Royal Mysteries Novels & Stories

I could hear people talking, and through the windows in the doors, I could see a crowd gathering outside. Curious, I headed out into the hall to see what was going on. The crowd had gathered around a bulletin board, and upon closer inspection, I saw that several posters had been put up. I pushed my way forward to get a better look. “ROYAL ALERT,” the posters read. “Missing sapphire brooch; important royal heirloom belonging to the Princess. Please see attached photograph. Anyone who returns the brooch to the King’s Beta will receive an award in the sum of five hundred dollars.”

"There is." The royal library was the most beautiful room I had ever stood in, and I refused to waste it being shy. I found the medical wing in minutes. Whole shelves of it. Herbcraft and wolf physiology and poison-lore, spines I had only ever dreamed existed. I pulled one down with hands that weren't quite steady and started reading like the words might be snatched back.

“Why did you check-in in that 3-star hotel with the hideous robe?” I laughed. “It was intentional.” “Hmm. Interesting. Who’s this?” She pointed at a portrait of my great-great-great-grandfather in oil painting. “King Kamrun Braynburg.” “The first King and ruler of Triberis.” “Yes. You did your assignment.” “Thanks to that talkative driver.” “This is the study.” I pulled the two-door opened, revealing the big library full of old books collection from constitutional law, to fine arts, to modern fiction.”

The king was focused to Chief Black at once. "We found this in hidden in the belongings of the crown princess, Your Majesty." Chief Black lifted his hand for everyone to see. I gasped and my throat ran dry when I saw what he was holding. It is a black little bottle with black lid. "And we found out that it indeed contains the deadly extract of the poisonous flower Lily of Morte." I felt like my whole world crumbled into ashes. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. It felt like doom was suddenly in front, standing right before me.

Scarlet’s POV I remained frozen as he lunged again at the bars, trying to rip them apart with bloody hands. And then my eyes fell on the tattoo burned into the side of his neck. A jagged crescent moon over a bleeding wolf’s eye. I stepped closer. My heart dropped. “Midnight Mystery…” I whispered. The Crown Prince turned sharply. “You know about the gang?” My breath caught in my throat. “It’s Midnight Mystery?” Gasps rippled through the officials standing nearby. The Crown Prince fixed me with a sharp and unreadable look. “Dr. Blackthorn, what exactly do you know about them?”

I have a lot of questions and doubts, and the now-familiar knot in my gut has tightened again, so much that I don't think it will ever leave. But, here I am, seated in a private plane straight to the palace, thrown into an arranged marriage by an app to a royalty I have never even met before, and there's no going back. If I have to go in blind, I'll just have to quickly learn how to navigate in the dark. – @ – The palace gates are looming ahead, a massive gate with gold and copper and bronze, with the royal insignia, a burning phoenix, in the middle. It was the very epitome of opulence and power, and you can almost feel it in the air.

"The attack on you was ordered by the King, carried out by the fourth and sixth princes. Felix, your presence threatens the balance the royal family has maintained for years." Felix's brow furrowed as realization dawned. "Are you talking about alchemy?" "Exactly. Specifically, the Ascension Pill that creates masters of the Transcendent Realm. The royal alchemists' success rate may not be the highest, but it far exceeds both Bern and Madam Goddard. That's why there are so many masters in the royal family. "Your emergence means more powerful warriors outside royal control. What if they rebel one day? The royal family won't allow even the slightest chance of that happening."

Unknown to them, there is more than the eyes can see. But this mysterious power is only granted to the royals. Everyone royal born by blood possesses this power right from childbirth. I looked around again, this time, spotting every corner of the room. The passage is well-lightened with burning lanterns on each side. So, it is hard for someone to hide and expect that person is use some kind of charm to hide his or her appearance.

Stacy finally reached the destination. She paid the cab and as soon as she turned around, her breath hitched. The royal hotel certainly lived up to its name. The hotel reached the sky as its glass windows glittered in the moonlight. Inside of the hotel lit with golden lights giving it a royal vibe. There was tight security and she saw many armed men standing surrounding the building. She had never been to any royal suits before. But it seemed very unusual to have this many armed men.

My jaw dropped when the next moment, the palace guard I was talking to fell in the floor with a sharp blade pierced through his chest. I heard Raja’s angry growl and my gaze immediately drifted to the entrance of the royal hall. I’ve never seen Ren Lancaster in person because I didn’t have the chance to. I just heard things about him. Even so, right that moment, I was so sure that the person walking towards me was him.
