Marquess Novels & Stories

Most marquises held third-rank titles, and even then, they usually started at the lower tier of that rank, except in rare cases of extraordinary merit. When Sebastian and Selena's father, Thomas, was made Marquis of Whitgrave for his brilliant military exploits, he had been elevated to the second rank. Even then, he still started at its lower tier. But today, Sebastian's own title as Marquis of Northwatch was full second rank, a distinction that broke with tradition. As Sally said, it was truly unprecedented, the very first of its kind. Such a title certainly justified marrying a princess of Dawnmere.

He said as he paused to know if I'm following. "They found out that day from a witch, that you’re the second chance mate of the exile alpha King who has been damned to eternal life till he finds his second chance mate. It didn't come as a surprise since he already marked you, what came as a surprise is the prophesy backing the marking that kept everyone on their toes". Prophesy, I remembered Jasper saying something like that. "The words are; "A child is born marked by a cursed It arrival is to redeem the cursed The cursed will be redeem and it lost glory will be restored,

“If that is the case, then as a friend to you, Marquess, I should also inform you of a rumor I heard concerning you.” Marquess turned and faced Alicia, face filled with worries of the unknown. “…Rumor? Of what…?” “I came to the knowledge that Marquis Pless has built up quite a number of debt due to his gambling… high enough to the point where the mansion can be taken at any time.” Marquess Pless’ mouth turned to a full circle. Momentarily stunTed, her face grew gravely pale. “Wh… what are you saying? Where did you hear such a strange rumor…?”

“Ah, I mean, could you protect me and my fief? Because, after I tell you the truth, I don’t think the other party will go easy on me.” He crossed his legs and caned his chin as if he was thinkung about something. “Are you saying that your mastermind is of higher status of you?” He started asking. Marquis is of higher status than Baron so that counts, right? “...Yes...” “...I see.”

She huffed haughtily “I must pay a visit to the chamber of trade and property settlements to see if I have been scammed.” “Husband, please call on the Marquess of Amberton to help me look into this fraudulent sale of property.” Mira started spouting nonsense putting on a high air. She was betting the Sleghs station was below that of Marquess of Amberton. She had no idea that Marquess of Amberton was heir to one of the four grand duchies, high above any Duke in the land, only slightly below his father, the Duke and the King. “Marquess of Amberton??” Cole frowned “The

I state gesturing towards the seat in front of my desk. “Thank you Alpha.” Marques responds taking the seat, his eyes not leaving mine. His power was strong for a merman. Most wouldn’t be able to look me in the eyes. I had known Marques for a long time, but I didn’t know his background. Could he be from one of the founding families, descended from the original shifters?

“I’m not asking you to. I’m asking you to respect her a little. At the very least, you could show up in her family home and respect her family. The Marquis is someone you can make a good ally if you use him well” “He seems to respect the king” “Marquis Adamantine is someone who respects profit rather than person. If you show him you can be a good ally, he would support your rise to the throne financially and would make the other nobles follow you” “But for that to happen, I have to make his daughter my queen”

Elias, however, couldn’t help but stare at him in astonishment. “You… just who are you? No ordinary butler could pull off what you just did,” Elias said, his tone a mix of awe and suspicion. Marcellus let out a low chuckle and patted Mark’s shoulder. “Mark was a former Special Forces captain. He’s been with me for years. Do you think I’d come here with just the three of us otherwise?” Elias fell silent, his gaze lingering on Mark with newfound respect, marveling at the hidden depths of the unassuming butler.

He pressed the button on his phone and slid it into his pocket before stepping away from the door and settling down on a sectional on the opposite side of the room from where Dani was pacing, shaking his head all the while. "I knew it. I knew it. When I marked my mate the mark was maybe three quarters the size of the one on your neck. Maybe. Maybe just over half. And that was bigger than any mark I'd seen in this territory. When I saw the mark on your neck, all shiny and new I knew it had to fucking be his." Waylon laughed lightly as he said the last sentence, and Dani could tell that he was more than a little nervous.

"So now, I am giving you the best offer of your life. You continue to rule the world, and in return, I am going to rule you and control you. You will have the world, while I will have you. I will play with you, destroy you, taint you, do whatever I want with you, and you won't have a say in it. You will be owned by Aditya Singh Shekhawat."

"I will marry you," she shouted just before he could step out of the room. He turned around and smirked while looking at her, while she channelled her fear into a dea
