Royal Malice
Regina Edana Anderson, the sole heir of the Anderson Duchy. A princess with the brightest green eyes and many talents. All things are set for her to sail through in life.
Till one day she hears about the death of her uncle and learns that her fiancé's family had planned it. It's time to take revenge on all who betrayed her. She kills her fiancé in a fury and takes over the throne in a time when only men had the right to rule.
But changing the rules is not so easy especially when the nobles suggest she marry her fiancé's brother who was the mastermind of this little game. But luckily when the Crown Prince of the Raleigh Empire, Theodore, the future king considered a dangerous lunatic, comes to her & offers a contract marriage she has no choice but to accept putting forth some conditions for their alliance.
A bloodthirsty princess and a lunatic crown prince. What could go wrong?
____
I knew Theodore was a lunatic, but I wasn't sure if the word was enough to describe him. Especially now when I see him jumping off the cliff. He, the future of the empire just jumped trying to reach out for my hand as I was falling down.
He grabbed my hand and held me tightly in his arms. He turned us around so he would hit the shallow stream of the river below us first, not me. But I couldn't understand why. Why would someone do this? As if he could hear my thoughts, he answered with the same arrogant smile on his face,
"I made a promise to never let go of your hand. Even if it leads me to my demise, I would follow you—even into death."
Yes, Lunatic isn't enough. He is downright deranged.

Chapter: Ch - 10 Burden of PrideReginaThe guests had already started to leave. Minister Knox was waiting for me to finish talking and visit the Grand Duke’s palace, and that’s when Jasper appeared in front of me.Polished as always. Cloaked in a gentleman’s concern that felt as hollow as his heart.“My lady,” he said smoothly, stepping beside me as though we were old friends sharing grief. “I hope you can manage things well in this difficult time. We are always here when needed.” My eyes met his, and I gave him a faint smile. I could hear the words he did not say aloud. He wanted me to talk about yesterday's incident. He must be wondering why no one has brought it up yet. I had told my knights not to disclose the incident, and act like nothing happened. Jasper, however, of course knew all his assassins were murdered.Jasper did not seem surprised or defeated watching me here today, which meant his purpose was not to kill me; it was to just attack me. So everyone would see how people are not intimidated by a woman

Chapter: Ch - 9 Pearl Black TearsRegina“So tragic. First her guardian, then her fiancé…”“It seems bad luck clings to her. Any man close to her doesn’t survive.”“It's almost scary to imagine when she actually inherits the title. What misfortune would that bring?”Carefully worded insults dressed as concern were all I heard when the Grand Duke’s funeral was held. Many high-ranking nobles came to attend and pay their respects. All dukes, counts, barons, the Northern Duke, and even the King’s right hand, the Chief Minister, who stood in place of the old king, attended.But beneath all the veils and black robes, I had seen nothing but calculation from almost every noble who had attended. They did not come here to grieve, but to weigh their chances.I stood among them, wearing a high-collared black velvet gown, and my hair swept into a sleek bun beneath a sheer lace veil. I was surrounded by whispered condolences and careful glances. They weren’t mourning the Grand Duke. They were here to see who would take the seat of

Chapter: Ch - 8 Emerald Green EyesThe inn’s hearth crackled low as the Crown Prince Theodore stepped inside, the familiar scent of roast and pine-scented smoke filling his lungs, and the hearty chuckles and cheers filled his ears.Jonathan, his closest aide and childhood friend, was his reluctant companion. When the Crown Prince decided to go for another one of his great adventures, Jonathan had no choice but to go to take care of the mess he would create on his way. And now here he was following right behind, dust clinging to his boots, exhaustion written all over his face.“You know,” Jonathan muttered as they dropped onto the nearest wooden seat, “this is the fifteenth time. Fifteenth, Your Highness. I swear by the heavens, if I get another blister because of your whimsical escapes, I’ll switch to palace gardening instead. At least I can close my eyes for a moment or two to relax.”Theodore looked up at him with a small smirk as he reminded Jonathan, “I did not ask you to follow me; rather, I did my best to make

Chapter: Ch - 7 A Formidable AllyReginaA disruption at the southern docks, just as I returned to court… the implications were calculated. But it's too simple. There was no doubt Jasper was behind this. He was either testing the water or was too arrogant and underestimated me. By the time the carriage pulled up to the well-lit inn, the moon had begun its slow climb across the sky. Watching the crest of the knights, the innkeepers immediately showed me the way to my chambers.A maid was assigned to assist me with the bath. Once bathed, I slipped into a fresh nightgown.I kept the room dim, curtains parted just enough for moonlight to trickle in. My sword leaned against the wall. I lay in bed with only a thin linen shift, skin still damp. And yet sleep wouldn’t come. My thoughts were still sifting through it when I heard it. A whisper of movement. Not the wind. The kind of sound made by someone trained to erase it from the common room in front of my bed chambers.I swiftly moved and blew out the lantern near the wi

Chapter: Ch - 6 Disruption & DistractionRegina It was just a day before the funeral, and my enemies didn’t wait a single moment to start their play.“There’s been unrest at the docks, Your Grace,” Lucas, my aide, said. “All shipmen are threatening to initiate a protest; it could delay all our trade.”I put away the documents for the funeral preparation in my hands slowly. “Explain.”“Your Grace, the shipmen are in uproar. They’ve returned from their voyage, but still haven’t received their due. They were promised half before setting sail and the rest upon return, but the merchants have not even paid them the part promised before sailing. And stated vague reasons for the delay, the sailors still took the sail, thinking they would get all the money on their return. Yet they are being told to wait without any proper reasons. They are enraged, and their families are waiting. They are set not to carry another cargo till this issue is resolved.”My fingers curled around the edge of my seat. The Grand Duchy of South depended on i

Chapter: Ch - 5 Fear in HeartsReginaJust the voice of this woman was irritating. But today she is getting on my nerves.I held Margaret’s gaze, my expression unreadable. “Lady Margaret, firstly, I already have the unwavering support of the ministers who served alongside the Grand Duke,” I said calmly. “And secondly, I suggest you tend to your own house’s affairs before concerning yourself with mine. Beyond that, why should I entrust the Duchy’s matters to you over all those who have stood by us for generations, remain steadfast in their loyalty?”Margaret tensed, her lips pressing into a thin line. The gathered ministers, all steadfast allies of the Grand Duke, murmured in agreement. Their support was unwavering. It was a simple, now they know that there is no scope for a marriage alliance, they are just like the rest of the nobles. They no longer stand first in line when it comes to this territory. The favor they once held over others is now gone.Jasper stepped forward, his voice measured yet firm. “Your Grace,

Chapter: Chapter 143 Inevitable“It was a love that was inevitable” 3 years later Natalie enters a club. Loud music was blasting and it was filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat. She walked further in the crowd to the VIP section. There she found the person she was looking for, surrounded by half-naked women dancing around him as he drank while looking at them with his lecherous gaze. Her jaw clenched looking at the audacity of this man, prancing around here with different women every night despite having a wife. She looked at the papers in her hand as her fist tightened around them before she walked over to him with a deadly gaze. The women were irritated by her coming in between them but after one look at her calm but deadly eyes they ran away. She saw how his eyes were filled with frustration because of this disruption, but he still didn't realize it was Natalie standing a few meters away. Natalie's anger rose further as she stood in front of him before throwing the papers on the table in front of him.

Chapter: Chapter 142 Baby girl8 months later Natalie woke up groaning slightly, caressing her belly. She was near the due date now. Sighing she got up to go to the bathroom. After she was done showering she wore a white summer dress. Getting out of the bathroom she saw Adrian sitting on the bed waiting for her. He immediately got up and walked to her to kiss her forehead. Natalie smiled lightly but she had a slight headache along with back pain and not to mention how her feet were killing her. Adrian saw right through that tight smile knowing she must be in some pain and helped her sit on the bed. He brought a tray forward which had all her favorite food. Natalie didn't really have any weird cravings but she craved crazily for chocolates and cheese. Not together though. Natalie smiled lightly at the food in front of her, knowing Adrian cooked it all. He didn't trust any maid to cook for her. He would stay at home most of the time for her and cook instead, sometimes Dimitri and Maxim would too cook for her. I

Chapter: Chapter 141 A Flirt 3 years later Natalie hesitatingly looked up from the ground into Thomas's eyes. She finally gathered the courage and told him everything about his real parents. Her heart was thumping loudly as she waited to hear him but he was blankly gazing at her. He was just nine years old but probably more mature than an 18-year-old today. Thomas sighed almost in disappointment making Natalie hold her breath as negative thoughts started coming into her head. Was he blaming her? Did he not see her as his mother anymore? Did he not love her anymore? Would he not want to live with her anymore? What if he started hating— She was pulled out of her thought as she felt his finger wiping a lone tear that fell from her eye without her even realizing it. A frown was visible on Thomas's face as he wiped the tear away and then looked at Natalie with a small scowl. "Did you really think I would blame you for something you were never at fault for?" Natalie could hear the slight anger in his voice, sadne

Chapter: Chapter 140 The reckless duo6 months later Adrian and Isaac looked at each other and sighed, they were surrounded by the police. They got out of their cars with their guns pointed at them and yelled, "Hands in the air and drop your weapons." Isaac raised an eyebrow at that but Adrian cleared his throat looking at him, signaling him to do as said. Reluctantly they both threw the gun in their hand on the ground. Adrian looked at Isaac, as he dropped another gun on the ground. The cops were right in front of them as one yelled, "Drop all your weapons. Fast" "Like I need any to fight you.." he muttered under his breath, Adrian held back the smirk forming on his lips. Then Isaac proceeded to through five guns strapped onto him on the ground and when the cops thought he was done, he started dropping a few knives he had with him as well. The cops were a little frightened they knew who these two were but they still held a gallant look on their faces. Their jaw dropped to the ground when they saw so many knives and

Chapter: Chapter 139 College students"After the dark nights, there is always a sunrise..." Natalie walked into her room, her eyes on the book in her hand. Adrian was sitting on a chair as he too had a few books scattered on the table. "Just two more weeks" Natalie sighed as she sat down on Adrian's lap. His attention immediately turned to her as he wrapped his arm around her waist. He looked at her with utmost love. She looked up from her book feeling his gaze and raised an eyebrow in question. He didn't answer with words but smiled softly and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Two more weeks alone." He corrected Natalie making her chuckle as she nodded. After the whole story was finally revealed and Roman paid for what he did. Natalie and Adrian were forced to go back to the US to finish the degrees they had left in between. They were hesitant at first but Dimitri urged them to finish it while he and Maxim will handle the mafia business. Not that it really needed any special attention now. It was working splendidly

Chapter: Chapter 138 Revenge is taken"Guess I never knew love how love knew me..." Roman was laying on his luxurious chair. Pride filled in his heart. He won. He won after all these years. The moment Natalie died he had won. He chuckled as he drank some scotch. He was the king of the mafia world now. Everyone feared him. They all called him the best leader of all. He killed his brother's murderers. He took Maxim's revenge. He chuckled as he opened his cupboard and got out that gun. The sniper rifle he used to kill his brother. This was where his story began. This was where he started to write his fate. He suddenly heard some commotion outside. He got up and walked out curiously. It was all peaceful now so what was this about. Then a man came running to him. "Sir Dimitri attacked us!" Roman's eyes widened. Didn't he kill him? "What the hell are you saying, you idiot! He is dead." He snarled at the man's face with anger laced in his voice. He shook his head in fear as he spoke, "Sir he is right outside. He is aliv
