Zaketa presents a carefully crafted mask to the world; one of sharp edges, privilege, and bravado. Only those closest to her, her most loyal guards, know the real Zaketa. And she is so much more than what her warlord father has crafted her to be.

In the somewhat distant future, disease and hunger is commonplace. The celebration honoring the King's only daughter's coming of age is to be the event of the decade. It is to be a great leveler of men, a chance to and eat and drink to their heart's content. 

While her father sees an opportunity building for alliances, Zaketa is disgusted by the idea of being presented as a prize to carefully selected suitors. Masked and flanked by her loyal guard, Zaketa intends to use the opportunity to make an impression on her people and let her father know she'll more than just a tool at his disposal.

"They think I am just some princess they can control. That they can just order me what to do and have it done! I'm not a servant." Princess Emmalyne stopped short and winced. "Sorry." Her servant who was fastening the buttons on the back of her dress shook their head. "It's nothing Princess, please continue." Emmalyne gave a heavy sigh and looked back into the mirror. "It's just- I'm a person too. I understand I have duties and I know I have a role to fulfill. But can't I do them my way?" "It just not fair." The servant replied. "I understand." "Yes!" Emmalyne cried." Exactly." Hopping down from the pedestal Emmalyne sat in a chair to have her shoes placed on her feet. "Thank you, Kennedy, you're the only person who truly understands me." The servant merely nodded. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Emmalyne Faust. Heir to the throne in the Kingdom of Legibus.

He did not move from the spot where he stood. He did not hear Jace calling out to him. He did not notice the key slip from his fingers, making a little clang on the cobblestone floor.

The Duchess Cannot Sleep || ONC 2021 by Kehanni
26 parts Complete
Duchess Andreya Marivatan was murdered at the age of twenty-two. It was during the hours the pool of night was deepest, Andreya soundlessly asleep in silk sheets behind the curtains of her elegant canopy bed. By the time she awoke to a noise, the deed had already been done and her sheets dripped with a deep vermillion stain. That was the first time Andreya met death, and it would not be the last. The death that knew everyone did not know Andreya - not even so much as her name - and because of it Andreya could not die. So she survived and forgot, the stains on her bedsheets becoming naught but a dream. It took many years for Andreya to realize she had not grown a day older since she had died, however, and that in a society where status is dictated by age, it would not be long before she had visitors on her doorstep asking questions she did not know how to answer. The reason behind her youthful features. The explanation behind her lack of scars. Andreya Marivatan was an impossible woman who wanted nothing more than to have died the night she was killed, and Andreya Marivatan was determined to get her wish. ❉ ❉ ❉ - First draft: COMPLETE & EDITING (all suggestions welcome :>) - Shortlister in the Open Novella Contest 2021: prompts 22, 57, 62, 66, 71, and 87.
