Anastasia von Titania is the crown princess of the kingdom of Titania. Set to marry a hot-shot Prince from the faraway lands, she has spent every day of her life dreaming of the day of her betrothal. Yet when the day arrives, to her great dismay, the Prince is nothing like his description. He is vile, mean, and lacks the very basics of human respect. Seeing as there is no way out of their arranged marriage, Anastasia takes a leap of faith and escapes from the Palace.  As she trudges through the night, she doesn't get far before she encounters a guard. While he threatens to send her back, she somehow manages to convince him otherwise. Not before long, she finds herself being welcomed into his home and into his life. Bit by bit, as they spend more time together, their bickering only seems to increase. Yet as much as their bickering may seem endless, their time together is drawing to a close as Anastasia's royal duties begin piling up and her betrothal begins his pursuit of her whereabouts. Will what she and the guard share survive after she returns to the palace? Or will their affections perish under the weight of the crown?

In the kingdom of Allenia, it is a law that royals marry royals, and peasants marry peasants. The kingdom has been that way for thousands of years; that is, until Caspian met Farah. Caspian, the future King of Allenia, has always obeyed the rules, to a certain level. He's the only child of the royal family, and therefore, will be the one to take the crown. He's had everything he's ever wanted his whole life. If Caspian wanted a horse, he got a horse. If he wanted a new suit, he got a new suit. If he wanted a girl, he got that girl. Although Caspian was always told 'yes', he was and is amazingly humble and selfless; always putting his kingdom first. But what will happen when Caspian befriends Farah? Will things change? Farah has always been a wonderful, outgoing and kind girl. She doesn't exactly live the best life, but still finds a way to enjoy her day. When she finds Caspian, a rich young man who will soon rule the whole kingdom, she immediately realizes he doesn't favor every moment that's given graciously to him by the fates. She decides to help him out, by always trying to brighten his day and become a good and loyal friend to him. But what if he begins to feel more? She knows her place, but will he put that into consideration when he realizes for his whole life she's been the one by his side; helping him through the tough life of royalty? Read on, to find out what happens between the royal family and the lower classes as two worlds that were never meant to cross begin to collide, and seem to go hand in hand.

‟Tonight shall be the first and last night that we spend together, Gianita, for I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟ ‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟ *** Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere. To her dismay, the Emperor prefers the companion of his young son instead of his new bride. There were no traces of his previous marriage, only that the wife died shortly after the Prince was born.

Forbbiden Love Princess & Guard☑️ by BeckyMerari1909
18 parts Complete
The Crowned Princess and her guard share a love that defies all expectations in their world, a place where the royal family is bound by tradition, and loyalty means everything. Princess Elara of Valorian, a poised and elegant young woman with a keen sense of duty, was raised in the royal palace, knowing her life was meant to be devoted to her kingdom. She walks a path paved with the expectations of her title and the future crown she will bear. But beneath the crown, she yearns for something deeper, for a connection that transcends the boundaries of royal obligation. Her personal guard, a skilled and fiercely loyal knight, has stood by her side for years. Despite his humble background, he has proven his worth through his dedication, bravery, and silent protectiveness over the princess. He knows his place is to serve her, to be her shield, never to cross the line into the dangerous territory of affection. And yet, as time passed, the bond between them grew stronger, turning from duty into something forbidden and powerful. In secret moments, away from the eyes of the court, the two have found solace in each other's company, exchanging stolen glances and whispered words. The princess finds in her guard not just a protector, but an equal who understands her struggles, her fears, and her desires for a life not entirely dictated by the crown. Their love, though forbidden, stands as a delicate balance between the weight of their duties and the pull of their hearts. To act on their feelings would mean defying the very kingdom they both vowed to serve, but to deny them would be to deny the deepest truth of who they are. Their story is one of tension, longing, and a love that might never truly be theirs to claim-unless they find the courage to rewrite their fate.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
