The Third Princess, the Omen of Death. That was the title that had been bestowed on Cesia ever since her body first touched soft linen. The warmth of her mother's arms was nothing but a dream as her life turned into a nightmare. Her brethren, the third princesses, ceased to experience life beyond their young years and she was expected to have the same fate.

Until she didn't.

Her carriage was prepared with great care for the first time, her dress made with great detail for elegancy and beauty, her body adorned with jewels that were treated like their value weighed more than her right to live. She was on her way to the Grand Duke Marseille. 

Unaware of the future riddled by the past, will she be able to cut the ties linking the threads of her life and the third princesses before her?

The Flower Longed Death by jezxzica
36 parts Complete Mature
She longed death to her sorrow Death to all of her woes She longed death of her present To return to once known She longed death of her secrets For they feast upon her She longed death to her virtue It was help no longer She longed to forget this death That echo pains her much But death reaps all he calls for And she he longs to touch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected life in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've been looking at it since I cannot hold eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Word Count: 147,000 This is the first book of a series (it might end with the second who knows). Please read the introduction for triggers! Thanks for giving this story a try :)
The Emperor's Concubine by JiHoneyLee
178 parts Complete Mature
The Emperor's Concubine duology. Book one and two are combined. *** The Emperor's Concubine *** The world seems harsh and cruel, especially when you've been locked away, unaware of the possibility to a different kind of life than the one you're used to. Princess Celestia Avri was raised in isolation. Kept hidden away from the outside world and tormented by her own family, her world is suddenly flipped once she's taken to the ruling grand empire, the Cypheler Empire. Princess Celestia's kingdom brought to ruin, her name and title stripped, she's forcibly taken as possession. The neglected princess is made to live a far different life as a concubine for the notoriously cruel, Emperor Cabel. *** The Emperor's Concubine Two *** With the cold hearted emperor, and the once neglected princess engaged, bliss fills each day as their wedding approaches. Their days of serenity are suddenly disrupted, when a devastating incident shakes the entire empire, and causes the appearance of someone from the princess' past. A curse of destruction and chaos falls upon the land, and the fate of everyone rests on the shoulders of the emperor's fiancée. *The Emperor's Concubine 2 chapters will be titled with B.2, standing for Book 2* (Contains: Assault, abuse, violence, trauma, sex, and cursing. In no way am I trying to 'romanticize' abuse.) ***Trigger warnings placed at the top of chapters. The trigger warning will be placed when topics of abuse, assault, and trauma are written in the chapter*** ***COMPLETED!***
