Alexandria Silvestre was born in the small city of Polis raised by her parents Maximus and Becca Silvestre. Maximus was the owner of one of the most renowned Gladiatorial academies in all of Rome where novice warriors and slaves would come to train as Gladiators. In some instances even decorated warriors would come to learn the trick of the trade to become Gladiators fit to fight in the fierce Colosseum. Alexandria had taken an extensive interest in her father's profession at a young age and started training with the fierce warriors. Female Gladiators were people that were of an extreme rarity but still, they fought in the Colosseum with men as their equals. When a civil war struck, Alexandria was prepared to fight alongside her brothers and sisters but what she was not prepared for was to lose her family and lover Costia. After the war, she decided that Polis had nothing more to offer her now that she had lost everything she had ever loved. In her grief, Lexa and her best friend Octavia set out to Rome to fight in the Colosseum and Lexa feels if death befalls her, it would not matter. After her first fight and many kills, the new Emperor Jake Gryphem [Latin for Griffin] was quite satisfied with her performances and show of skill being able to cut down men three times her size. Upon personally meeting Alexandria by his request after a match in the arena, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to set Alexandria in his daughter, Clarke Gryphem's personal guard which Alexandria honorably accepts as it is a request from her Emperor. However, upon meeting Clarke Gryphem, Alexandria is absolutely blown away by her Empress's beauty. Although Alexandria continues to fight in the Colosseum to free her mind of her demons, her Empress clouds her mind and she now fights to live. And so her Rise to Empress begins in 140AD. - Scenes of gore and occasional strong language is used. -

❝𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚❞ I should not feel anything for someone who is my enemy, someone who has caused me so much pain that the very thought of him should fill me with nothing but rage and bitterness. Yet, against all logic, I feel it-I feel the heat rising beneath my skin . The mere idea of his touch sends shivers down my spine, igniting sensations that I desperately want to ignore. This isn't right. I shouldn't crave the presence of someone I despise, but my body betrays me, responding to him in ways that my mind fiercely rejects. He stands so close that his breath fans across my face, warm and intimate, stirring emotions that I refuse to acknowledge. A slight movement is all it would take for our lips to meet, for this unbearable tension to shatter into something far more dangerous. His hands are braced on either side of my head, trapping me, yet he doesn't need to touch me to make me feel trapped. His body hovers just out of reach, yet I can sense him, every inch of him, as if the air itself is an extension of his presence. I shouldn't desire this man. I shouldn't want to close the gap, to feel the press of his body against mine. I should be repulsed, disgusted by how my thoughts betray my hatred. But my body doesn't listen to reason , it yearns for what it shouldn't, driven by instincts I can't control. I despise him-my enemy- My rival-but the line between hatred and desire is blurring, and I'm terrified of which side I might fall on. {𝖠 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾 } | | Mature content 18+| |

Jinshi, il fratello minore dell'imperatore, ha sempre odiato l'idea di salire al trono. Pensava che non sarebbe mai successo, poiché l'imperatore aveva già due eredi: il primo, un bambino appena nato dalla consorte Gyokuyo, e l'altro, un figlio da un'altra consorte. Nonostante questo, Jinshi temeva che il suo destino cambiasse, soprattutto con il piccolo erede ancora vulnerabile alla morte prematura. Per evitare ogni possibile ambiguità sul suo ruolo, Jinshi si marchiò il simbolo dell'imperatrice Gyokuyo sul corpo, come segno che non avrebbe mai minacciato il futuro potere del bambino. Il marchio, però, non poteva essere visto da nessuno, perché interpretato come un atto di adulterio se scoperto. Quando un attentato alla vita dell'imperatore e dei suoi figli ha successo, Jinshi si trova improvvisamente a dover prendere il suo posto come nuovo imperatore. Il suo compito ora è quello di generare un erede, ma il marchio che ha sul corpo rappresenta un enorme problema. Infatti, l'unica persona che conosce il segreto di quel simbolo è Maomao, la speziale che era presente al momento della realizzazione del marchio. Jinshi non può permettere che nessun altro veda quel segno, che potrebbe essere interpretato come una prova di adulterio con l'imperatrice Gyokuyo. Di conseguenza, l'unica persona che può diventare la sua concubina è Maomao, l'unica che ha il permesso di vedere Jinshi nudo, a causa della sua conoscenza del marchio. Il destino di Jinshi è ormai legato a quello di Maomao, e il trono imperiale è avvolto da segreti e pericoli, mentre lui si prepara ad affrontare una vita che non avrebbe mai voluto.

Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice. She sees the man behind the blade, the one who bleeds and the one who hides. In stolen glances. In late night conversations and lingering silence. She begins to see the man beneath the steel. He begins to hear the voice behind her silence. But love is dangerous in a world like theirs. Because secrets are buried deep within the castle walls. And neither of them truly knows the other's past... or what their union is truly meant to ignite. He was forged to destroy. She was taught to endure. Together, they may either save a kingdom or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it? What destiny awaits when the fearsome knight's fury meets the silent strength of the quiet princess? Together, can they rewrite the fate that neither could face alone? *note~i do not own any pictures/images that are uploaded throughout the entirety of this book...all rights go to the rightful owners*
