*A small side-project of mine I completed within a week. Contains some strong language and vague descriptions of sex (nothing graphic). Not worthy of a mature rating, in my opinion, but definitely not for too young or easily-offended readers.

Loyalties
Abd i'Adhith has always done everything for their kingdom, everything they were asked to do. But when their ruler suddenly abandons them on enemy territory, their whole world is flipped upside down, especially since this enemy kingdom seems ideal and welcoming. But it's not so easy turning the page on a kingdom you gave your entire life for, even if it would mean a better life. Torn between loyalty, betrayal, love, hate, identity, culture, beliefs, religion, family, friends, and acceptance, Abd i'Adhith only tries to survive through their loss without loosing themselves in the process. I'm really looking forward to constructive criticism, so feel free to let me know what you think of each chapter.

Royal Love
Ordinarily, arranged marriages are seen as the worst way to be with someone. However, via letter correspondence, two princes continuously fawn over one another. Never in their wildest of imaginations, would they have pictured each other in such a particular situation, where their best dreams and worst nightmares would become their new reality. ~ Please note that this was a roleplay that my friend and I did a year ago. Neither of us have English as a first language so please bear with us and our errors - and if there's any inconsistencies, please refrain from attacking us for it. We did this for fun and wanted to share it, letting you have fun reading as we did writing it. Lucas doesn't belong to me, however, I have permission to publish this.
