A Beast's Tale: Act 2 (His Princess)

To say that the last month has been eventful would be an understatement.

Chevalier Michel is accustomed to complex political problems, and he has that side of matters well in hand, of course. But in a personal sense, he was almost too late. He almost lost Ivetta, the maid who turned his world upside-down and found a place in his heart. He won't allow that to happen again. There can be no more mistakes. He's staying with her throughout her long recovery, even if that means abandoning the competition for Rhodolite's throne and traveling to Obsidian for her medical treatment.

She isn't a maid anymore. She's a princess-his princess-and he won't hand her over to his long-time best friend and rival without a fight.

The Brutal Beast and the Conqueror Beast are in direct competition for the first time. Two unbeatable generals. Two geniuses. One misstep, and their personal dispute will ignite a war.

That's assuming Ivetta keeps quiet and lets them decide her future. But when has she ever done that?
