Historias de Courtintrigue

"Peace built on fear lasts longer than peace built on kindness." Emperor Choi San lived by those words. Feared as the Blood Emperor, he built his empire through war, intelligence, and ruthless resolve. The imperial harem remains empty, the court trembles before him, and no one dares question his will. Then, lost within a mist-covered mountain, he follows the sound of silver bells... ...and finds Jung Wooyoung. A mysterious young healer from a hidden tribe. A boy with silver ornaments, azure eyes, poisonous butterflies, and a heart too kind for the ruthless world of the imperial court. What begins as a political bargain soon changes the fate of an empire. Because sometimes, the strongest force isn't a sword... It's a silver butterfly.

In a kingdom divided by blood, history, and betrayal, peace was never meant to last. Centuries ago, the ancient Suryans crossed the seas from the golden empire of Suryagarh and transformed the dying kingdom of Valmere into the most powerful nation in the western world. Together, they built an empire of wealth, knowledge, and conquest beneath a sacred oath known as the Golden Covenant. But prosperity bred fear. Now Valmere stands fractured in two-one side ruled by a cold northern crown, the other by the powerful Suryan councils whose people were once welcomed as saviors and later feared as threats. When civil war erupts after a devastating betrayal within the royal family, King Arthur of Valmere is forced into a fragile alliance with the Suryans once more to save the kingdom from destruction. Though the war ends in victory, the peace that follows begins unraveling faster than anyone expected. As political unrest spreads across the divided kingdom, old hatred resurfaces, dangerous secrets emerge from exile, and the line between ally and enemy grows thinner by the day. Caught in the middle is Kavira Suryavansh-a fiercely intelligent warrior raised among the eastern councils-and King Arthur, a ruler burdened by a crown inherited from generations of broken promises. In a kingdom built on unity but poisoned by fear, love may become the most dangerous threat of all. Sovereign: Long May She Reign is an epic fantasy romance filled with political intrigue, forbidden tension, war, betrayal, and the slow unraveling of a kingdom standing on the edge of collapse.

The night Maelys was born, a storm made a decision for her. A desperate woman, a coerced midwife, and a courtyard where someone died in the rain conspired to place one infant in a palace and erase another from the record entirely. Twenty-two years later, someone has come to unmake it, and she has twenty-two years of righteous fury, a powerful patron, and the specific weapon of a truth that supports multiple stories at once. Raised in the painted corridors and orange-blossom courtyards of Solenir Palace, Maelys knows how to read a room before she enters it, how to wear humor like armor over something more serious underneath, and how to survive in a court that admires her with one hand and doubts her with the other. She has been exceptional here her entire life. She knows what exceptions are for. When the girl she unknowingly replaced arrives with documents, damage, and the kind of righteous anger that is the most dangerous kind because it is not entirely wrong, nothing careful is enough anymore. With a conspiracy threading through the court's most elegant rooms, a bodyguard who has been keeping a report in a locked box for eight years waiting for the right person to receive it, and a crown prince who asks before he touches and is not without fault and is learning the difference between those two facts, Maelys must fight for her name, her life, and the identity she has spent twenty-two years choosing rather than receiving. This is a slow burn interracial historical romance with explicit intimacy, graphic violence, and a world that does not soften its edges for the comfort of anyone in it. It is a story about what is owed and what is chosen, about love as a continuous practice rather than a destination, about darkness that stays and is carried rather than resolved, and about a woman who refuses, repeatedly, in every room that tries to define her, to let anyone else decide who she is. Dark. Tender. Permanent. Earned. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.

Part 1: He was born to be the kingdom's weapon, but she might be the first thing he's ever chosen for himself. He's the kingdom's golden boy. Famous. Untouchable. A sword prodigy with a perfect name and a rotten home. She's a poor girl with dirt under her nails and a family she'd burn the world for. Mallory Dulcee only wanted work. Jonah Kinley only wanted to be left alone. But when she's hired onto his estate, their worlds collide in the most dangerous way: late-night training, stolen moments, secret walks home, and a connection that feels like sin in a city that worships status. And when the wrong people notice, "romance" stops being cute and starts being deadly. Because Jonah isn't just a noble boy. He's Royal Hand. And falling for the wrong girl might cost them both everything. Part 2: He promised he'd come back. Then the King declared war. Now Jonah Kinley is trapped behind enemy lines with a shadow team, a mission nobody is allowed to question, and a hooded monster of a commander who smiles like he enjoys pain. Back home, Mallory is left with letters... and silence. They write to survive: love, fear, prayers, jealousy, guilt. Every page pulls them closer, even as the world tries to tear them apart. And when Mallory becomes a target, she learns the hard way that being "Kinley's girl" isn't a compliment... it's a threat. Meanwhile Jonah is changing. The war is changing him. And the man pulling the strings wants Jonah to become something worse. They can survive a kingdom at war, but can their love survive what the war turns him into? This is just a first draft so do with that as you will. Also, this may sound stupid but thank you to everyone who has viewed my story. I appreciate you all so much!

Two summers. Two choices. One love that outlasted an empire. The Long Summer For nearly fifty years, Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich carried the memory of a single midsummer evening. In June 1891, at Fredensborg Palace in Denmark, a young Romanov prince met a princess with ribbons in her hair, a flower garland in her curls, and laughter bright enough to capture his attention despite every effort to avoid it. While Europe's royal families gathered to celebrate Princess Elena's eighteenth birthday, neither of them could have imagined the path that lay ahead. Their story would span the final decades of Imperial Russia, the glittering world of Europe's royal courts, the heartbreak of revolution, and the loss of everything they had once called home. When the Romanov dynasty falls, Alexander faces a choice between loyalty to an empire and loyalty to the people he loves. Choosing his wife and children, he leads his family into exile, carrying with him little more than memories, hope, and the woman who had become the center of his world. From the lantern-lit gardens of Fredensborg to the quiet halls of an English country estate, The Long Summer follows one family across half a century of triumph, tragedy, and change. At its heart is a love story-not of crowns or power, but of endurance. A story of grandchildren gathered around a library fire. Of a husband who never forgot the sound of his wife's laughter. And of a midsummer evening that lasted a lifetime.

In Avanti, power is not inherited, It is survived.

Another drags her through secret passages in terror, afraid of a man she hasn't even met yet. And when she finally meets him... he doesn't ask who she is. He doesn't wait for confirmation. He holds her like a man who just remembered how to breathe after years of suffocating, and whispers one word : "She's back." But Rimas doesn't remember him at all.
