Courtdrama Stories

She is the crown princess destined for a throne. He is the general's son destined for a war. And between them lies a vow whispered under a willow tree when they were children- a vow neither of them is meant to keep. Years later, when Celandria returns to the palace and Kael rises as the kingdom's most feared protector, one stolen glance is enough to ruin everything. Duty demands distance. Desire demands everything else. In a world where loyalty is law and love is treason, how long can a whispered promise survive?

Gold Beneath the Crocodile Throne is a lush, dangerous love story set in the final blaze of Cleopatra VII's reign, where candlelit corridors hold secrets and the Nile carries whispers. Summoned to Alexandria, Sahira-a Black woman of southern bloodlines with a strategist's mind and a spine of steel-finds herself deliberately placed between a queen's designs and Rome's hunger. When she collides with Cassian Aurelian, a Roman commander whose loyalties are fraying, attraction becomes a weapon, then a refuge, and finally a vow. Amid festivals that glow like embers, flooded streets that mirror the sky, and temples humming with power, they craft a bond that is intimate, unflinching, and politically lethal. As forged decrees, velvet betrayals, and sanctimonious rivals close in, Sahira learns to shape the city's pulse, to steady a crown history loves loudly, and to leave fingerprints on a future that refuses to record her name. This is fanfiction where the canon creaks, queens teach in whispers, and love chooses to stay when escape is easier. Ha ©️ Relle H
