Gilded Princess Novels & Stories

But my real focus wasn’t my reflection. My focus was on the project. The clients. And the determination not to let Damien Hayes think I am not capable. I wore my old black heels. They pinched slightly, but they made me feel taller. _____________________________________________ At the Grand Arc Hotel, my nerves were like many little sparks tickling my skin. Golden light filtered down through the chandeliers. The chandeliers had a shape similar to an upside down crystal fountain. Light reflected off the marble floor. The floor was polished. Shadows of moving people became moving shadows.

A challenge. A flicker of amusement curved Alaric’s mouth, sharp and dangerous. “Alaric Moore.” The name rippled through the hall like a warning bell. Briarcrest royalty. The heir. The untouchable. And now, by law and ceremony alone, had tied to her. “Congratulations,” Nyx said coolly. “Do you want a medal?” A few students inhaled sharply. Someone laughed, then stopped as if realizing laughter itself might be a punishable offense.

CASSY The Gilded Cage doesn't look like a place where desperate girls sell their souls. It looks like a five-star hotel. All marble and gold, ambient lighting that probably costs more per fixture than my current monthly rent, doormen in actual uniforms who open the doors with white-gloved hands and don't meet your eyes. The kind of place I used to walk into without a second thought, back when I had a trust fund and a last name that meant something. Now I'm here to auction off the only thing I have left.

The moment she saw the mark on his face, she lunged forward, grabbing my handbag and shouting at the top of her voice. “My brooch! My sapphire brooch is gone. You stole it!” The accusation exploded through the café. Every head turned. Victoria immediately faced the crowd, her voice breaking into dramatic sobs. “Everyone, look at her. She couldn’t trap my son, so now she’s stealing from me. That brooch was an anniversary gift from my husband. It’s worth over two million dollars.” Lily covered her mouth, eyes wide, the picture of shock, though the satisfaction beneath it wasn’t entirely hidden.

Rain gasped. That had to be her, but she couldn’t believe it. Her hair was prettily braided and swept up from her face in a princess’s coronet. She hadn’t paid much attention when the shopkeeper had applied makeup, other than enjoying the attention and praying she wouldn’t look like a clown when she was done.

The girl in that mirror was lovely, and this had to be a dream.

Kill me now. "Show me that purple one." Princess held open her hand for the seamstress to give her the fabric piece. The cloth had golden embroidery of flowers all over it, shining like the material woven was gold. "What do you say, females?" She passed the fabric to the twins, who then passed it to me. I didn't have any significant knowledge in what fabric must be chosen for clothing, let alone what a gown, should be made of.

She spoke, and Akyran’s expression tightened. The goblin protested, moving forwards as he bowed and scraped before the prince. “The prince Rivyn and the Queen have both spoken for mediation,” Aurien murmured to me. “The goblin protests. The father promised him the girl in exchange for the ability to spin straw into gold.” “Straw into gold,” I repeated. “An unusual bequest.” “Mmm,” my dragon was, unsurprisingly, not impressed.

‘You are welcome, Princess. ‘I would like to share my dessert.’ ‘I bought them for you.’’ ‘So?’ ‘Fine.’ @Gupta

out to whoever was inside. "Haera is here, Alpha Princess. The maid you requested for." Erylis's eyes was burning with rage and a promise. I'd probably get beaten up by her gang again but it's nothing Dezra can't fix and I knew just how to put up a fight enough for me to just get a few cuts that will heal up in minutes. "Come in." The Alpha Princess's soft voice ended our face off as I turned the doorknob and we both walked in. I think I just walked into another planet. Because that was what it felt like, walking into the room. It was nothing short of heaven. The lights in the room glowed on the golden pieces that seemed to be everywhere in the room and making the entire place glitter like

How much I needed him. But when I opened my eyes, I saw Princess Golder standing there, watching us. And I knew I had won. I pulled away from Prince Simon, a wicked smile spreading across my face. “See, Simon? You can’t resist me. You never could,” I said, taunting him. But Princess Golder was not amused. She stormed away, her face red with anger. As Princess Golder stormed away, I couldn’t help but laugh. My plan was working perfectly.
