Novel & Cerita The Abandoned Empress Chapter 1

The last candle drowns on my desk—its flame stretching upward in one final, desperate moment before collapsing into itself. I will never love. Not truly. Empresses do not get to love. Do not get to be loved. This will be my price. And I will pay it—again and again—if it means keeping him close, if it means nothing ever changes. My gaze drifts back to the first Emperor's portrait. The letters behind it are sealed away again, out of sight. Entombed. As if I've buried something living within these stone walls. Something that will never breathe free again.

“What’s bothering you?” It was hard to explain to anyone, even herself. One moment she was the Princess of the Romanovs, heir apparent to her father, and the next she was the soon to be Empress of the Westlands, wife of King Vasil. “If I were to list all of my problems, we’d probably be sitting here ‘til the New Year.” “That doesn’t mean you can’t try,” Cecily persisted. Emery emerged from the closet. Seeing that her two friends were having a moment together, Emery couldn’t help but dive onto the bed, propping her head up with her hands.

She also read myths, angels, former saints, and the power of the Imperial Family. The current Imperial family emperor is Necephorus Aus Viten, He is the most powerful Emperor in the empire. He married a Saint Empress Aelia Gazelle Placidar and had a son of a crown prince. Elise remembers the wise and cruel emperor with the Saint's loving wife. The author in the book “The Lazy Lucky Princess” describes them as powerful beings that help Alicia after being kidnapped several times. Elise didn't need to write down the date because she fully remembers it like she's the one who wrote the book. Now the most curious Elise is about the book for magic and the Saints.

That was enough for him. He glanced toward the next room. That was Sadie's room. He was actually relieved she hadn't been cast as the female lead. Someone like her-cruel and self-centered-playing the kind-hearted heroine would have made him uncomfortable. Half an hour later, Scarlett had already caught up to chapter 875. That was where the update stopped. It was really good. No wonder the author of The Legend of Abandoned Prince had such a reputation. The pacing, the tension, the emotional turns-everything was addictive.

════════ ✥.❖.✥ ════════ ❝Chapter 52❞ Juliet Lucienne Moreau's story wasn't long. As a daughter born from a prestigious noble family, she was destined to be crowned as the Empress of the Empire. But when she realized that the Crown Prince whom she fell in love is in love with another woman, she chose to run away from their supposedly marriage and went off, riding on the villain's lap.

Clinical. I stood by the door, watching my life get packed away like evidence. Emma slept through most of the car ride. Her head rested in my lap, fingers tangled in the hem of my shirt. I stared out the window, heart pounding as city streets faded into winding roads and looming iron gates. The Wolfe Estate. It rose like a shadowed giant — towering and sprawling, its windows dark and endless. Too many secrets behind those walls. It wasn’t a home. It was a throne—cold and unyielding.

“I have received the remaining harmony from him and also cleared off my debts. I drop at his feet, no one can save me even if I scream and yell for help. I crawled back to my room waiting for my extinction. AN This is the first chapter of the book, please, don't judge me on my English, people make mistakes. Correct me with love and I will be thankful. Thank you for giving this book a chance, and please — do drop your comments.

Terrax says as he moves closer and I look up at him from my mother's shoulder. "Thank you," I whisper with joy filled tears streaming down my cheeks. THE END Our next harvest girl will find her mate in 2024. Thank you for your patience. Fiadh and Terrax didn't have a sex chapter and I did that on purpose. Fiadh has a lot of healing to do before she is comfortable taking that step. Terrax is an honorable man who has no problem waiting for her to be ready. Book 3, Protected, is now in the making

“The Shadow Assassins could be of great help right now. Maybe a visit to Lady Serena’s household would do the trick.” Back in the palace, Emery got back inside her room and added the new books to the old ones given to her by her tutor. Just staring at them made her feel tired and exhausted, but it was one of the things she needed to do now that her position to become the empress was once again secured. She had to prepare because this was just the tip of an iceberg. Before anything else, she opened the letter from the prime minister.

Had I not witnessed him taking a dislike to a handsome attendant, fabricating an excuse, and having the poor soul dragged off to be sold into a brothel, I probably would have been fooled by him too. If a man like that ever became the empress consort, it would be an absolute disaster for the empire. I wasted the best years of my youth here, finally climbing to the one position every man under heaven coveted. Bella had proclaimed to the entire world that I would be her only empress consort, and should I pass away, the throne beside her would remain forever vacant. At the time, I genuinely believed I was the happiest man alive, which was why I ignored the system's prompt when it offered to let
