All Ivetta wants is a steady paycheck and consistent hours. Her mother's health is failing fast, and she has to earn enough money to keep paying the mounting doctor's bills. Getting a job as a palace maid seems like the answer she needs, even if she has a long commute. Prince Chevalier, the Second Prince of Rhodolite, has a reputation for being a cruel, heartless monster. If it weren't for her circumstances, Ivetta would have quit after the first day. She never expects him to come to her rescue when disaster strikes. Suddenly, he's the only person with whom she truly feels safe, allowing the roots of an unlikely and impossible romance to take hold. Threats force them closer together, and the mysteries of the past come to bear. A glimmer of hope for a brighter future blossoms in the darkness. Maybe, on the other side of pain and heartbreak, is the fairytale ending Ivetta never dreamed was possible. ***** Estimated reading times: Act 1: The Maid (14 hours, 44 minutes) Act 2: The Intermission (4 hours, 53 minutes) Act 3: The Princess (11 hours, 57 minutes) Act 4: The Queen (7 hours, 29 minutes)

Cold, cruel, calculating. These are the words that best describe Chevalier Michel, the second prince of Rhodolite. A genius and a master swordsman, he has well and truly earned the monikers the Brutal Beast and the Bloody Tiger, and he's worked his whole life toward the singular goal of claiming the throne. He has no time or patience for anyone or anything that stands in his way, and he certainly never gives any thought to something so foolish as emotions. Few question him. All fear him. Except for his new maid.

|| FEATURED X 3 || Alexiel Chisaka knew that falling in love with the crown prince would bring turmoil in her life... but being stuck in a loop of death wasn't her first thought. ━─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉━━━─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉━━━─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉━━ Alexiel Chisaka, the loved daughter of Duke Chisaka, was known for her beauty and knowledge all over the lands. But when the crown prince, her dearest friend, chose Yui instead of her, it only did not hurt her pride but left her heart broken. Death, however, was not the end for Alexiel. Awaking amidst the familiar blooms of the royal garden, she found herself entangled in a relentless cycle of demise. From being his mistress... to being disguised as a boy and becoming a knight, from dying for him to being killed by him, she had tried all ways-- she could think of, but alas she tragically died every time. But everything might change, when at the time of her tenth death, Benzaiten approached her, her heart lidded with pity, and offered her a solution. To end her eleventh life peacefully, she would need to seek help from an unlikely ally. Only then can she hope to unravel the curse and embrace the tranquility of a final rest. ━─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉━━─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉━━─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉━ 🌕Entry for the AAPI Heritage month contest hosted by @APIRomance🌕 The Amazing cover is made by: @ReynaBennett Thank you!

Sit up straight, chin up, shoulders back Do not speak until spoken to, do not stutter, keep answers short and concise Do not smile, do not frown, do not laugh, do not sigh Punishments will be harsh on any offenders. In a world where individuality is suppressed and failure has no tolerance, one girl struggles to keep up with the crippling expectations placed upon her, barely surviving each day all while relentlessly trying to stand out among a sea of faceless, nameless units. Rebellions rage outside the facility's walls as two sides clash for control in a violent, stagnant struggle. The idea of Insurgents had always seemed so distant to her...something she's heard of all her life, but never seen. But when the two worlds finally collide, she finds herself thrust into an journey of discovery to find out who she really is and maybe find love in an unexpected way.
