders. Her arranged marriage with Prince Varien Delaskez of Ethira has finally come and now she must face a completely new life. At only sixteen, she must become a wife, a queen, and an allying connection between Austora and Ethira. While all these changes are hard on Asria, she knows that this is her duty and the only way to stop Brikenfolt, the kingdom that left her with scars on both her body and mind. With a completely new home and people surrounding her, Asria must not only adjust to being married to a man she barely knows and ruling a country on the verge of collapse, but she must also fight as Brikenfolt decides it's time to become violent once again. They've been suppressed for too long and nothing will stop their greed. Except, that is, for a new queen with a dangerous spirit that no one will see coming...

~.✧ The kingdom of Austora is built on family names and tradition. So what happens when the quiet princess breaks the rules of both? ✧.~ Asaidylina "Saidy" Bordovaki is the third in line to the throne of Austora. She knows that her eldest brother Kartren will be King one day and is more than happy to let him live in the spotlight while she lives a quiet, comfortable life in the shadows of the castle. Despite her anxieties when it comes to new people, she is even willing to do as her parents say and court a gentlemen-Ibrin Corzavan-to create an easy life for herself and her family. But then, things change. Things become a little less easy... Larklind Sarcroft enters Saidy's life. First as a friend, and then maybe more. But there's a problem: while his family upholds traditional values, he is not of the gentry. Not even close. He's a gatekeeper guard, considered on the same level as a castle servant. But love has no bounds and despite their completely different worlds they are drawn together by a beautiful force. Only time will tell how long this force can keep them together...

Sixteen-year-old "model Christian" LeAnna Daniels is rooted in God's Word. She knows she's His Child. There's nothing she can't handle with His help. She knows every rule there is to know in the Bible. She knows exactly how to witness. Or so she thinks. Then her family takes in Rita, a wild, reckless fifteen-year-old who was orphaned and placed in foster care at the age of seven. Rita tests LeAnna in ways she never thought God would test her in. When Rita makes a terrible decision and pays the consequences, all LeAnna wants to do is scream at her, and she doesn't understand why. It's a lesson she never thought she would ever need. It's a lesson on how to love someone. Fifteen-year-old "juvenile delinquent" Rita MacKenzie is mad at the world. It's not hard to see why. A fire killed her parents when she was seven, she was separated from her siblings, and a lifetime of trauma and abuse follows her. Then she's sent to what the judge calls her last shot before shes shipped to juvie. And possibly her last chance at a family. No one wants a teenager, after all. She hates it. Strict parents and a foster sister who's constantly trying to shove religion down her throat might just be the last straw for her. But just as she begins to learn that their love- and God's love- has no strings attached, a terrible mistake has her questioning everything, especially God's love. It's a lesson Rita's been neglecting for years. It's a lesson on how to accept love, especially when you know you don't deserve it.
