Although, the alliance has been forged her loyalties to the king and her new betrothed are not as she portrays. The more ugly truths she discovers the harder it becomes for Averlee to overlook to stay on task. With her growing impertinence the King begins to take interest in challenging her to see whom will bow to who. Averlee must take greater care to balance on the sharp blade of lies and treachery to keep both her head and crown. One wrong move and she could lose both.
Complications arise when her lies and masks lead her to a young peasant that harbours as many secrets as she. But her arrival brings hope to the people of the oppressed nation. Rebellions form and the countrymen become divided on sticking to what has always been and what could be.
Change is coming as is the unpredictable reign of the Mendoza Queen.

Mondo Pastello | girlxgirl | Completed♕
She was the type to stare herself in the mirror and see someone else stare back. Someone who was free and light, being able to spread her wings like an unbound angel. She was neither chained to Heaven nor Hell. Howbeit, no matter how far she reached into the mirror, she could never step through as her ball-and-chain presented itself in the form of a crown. She was a princess with two faces, desperately trying to have a sense of freedom outside of her royal obligations. She found it in the form of a weakness: a passion with another human being. Her love for him and ballet had kept her chin high; her crown not slipping from her pastel hair. So why, why did it suddenly become so hard when a gothic gymnastic back-flipped into her life? Why were her heartstrings being tugged on by someone of her same gender? Why was it suddenly so difficult, so strenuous to keep living in her pastel world when this mysterious girl brought such bright colours with her?

❝My only one; my kingdom come undone.❞ The crown was never meant for him. Five years ago, the palace declared Queen Eloriayes' death an illness. Calyx has never believed it. In a kingdom ruled by queens, Crown Prince Calyx stands as an anomaly: measured, watched, and bound by a trial meant to test not his strength, but his obedience. While the court watches and the city whispers, he continues a quiet search for the truth, following the last places the queen visited before she died. But when Khair---the knight sworn to protect him and the closest friend he has not seen in years---returns to the capital, Calyx's carefully guarded investigation begins to unravel. Beneath the kingdom's fragile peace lies a conspiracy capable of destroying the crown itself. And the closer Calyx comes to the truth, the more he risks losing the one person he has never allowed himself to want. A slow-burn romantasy | crown prince × knight | mlm
