Raised to kill without hesitation - and to hate the ruling system.
Disguised as one of the royal guards, she's sent on one mission: get close to the crown princess, earn her trust... and strike.
But the girl she meets isn't what she expected.
The princess isn't vainglorious, doesn't act superior - she's kind-?
What happens when she starts falling for the one person she was taught to despise... and trained to kill?
(The cover is only the first version because i didn't want to leave it like it was.
!This story won't be updated [probably] because the events of it happen AFTER Forced To Rule. It will still be worked on. But the chapters won't be updated until whole Forced To Rule is! ← at least that's the plan but i may get bored 😭. There is a chance that this story will probably change a lot, since i reread what i write and think it's terrible. The updates will be reaally slow, maybe faster now but once school starts again i won't have as much time to write. Hopefully my work isn't too alike with some other works on here 🙏)

The Other Silver Lady
The daughter of Persinia has been alone all her life, tucked away in a forgotten corner of the imperial palace with her sole maid as she spends her days reading books and attending a mandatory ball once in a while. Life is quiet for the most part...that is, until one day, she stumbles upon a book in the library that predicts the future! And this one says she will die when a lost princess shows up in a few years and all of her siblings will kill her to protect their new, favorite sister! Now our princess realizes that if she wants to live, she has to be strong enough to do everything herself - wield aura to counter dark ones, wield magic to protect herself from evil wizards, and know alchemy to protect herself from a poison-happy consort of the emperor keen on making sure her son is the last one standing as heir to the throne. In an empire waging an eternal war against the darkness just to exist, our princess finds herself picking up new skills, new friends, new enemies, and a lot more importance in the palace than before all while trying to just make herself unkillable so she can live silently reading books. Will she be able to unravel all the mysteries of the world that she wants to, or will all of the tasks the emperor asks of her and the troubles she creates for herself keep her from existing in peace? Will she be able to escape the palace before the "silver lady" of that book appears, or is her death inevitable? Well...Mephie doesn't really care, to be honest. She just wants everyone to stop bugging her so she can finally finish the latest book she's been reading...especially those annoying knights...and, well, everyone else too.
Love Is Love
LOVE FOR A LIFETIME CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE ITS 5 YEARS BEFORE THIS BOOK❤️❤️ My mom always said I was special. She told me I wasn't like all the other kids that used to bully the poor little blind black girl and I believed her....until she died and left me alone in this cold world. She left me like everyone else does but the only thing is it happened without her wanting to. That's why I could never hate her. That's why I can never give anyone the time of day that's why I stay alone. Studying, crying,passing all my classes, and living. That was until.... _________________________________________ He lifts my chin and I can tell he's staring into my lifeless eyes. "Stop doing that a Queen should always have her head held high and never let her crown fall, and if it slips your King will always be there to fix it," he whispers in the most gentlest way I have ever heard. "Do you really think I can be a Queen?" I ask "I know you are a born Queen and a Queen should always have a King to make sure your crown never falls," he said and I smile even tho I since a double meaning behind it which I choose to ignore.

Our Conscious Fields; What is living?
Slow paced narrative set in a world awakened to panpsychism and innate abilities following the fall and rise of society. A gentle approach to world building with a bit of humor, romanticism, and just enough hints of drama without going into it. When everyone writes about how it could all go wrong or what happens after it does; who wants to read about what happens if it just goes right for once? Still conflict and drama but, the hard work is already done. Now you just get to see a glimpse of what happens in a reality where it all works out. Work in progress - Inspired by Ready Players?; One Chaotic Answer This will be a slower update than Ready Players? but hopefully be more full in edits and depth. Comments and suggestions considered, otherwise please enjoy as this book and story unfolds. Thank you

💫✩🍁♬ ₊˚.🫀⋆☾⋆⁺🍁₊✧💫 Aurelia Diggory has been hopelessly-shamelessly-in love with Mattheo Riddle since first year. Loudly affectionate, wildly persistent, and armed with a Hufflepuff heart too stubborn to quit, she's spent years chasing after the moody Slytherin boy with teasing flirtations and sunflower-sweet smiles. Mattheo, on the other hand, has spent just as many years pretending not to notice. But everyone else does-especially Cedric Diggory. Now graduated and far from Hogwarts, Cedric thought he was finally free from the chaos his sister trails like glitter. Until Elspeth, Aurelia's best friend, starts sending him regular letters. Detailed ones. About Mattheo. And kisses. And late-night "study" sessions. Cue the dramatic Howlers, echoing through the Great Hall with big brother fury and increasingly creative threats. But everything changes the day Mattheo finally snaps mid-argument-pulls her close, cuts her off, and kisses her like he's been dying to. Turns out, even a Riddle can fall for a Diggory. And Aurelia? She might've spent years chasing him... but now he's the one who can't let go. 💫✩🍁♬ ₊˚.🫀⋆☾⋆⁺🍁₊✧💫 *i do not own hp franchise *i only own my oc *its a mattheo riddle x oc *no warComplete
