emperor faith fiction france historical love napoleonbonaparte nobility passion regret romance struggles trust

I've lived my life in a simple manner. I'm a noblewoman from France who lives every day in luxury. Most women find my life quite desirable, but I don't really see why. All I do is lounge around my family's mansion whether I'm reading, playing piano, or simply taking a stroll in the gardens. 

My parents keep urging me to find a husband and settle down. They keep dragging me to every social event they partake in. They don't realize I'm not interested. 

I'm attending another party, putting on a fake smile and pretending to be friendly. I'm unaware that this party is to celebrate our leader and his army's many victories. What I know even less is that he has an interest in me. 

I'm trapped between my parents' wishes and his obsession. I don't even know what my heart wants. The only way to escape is to choose which side I rather fight on. 

The most troubling decision I have ever made is this one and there's no going back. 

Can I ever escape my gilded cage or will I come to find it as protection from the outside world?

Am I safer with him? Or should I have made a different choice that fateful day at that ridiculous party?All Rights Reserved

Perfect Without Scars .{major Construction} by Estyshawl

Back in this day and age, royalty no longer wedded royalty, simply because everyone now wanted to marry for love. Which is why a union like ours would have effortlessly drawn the crowd; peharps more enemies than friends. The marriage of a blooded royalty to a birthed royalty. Blue blood to blue blood. A union like ours, was bound to change lives to come, generations, eras even, and unwittingly... The life of my unborn child. BUT EVERYONE'S FORGOTTEN ONE RULE. "For a union to be made, royalty or no royalty, the bride and groom at least have to be present. Vows can't be made, if one of the pair gets missing. Or absent. So what happens when the bride gets kidnapped and killed? No. Don't despair. That's not the end of everything; its just the beginning, for even ghosts and corpses still have to hold on to their important earthly commitments they had, before they died. And as I take in my last couple of breaths, nothing else rips my heart apart more than the fact that my own wedding, that is supposed to have me as its bride, goes on without me. An imposter in my spot? Convenient. I hope she's also prepared to fuck my husband on our wedding night too? Don't they know that Chris knows every inch of the body of the woman he fell in love with? He'd know.. He has to... They'll all have to know... I can't exit this way. ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ___________________ ∞~•♦|| " I no longer know if I'm dead or alive. A corpse or a ghost. I exist in two realms at the same time, I live in two worlds and two different time frames all at once, and I, Ajora, have fallen in love with two different men who know two very different and conflicting sides of me. This my story." ||♦•~∞ ___________________ ¶> ROMANCE ¶> FANTASY ¶> THRILLER EstherDibie (Estyshawl♥)...

ᴛʏʀᴀɴᴛ's ᴏʙsᴇssɪᴏɴ by Shoujo_Site

[Discontinued] After dying in prison because an experiment, I went back 2 years before my death. My faith in the Imperial Family, my affection for my own family, all of it could go to hell! To do that, I went to the second prince of this Empire, Azazel von Elysian to seek for a cooperation. "I will help you become the Emperor. In return, make me your Empress by becoming the Emperor. I want everyone at my feet." With this agreement, we were bound by a bond where we would crush the Empire and create a new. I will make him the Perfect Tyrant. - "Verena, tell me what you desire. I'll give it to you with all my heart." He whispered softly in my ear while holding me from behind, as if to lock me in his embrace forever. "Why are you asking me this when we already reached our goals?" He tighten his embrace, burying his head onto my shoulder. "... I'm sorry, I just wanted to know whether you will leave me or not." "Is that so?" However, it appears that as time passes, he has developed a strong attachment to me, bordering on obsession. "I'm addicted to seeing more of the feeling that arose when you smiled at me and just me." He wouldn't let me escape from his golden cage that he created for me. "I'm the only one who can save you, Verena." - "Please don't leave me. I will do all you ask of me... just, please don't abandon me... if you do, I'll kill myself." My eyes went wide as shiver ran down my spine as I unconsciously stepped back because of his threat. That Tyrant Emperor that I created is kneeling on the floor and wailing in front of me, the one who has used him for years. As if he were a child who would be abandoned by his parents. Is it possible for me to get to the desired conclusion in this way? "If you're going to hell, Verena, please bring me along with you." *** | Side Note | - Cover : Canva

Irene's the type of girl I would never give a second glance to, the type I would deem average looking. And that's just not it. She's a chatter box who can't survive without physical affection. A complete opposite of me. I never had a need for a wife but with every innocent touch, every stupid smile, every word of hers my walls break down until I am left yearning for her with an intensity I can't even comprehend.
