Finn has an honourable position; personal servant to the monarch of Cafi, a small country off the coast of France. He also has not-so-honourable a position; a man in love with another man, in the early 1800s. Oliver is being forced towards marriage, and Finn is being forced towards accepting his love is unrequited. As France begins to fall into another revolution, the world begins unravelling around them. Oliver has to fight to maintain the democracy he established, and Finn must cope with the reawakening of his less-than-ideal past as a con artist in the search for his long-lost brother. The two must learn who to trust and who not to trust as they begin to know each other more deeply than they every thought they could. Content Warnings Applicable to This Story: This book is set in the early 1800s, and I don't want to avoid talking about the horrendous things that happened to people of colour then. It will talk about slavery, but from a firm anti-slavery perspective, never glorifying or making excuses for it. Cafi itself is a fictional country and while I absolutely believe they would have had slave trade too (because most places did and I don't want to pretend they didn't), I want the book to include Oliver's fight to abolish slavery in his country. Otherwise, there may be previous mentions of abuse, but it will be extremely mild, nothing graphic, and the chapter itself will pre-warn you. Oliver's relationship with his family can be problematic at times. Please take care of yourself during any chapters that may be triggering for you.

 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. She falls first, he falls harder trope. ______________________________ This is a story I wanted to make from "A stepmother's marchen" or "The fantasy of a stepmother". With the characters Maximillian and Elizabeth. I so badly wanted to see their relationship Develop. None of this is my own
