The night-time confessions of two uncouth strawberry bandits.

careworn and smiling with a crooked grin, adoration slept in the wrinkles beside his eyes as he observed the mosaic beauty. she held his callused palm in hers and whispered to the moon; "tonight, we're monsters." romanticism isn't always beautiful.

Antinous is destined to die. Envied by the gods and despised by his rivals, the Greek youth from Bithynia is the most beautiful boy in the Roman Empire, summoned to the Eternal City where the emperor, Hadrian, makes him his lover. Just when Antinous thinks he has outrun destiny, he meets Leonides, a bold young soldier who conquers his heart. He desires the soldier but belongs to the emperor. If he gives in to temptation it may cost them their lives. His rivals are always talking and the gods always watching.

A dare-devil commoner. A notorious, beastly Prince. His gentle brother. And an enraged Princess. When the four of them crossed paths, hell froze over. Oh, and a complicated love square between them was just a cherry on top. ♔◦☓◦☙◦♔ Gabriella Adler (Ella) was fearless, brave, and courageous. Nothing stopped her from grasping the Emperor of Dalia, King Ernest Haynes's attention in the most uncanny and daring of ways, not her gender and not her fear. Especially when he had the secrets and mysteries of her family buried deep inside of him. But that was just the dawn of the ultimate dusk that was about to blanket her skies. The everyday bickering collision with the bold, dominant, and teasing Crown Prince Theodore Able ( Jeon Jung-Kook) was not on her wish list; neither was falling in love at first sight with his charming and sweet brother, Prince Emmett Able ( Kim Tae-Hyung). Just when she thought life couldn't stab her with any more spears, came wrecking in the Dalai Empire's sole Princess, Irene Ernest( Bae Joo-Hyun). With a firm belief that she could put an end to the new-born infatuation that Prince Theodore, her love interest, had developed for Ella, Princess Irene vowed to pull them apart. Living together in a castle would have been fun if it weren't for Ella struggling each day to uncover her identity and if it weren't for the rest of them hiding a lethal plan up their sleeves. Things were deadly, and the mysteries unveiled were shocking. It was a dangerous game of chess and a fierce game of thrones. The first one to blink was the first one to lose. And the first one to fall in love was the first to slip away because the course of true love never does run smooth. ♔◦☓◦☙◦♔◦☙◦☓◦♔ Banners by : @sunalessiamoon and @LadySnowdrop
