An old-hierarchy includes many festivities including arranged marriages. Power and money were the new love for the Royals.
She was white. Light. Innocent. Perfection.
He was grey. An absence of light. Mysterious. Discouraged.
The twinkle in her eyes would appear whenever she saw him. A man that could never be hers.
That's what led to all the betrayals, lies and heartbreaks. How could a love so pure create a feeling so vile around it?

In Dreams
The inner workings of the Royal family of Ethelburgesa was a secret. One could only imagine what happened behind the opulent front they put on. Life wasn't that different for Princess Cassiopeia. She was meant to be seen not heard, find a husband of higher rank and produce children before the age of twenty-five, easy with all the balls and social gatherings right? Wrong. There was a life plan and the family stuck to it... Until her brother abdicated. With a stupid mistake costing her her reputation, she is hurriedly married off to a current suitor and they have to work hard to keep up the facade that they have created. But things keep going wrong and accidents happen. Was it revenge or was Cassiopeia really just not meant to be the first female ruler and a higher power putting her in her place? I am gently rewriting this. So there will be an overhaul in a month or two. :)Complete
