Long may she reign.
Queen Eleanor is the Puppet Master, and only her little shadow puppet-her daughter-is aware of this.
Princess Aurelia is a Witch and a coward. Only the victims she's failed to kill deem her the latter.
Donning her mother's cloak, Aurelia Core ventures to Nowhere-the land the treasonists are stranded on-to put a curse on them orchestrated by the Queen.
A minor curse that'll be the cause of a massacre.
Enjoy the performance.

The King's Courtier

The entire globe is ruled by a single immortal king - King Sulfur. Continents are now "categories" separating people in terms of talent. Aurelia, the protagonist, is apart of the beauty category. Although Elexia is a world in which everyone is satisfied, those in the beauty and slavery categories still face oppression. Those in her category are to become escorts and prostitutes when they're of age, not given an alternative choice in contrast to those in every other category. Aurelia was born to become the king's personal escort despite her impeccable talents in each category and when she was taken to the castle, she kept true to herself and held on to her sharp tongue. She soon realized that the castle hides many secrets. She was met with the anonymous eight who were King Sulfur's closest friends. No one knew their true purpose and looks beyond the castle's court because the castle's magic would erase everyone who stepped out's memory of them. The two strongest of the eight turn out to be the main love interests of Aurelia. While she tries to resolve her unrequited feelings for a man she formerly despised, she realizes that she has grown attached to the king. She simultaneously wrestles feelings for her old best friend and tries to discover with whom her heart truly lies. TW: oppression, sexism, vulgar language and scenes. Mature content and intimate scenes present.
