Adelaide Rolf is losing everything. Her family was first. Her pride was second. Her free will to marry for love is next. If she cannot solidify her friendships with the other Lords and Ladies of Arifald and overthrow the King's rule, she will have no choice but to marry him, the very man responsible for her losses in the first place.
  
  Calcaneus DeMurr is proud. His parents were killed in the Revolution, and now his sister Cecily is all he has left. But Calcaneus has a plan to gain power over the most powerful man in the world: the King. The only problem is, he needs to marry his sister to the King in order to complete it.
  
  Pyralis Carisio has been struggling to govern her lands with her older brother Evan, who is doing all he can to prevent her from seizing her proper and equal place on the throne. When she discovers his plan to sell her to the King, she is determined to gather all her allies and lead an army against him, family or not.
  
  Stephan Peverell shut himself in the North for years after the Revolution. But two things are inviting him to gather an army and leave his secluded life: the hand of Cecily DeMurr, and the injustice of the King.
  
  Evan Carisio has been forming a master plan for years, a master plan to gain power and claim himself as King. In order to do it, he needs to clear his way of obstacles. His only obstacle is his one and only ally, Calcaneus DeMurr. 
  
  The Revolution overthrew all peace and trust. The Lords and Ladies of Arifald no longer know the motives and desires of the people who were once their childhood friends. Old alliances are broken as  sinister plans and murderous goals are revealed. On top of it all, there is always the fear of the King's Rage, the two most fearsome assassins in the King's guard. One wrong move can mean death in the middle of the night, or war the next morning. 
  
  Beware the Wrath of the King.

One Day More - a Sartorias-deles fanfic by micamoney
44 parts Complete
Iris Theren has grown up in a small town near the Niam River her entire life. Composed of under 200 people, you'd think residents would know who she was, but her parents have made that impossible, going so far as to not even report her birth when it occurred twenty-three years ago. Cetus and Cassiopeia Theren at one point imagined themselves to be esteemed members of the court, but they overheard whispered questions regarding their loyalties to the crown. Thus, they left Remalna-city years before Iris was born. Their resentment and dislike of the Renselaeus family traveled with them. In their minds, it was the Renselaeuses who caused their fall from "grace" and "good-standing." Only a minor detail that no one truly liked them in the first place. From the moment they left Remalna-city--from the moment Vidanric Renselaeus ascended to the throne with his wife, Meliara Astiar, at his side--they quietly plotted their revenge. Alaraec Renselaeus, firstborn of Mel and Danric and crown prince of Remalna, has now seen twenty-four name days. The exact year the prince is traditionally determined to be old enough to take up some of his royal duties...including finding a potential bride. And thus Cetus and Cassie perceive the moment to strike has finally arrived. NOTE: The setting, history, a couple of the characters, and some of the concepts in this particular story are inspired by Sherwood Smith's novels Crown Duel and Court Duel. One Day More (working title) occurs twenty-five years AFTER the conclusion of Court Duel, basically an alternate future outside of Smith's Remalna's Children novellas.

"Is it wrong for me to want my own wife?" his own body was nearly pressed against hers and he rested his head between her head and shoulder. "It is when you, just days before, resented the very fact that I was alive." she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. "Maybe I've had a change of heart." he looked at her. She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely. "I wouldn't believe you." she rested her head against the wall as her heart pounded in her ears.

"There's a saying my people use in times like this" "Like this?... how often do you people get tied up to trees in the forest at midnight?!" I snapped "Do you wanna hear the saying or not?" I sigh "Fine...what is the stupid saying, oh I mean the wise proverb you galshitters use" I roll my eyes I hear him chuckle softly at the other side of the tree "It goes... when you lock your heart, the walls you build become your own prison" I take a deep breath before speaking "HOW THE HELL DOES THAT APPLY HERE?!!?!!" Princess Isadora is the third daughter of the six royal siblings of Aldoria. Her Father the king is growing ill and soon has to step down so her oldest brother, Elias, can take to the throne. With threats of war against neighboring kingdoms, Isadora has been chosen, more like forced to marry Prince Lysander of Galdora, in order for their kingdoms to find peace with each other. Isadora is not your typical kind, caring Snow White of a princess, she's harsh, mean and even cruel. She might look nice but her heart is allergic to love and affection, the very thought of being in love with someone and being a wife to a man is repulsive to her. Lysander on the other hand, has a cold and stoic persona, or so people think. He's actually a very kindhearted person who can't bear the sight of others suffering. But that doesn't mean he's weak, he can be very hotheaded and strict if it comes down to it. Maybe he's too confident, flirty and cocky, but he's still a good person. Sometimes. Both are very stubborn and don't take no for an answer. But now that they don't have a choice but to be wedded for the benefit of their kingdoms, will they be able to open their hearts and give in to their growing attraction for one another, or will the pressures of war get to them first?
