Dear esteemed guest,
You have been invited to the annual Courtly Masquerade. Please note that this ball is strictly clandestine, and this invitation is for your eyes, and your eyes only. Transportation will be arranged via carriage, and you will find yourself at the Arcane Manor at the stroke of midnight. We will have you know that the contents of this invitation can only be seen by you, and if shown to anyone else, you will find yourself in an immensely humiliating situation. Please refrain from doing so to keep your pride intact. If you would like to join in on the fun tonight, do remember to light this parchment of paper with a candle. And if you, very unfortunately, would not like to take part in this ball, simply place this in a tub of water. Ladies, don your best gowns, and gentleman, your best suits. Please do not forget your masks. We shall see you at the masquerade.
Sincerely,
The Hosts

A Waltz of Daggers
[UPDATE: new characters/new chapters/fixed the lines, misspells, and grammar] A grand royal ball, shimmering chandeliers, and orchestral music filled the air. The Kingdom of Valtoria and the Malverith Empire have been at odds for years, their rivalry was as deep as their bloodlines. Tonight, however, peace talks force Princess Ellie Avery and Prince Callahan Saville into the same ballroom, where masks of courtesy barely hide the tension between them. Ellie, the sharp-tongued and defiant princess, has no patience for Callahan's arrogance. The cold prince and heir to the Malverith Empire sees her as a political nuisance, yet he can't ignore the way her dress glows under the chandeliers, nor the fire in her eyes when she speaks. They're forced into a dance, every step a battle, every glance a challenge. As they twirl across the ballroom, their words are laced with venom, their gazes smoldering with unspoken tension. Does Ellie step on his foot accidentally? Does Callahan pull her closer, whispering a threat... Or something dangerously close to a compliment? Will the dance end with them parting in furious or lingering just a moment too long? If you're into an enemies-to-lovers trope and plottiest plot, this is for you.
The Inured Villainess
Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Terminé
Ruby Locket : Midnight's Ball
"This might seem a little abrupt but I fear I might die if I do not say it", he laughed. "I feel drawn to you for some reason. I've truly never felt this way for any woman before". "WOMAN??

In an attempt to escape his abusive life, Amari ends up catching the eye of Prince Nicholas who is in search of a bride. However, things go south once he gets caught and the prince is yet to find out that his beloved masked princess is actually, a masked prince.Terminé
Venomously, yours
With the Kingdom Heir coming-of-age celebration fast approaching, the search for a match begins. It is decreed a dance will be held; an anonymous masked ball. !!! THIS STORY IS FOR A CONTEST!!! ~~~ 12 princes 4 weeks 1 choice What can go wrong? Everything! The last thing Elide wanted in her life was to choose her other half according to her father's rules. 12 princes from all over the Kingdom of Amaris and other kingdoms have come to test their luck... But nothing is easy for Elide, especially when her father has the right to make the final choice. But don't let that bring you down because Elide has a plan. She is going to escape this choosing... The news of 4 murders in one night has been spread all over the kingdom. That is nothing weird on a huge kingdom, right? Wrong! 4 princes have been murdered, no one knows who did this, people have chosen their suspects but nothing makes sense. The biggest question is how all 4 princes who were part of the forced-choosing were murdered. As if this is not enough more trouble lines itself in Elide's life, someone's behind her life. A trap is been set. Does she fall for it? Only time can tell. What happens with everyone is really hard to tell......but I can only give one warning: Appearances can be deceptive. ~~~ Co-written by me (@bo0k__nerd) and @shub2005Terminé

To Avoid Falling In Love
Being invited to the crown princes birthday as a potential courting partner isn't something you can ignore easily, even if you are his younger brother's closest friend. Alphaea Raze, the duke's daughter, is stuck in the middle of this issue. When she gets invited to His Highness, Cyrus Arcane's birthday she wants to hurl. Getting there is even worse, as the king and queen scrutinize her ever movement and the other young ladies around her act like they have never seen a man before. And what is the icing on the cake you may ask? That would have to be that Cyrus Arcane seems to be an asshole she immediately can't stand. Going to this party may be the death of her, literally. How are you even supposed to fall in love with such a rude man anyways?Terminé
