Author: V. Vale
last update publish date: 2026-04-25 23:34:00

The first time I heard it, it was just a soft talk in the market. A few words from a woman buying apples, her voice low and hurried. I almost didn’t hear it, but then it came again, louder this time, from a poor man I’d shared food with a few days before. He looked at me with wide, worried eyes, not seeing Liora, but seeing me, Lioren, the boy who sometimes shared.

"Did you hear?" he choked out, his voice breaking. "The Emperor… he’s marrying the girl who saved him. They sa

  • Crossdressing For The Emperor    Chapter 8 : Kaelric’s POV

    The Emperor’s rooms, usually a place where I could think straight, plan, and feel my strength back, now felt like a prison. The shiny wooden floors of my study seemed to laugh at me with every step I took. I walked back and forth, the sound of my boots like a drum for my growing anger. My advisors had given me the royal order, something needed, a way to show Kaldor its Emperor was back, strong and in charge. It was meant to heal the kingdom, to bring everyone together. But the most important part of that plan, the woman meant to be my Empress, the symbol of hope I had so boldly announced, was gone. Vanished like smoke. How could she had just vanished. What could have happened? "She was here one moment, and then… gone," I growled, my voice tight and rough. Anger, cold and sharp, burned inside me. I had sent out my best men, the soldiers who had promised their lives to me. I had told them clearly: find Liora. Bring her to me. I needed her here, with me, to keep the promise I had made,

    The first time I heard it, it was just a soft talk in the market. A few words from a woman buying apples, her voice low and hurried. I almost didn’t hear it, but then it came again, louder this time, from a poor man I’d shared food with a few days before. He looked at me with wide, worried eyes, not seeing Liora, but seeing me, Lioren, the boy who sometimes shared."Did you hear?" he choked out, his voice breaking. "The Emperor… he’s marrying the girl who saved him. They say she’ll be Empress. Liora, they call her."Those words hit me hard, like I couldn’t breathe. Fear, cold and sharp, broke through the calm I was trying so hard to keep. It was so much worse than I had ever thought. I had run, thinking I was getting away from the trouble I had caused, trying to forget Liora and the dangerous game I had played. But now, my lie, my pretend life as Liora, wasn't just being found out – it was being cheered. It was being turned into a story for everyone in th

  • Crossdressing For The Emperor    Chapter 6 : Kaelric’s POV

    The room where the Emperor sits was colder than I remembered. Or maybe it was just me. The big, gold crown sat on its soft pillow, waiting. It felt strange, like a weight I was too weak to hold just a few days ago. My memory, which had been a jumbled mess of pain and confusion, was now clear and sharp. I saw images of people who had turned against me, like a bad scar. The kingdom was a mess, and I had just come back to try and fix it. But even with all the urgent things I had to do – finding the traitors, making sure our borders were safe, getting my power back – one picture stayed in my mind, clear and bright. It was the face of the young girl who had found me, who had saved my life when I was just a broken man in the woods. Liora. I remembered her soft voice, how she looked at me with quiet care, not fear like I was used to seeing on others’ faces. I remembered her gentle hands cleaning my wounds. And I remembered my own words, said when I

  • Crossdressing For The Emperor    Chapter 5 : Lioren’s POV

    When the Emperor’s men, in their shiny armor, took Kael away, a heavy quiet fell. It wasn’t a good quiet, like after a rain shower, but an empty feeling, like something important was gone. I stood alone in the clearing where my little shelter used to be. The dirt stuck to my old boots. The usual smells of pine and wet earth, which usually made me feel better, now felt sharp, like the ground itself was looking at me for what I’d done. This forest, my quiet place to rest between the tough days in Kaldor’s poor areas, now felt big and uncaring. It showed me the mess inside me.“Lioren you just lied to an emperor!” I said to myself, my eyes widening in so much shock that I could almost not feel myself anymore. I couldnt believe I did that. “No…I can’t be here any further. What if he changes his mind and come after me? I can’t…” I muttered thinking sharply about the hat next to do.My hands, rough and dirty from my life, squeezed the fabric of my shirt. I was just trying to feel something

    Chapter 4Lioren’s POVBy the time the soldiers got to our clearing, it was clear they were looking for one person. I could tell by how they walked. They moved with a clear plan, their steps sure and their group tight. They acted like they already knew where they were going. Even the sound of their armor was steady, showing they were trained, not just walking around.This wasn’t just a regular patrol. This was a search. And whoever, or whatever, they were looking for had led them here.I stayed where I was, just inside our shelter, my body tight as I listened. Everything I had learned over the years told me to run, to hide, to disappear before they saw me. But it was too late for that. They were too close.“Stay back,” I said quietly, not looking away from the doorway. For a moment, I thought Kael would obey. But then I heard him move behind me. It was a quiet sound, not of fear or worry. I turned just in time to see him step forward.“Kael—” The warning was too late. He moved past me

    The days after that felt almost calm, but I knew better than to trust it. In my life, calm never lasted. It was just a quiet time before something else happened. Still, I went along with it, because I had no other choice.Kael getting better changed things. At first, it was small. He moved with more confidence, stood longer without needing help, and spoke more surely. Soon, these small changes became big ones. He could walk across the room without help. He didn’t need to hold onto the wall to keep his balance. The injuries that had left him barely awake now seemed like small problems, not big ones.The way we were together changed. Before, I was in charge. I decided what happened in our small space. Now, I wasn’t so sure. It wasn't because he tried to take charge. It was because he didn't need me as much anymore.But he stayed. That was the part I didn't understand. He could have left when he was strong enough. Nothing was forcing him to stay in a place that offered so little. But eve
