My husbands first love by Luciferbest12

** "Maximilian?" I blink at her silently. She just called my name. By my name. Instead of feeling repulsed and detested by that sound I instead can't feel anything anymore. All I can see is her. My breath stops for a moment again. Just like back in the tent. "Yes it's me." I say, quickly looking away from her side. "Why are you here?" She asks me coldly taking my hand away from her cheek. She then sits up straight in the sofa, far from me. I silently drop my hand back to my lap. I kind of felt disappointed. "Why can't I be here? Can't a husband visit his wife whenever he wants?" She shakes her head. "You're not like other husbands. And I'm not like other wives. You're a husband that's still hung up on their first love. And I'm a wife that wants nothing to do with you." She says with her tired eyes, after having slept only for 2 hours. _____________________________ Maximillian, the Emperor of the Kaisenarch Empire, who still love his first love. Elizabeth, the Empress that only wanted her husbands love She had taken years to realize, that maybe her marriage was always doomed, from the beginning. And her feelings will never be reciprocated.

In hiding as a maid, Princess Adelaide must resist the charms of the devilishly handsome Duke of Kingfield. But could he help her if she told him her secret? ***** Two years ago, Princess Adelaide was forced into hiding after her father, King William IV, was killed in a carriage accident that also took the life of her mother and brother. She suspects that the despicable man now on the throne of England--her uncle, Ernest--is responsible for her family's death, so she avoids his watchful eye by working as a maid for the aristocratic families of London. However, when she's employed by the dashing Duke of Kingfield, she soon discovers that he not only believes that the princess is alive, but also that she could be the key to saving England. Is Adelaide willing to come out of hiding in order to prove him right? Or are her growing feelings for him worth giving up her claim to the throne?

Not a Typical Princess (Princess Diana's Daughter) by SophiaJohnson255

Imagine if Prince Charles and Princess Diana had a daughter. Now 23 years later, Princess Gwendoline deals with paparazzi, life and love. Everyone states she looks like her mother-- the late and great Lady Diana Spencer-- but Princess Gwendoline barely even knew her. As a snapshot of her life, in the summer of 2018, many things are changing. She is trying to find her place in the monarchy while trying to find her place in the world. Please Note: This was requested by a reader, and it may be is not what they wanted but this is what happens. I am a cynic after all. (It comes out in the rest of my work as well.) I wrote this in twelve hours, so I know it's not my best work. As well as, I know that there is no Princess Gwendoline exists, and I chose to use events during the summer of 2018 to make it more believable.

The Other Henry VIII by RedPanda1203

A young man sits on the throne of England with a face and charm that draws woman from all corners of the kingdom. There are those with years of training and tutoring in their heads: there are those with no plan but themselves; there are those who only see the empty throne and themselves to fill it. Henry VIII needs a Queen. He needs a son. He's the King of England. He always gets exactly what he wants. This time, he wants the woman of his dreams. Well, maybe two or three. *Started 28th August 2016* *Completed 16th February 2022* #39 in Historical Fiction 22/07/18 #29 in Fiction 17/08/20 >> Cover designed by the great @WorksbyAmeliss <<

The Six by wallflower321

'Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived." In this way, the six wives of Henry VIII were remembered not for how they lived, but in the way they died. It is impossible to know exactly what they were thinking or had to go through, in having to marry this larger-than life King, so assured of his own rightness. It is impossible to know what their last thoughts were. But we can guess, and infer. Because these six women weren't simply paper-thin, flat cut-outs from hundreds of years ago; they were unique, and each had their own strength, and each had the fate to marry King Henry VIII, and dance around this large maypole. *Shorts on the six wives of Henry VIII; their lives, their deaths*

To Catch A King by issyfh

'...The first thing I notice about him is his weight. The rumours are true: he is spoilt and fat, so different from the young Renaissance prince I have heard he once was. His padded garments only make him look swollen and stout, not stronger. His red hair is thinning and tinged grey, along with his beard... This is the man I must seduce.' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Winter 1539. The young, beautiful Catherine Howard leaves her residence to go and serve the future Queen of England, Anne of Cleves, a German Protestant. But beneath this seemingly simple task, a deeper and much more complex plot is at hand. Charged with the same task as her infamous cousin Anne Boleyn, Catherine must use all of her charm and wit to seduce King Henry VIII and save the Howards from permanent destruction. In this tale of intrigue, deception and injustice, the true story of Catherine Howard's rise and fall from power is told based on real historical events and people. Can Catherine betray a Queen and friend that she has grown fond of? Can she ever escape the curse of her family name and history? Can she catch the King before it is too late?
