‟Tonight shall be the first and last night that we spend together, Gianita, for I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟

‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟

***

Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere. To her dismay, the Emperor prefers the companion of his young son instead of his new bride.

There were no traces of his previous marriage, only that the wife died shortly after the Prince was born.

With his past clouded with riddles, will she be able to unravel the mystery that is him?

Prince of Lies [COMPLETED] by rdiamond89

What would happen if Prince Charming married the Evil Queen? Only Frederick is anything but a noble fairy-tale prince. He's a power-hungry general with an unrelenting obsession of being the next King of Thescan. But before becoming the king, he must commit treason against his uncle, a madman who uses his ability to see into the future to thwart every assassination attempt on his life. Frederick's plans to seize the throne are expedited after losing a battle against a rival kingdom, and he must do anything to secure an alliance to protect his people-even if it means proposing to a monster. He marries Queen Arabella, the Widow Queen, a blood-thirsty vampyre who earned her name by brutally murdering all her royal husbands, making him her next target. He will use her to free his kingdom from the threat of invasion, overpower his uncle, and secure his throne once and for all. Only Arabella isn't easily influenced by Frederick, and he must prove himself a worthy ruler, warrior, and husband before she deigns to help him. But marriage with the Widow Queen will turn into a war of wills and dark desires. He will use love as a weapon. She will treat love like a game. Only one of them can have what they want. Frederick must manipulate the affections of the most dangerous woman in the land to stay alive, then kill her before she has the chance to kill him. But as he gets closer to securing everything he's ever wanted, an ancient evil will make itself known. He'll be forced to make irrevocable decisions, and one important question will stand between him and the Throne of Thescan: will he really do anything to become a king?

The Tyrant King's Queen by anjay_writess

"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder. The reason is quite simple. Years ago, the same princess had saved his life from the bitter hands of death when he was betrayed by his half brother, the crown prince of Madonia.

(Updated/Rewritten 2025!) *** The Emperor's Concubine *** The world seems harsh and cruel, especially when you've been locked away - unaware of the possibility to experience a different life. Princess Celestia Avri, raised in isolation to fulfill her parents' goals, can only dream of the vast life behind the castle walls. Hidden from the outside world and tormented by her own family; her world is flipped once she's taken to the ruling grand empire, the Cypheler Empire. With the princess' kingdom brought to ruin, her name and title stripped, she's forcibly taken as the emperor's possession. The once neglected princess experiences a far different life as a concubine for the notoriously cruel Emperor Cabel. The two navigate their growing feelings - questioning if their love can flourish as the past returns to interfere. *** The Emperor's Concubine Two *** (2025 currently being rewritten/re-edited!) With the once cold-hearted emperor and the once neglected princess engaged, bliss fills each day as their wedding approaches. Their days of serenity are suddenly disrupted, when a devastating incident shakes the entire empire - causing the sudden arrival of someone from the princess' past. A curse of destruction and chaos falls upon the land, and the fate of everyone rests on the shoulders of the emperor's fiancée. *The Emperor's Concubine 2 chapters will be titled with B.2, standing for Book 2* (Contains: Assault, abuse, violence, trauma, sex, and cursing.

The Princess and the Royal Guard by madisonrae19

Princess Ariana has been in love with her best friend Coby since they were little children. The only problem is, he has always loved her as a sister and nothing more. When she realises that he may never come to love her romantically, a heartbroken Ariana agrees to court Prince Jasper of a neighbouring Kingdom. But what happens when Coby realises that his feelings for Ariana are in fact more then platonic, but she is now courting some Prince, who in his mind is not good enough for her, but is still a man who outweighs him in society since he is just a simple Royal Guard. Jealousy, tension and of course love collide in this short tale, which proves that true love can conquer over all. * Completed and edited but may still have some mistakes. * *If you enjoy the Royalty genre please check out my other books 'Being the Spoilt Princess' and 'The Tale of a Princess Kidnapped by Pirates'*

[Discontinued] Oh, my Emperor! (Yandere Emperor x reader) by Tokugawa-Lacrimosa

(Yandere Emperor x reader) Upon a near-death experience, you were running for your life from a killer who you rejected on top of a bridge only for it to collapse beneath the two of you, transporting you both into another world filled with a medieval fantasy fan's dream. Magic, horses, knights, royalty, nobles, and even mythical creatures! A world you would have never perceived as possible unless through fiction. Upon you and your killer's entrance, you both were greeted with the presence of an old emperor and a young prince-one being cautious, and another being curious. They immediately arrest your killer and took him away to the imperial prison and sentenced him to the gallows as a potential dangerous threat to the empire's safety. The others are wary of your presence and hope you are not like him. Most were curious about what kind of person you are whereas others did not take your appearance kindly. Among those who are curious is a handsome young prince whose eyes finally light up after years of mediocrity. Throughout the years, the people of this planet of Valtoria have been plagued with a dark king who is terrorizing the people of the planet and it is up to the prophesied Saintess who appears from another world to save everyone. You, on the other hand, would much prefer to go home... (I don't own any pictures used; cover is from ENA. Inspired by Empress of Another World and A Capable Maid.).
