Who Stole The Empress Novels & Stories

The princes kept their eyes on us, wondering what’s going to happen next. “The kingdom where the Empress came from has fallen. Her family ran off as soon as the kingdom fell and now they’re hiding here in our Empire. She wants to take over this kingdom so her family could stand again.” I admitted. The Empress lunged at me and tried to strangle me but the First Prince stopped her.

His frame was perfectly still the whole time. “Go on, Admiral Nugen.” I grip my armrests to keep me steady. “What did you find?” “Your Empress,” Admiral Nugen lifts his head to look over the room. “I have here evidence that there is a thief among our-” “It’s because of me.” Mykhol’s words suddenly break out and I even have to look at him in shock. But that seems to only make Mykhol repeat himself once more. “It’s because of me.”

"Mother... he didn't marry her." Her mother looked at the screen and then back at Zara. "Then the battle for the empire has truly begun, my daughter. If he is free, then Falcon Enterprises is the next move." Zara stood up, the tears from the roadside bench completely dry. She wasn't just a girl in a flat anymore. She was the Queen, and her King had just burned his world down to find his way back to hers.

“Why is my personal maid being dragged away and you all are standing watching!” “Forgive me, my Luna, but she's been found guilty of theft.” “Theft? What nonsense!” “Who did she steal from?” “Lady Emily.” At the guard's reply, my body became still. The name I just heard whirred in my brain. “La-lady Emily?” I asked, my mouth hanging open. My wolf slammed hard in my chest in the same breath. “Yes, my Luna. Maidservant Beatrice stole an important treasure from Lady Emily.”

“It’s said to be of immeasurable value because of the gems—and the love of the king for the queen. But… when she was found out to be a witch, and it was believed she had charmed the king… he took the ring back. Banished her. Stripped her of her titles, her name. She was never seen again.” “Story time?” Elias’s voice cut through the room. He strolled in, the edges of his smile sharp. Lyra jumped slightly and instinctively pulled her hand out of Matthew’s hold. Matthew straightened but didn’t look the least bit ruffled. “We were just discussing history. It’s always good to know the past, don’t you think?” “Especially the parts that conveniently fit your narrative,” Elias replied dryly. “Where

"I have found that thing. The one who was kind to me when I had no kindness, the one who saved my life when all seemed lost… she will be my Empress." A heavy quiet fell in the room. Lord Valerius’s eyebrows went up a little, a hint of surprise in his usually calm face. General Thorne stayed still, his trained mind probably already figuring out the political effects, how people might react. "Your Majesty?" Lord Valerius finally asked, his tone careful. "An Empress? Forgive me, Sire, but who is this… person? We thought you were rescued by a regular person, someone living alone in the woods."

"Yesterday you said I was absent, abusing expenses, and using company resources for myself. If all those resources belonged to the company, then you should be fine without me." At last she understood. She had stolen my seat because she thought there was gold under the chair. She didn’t realize the gold had never been under the chair. It had been behind me. Julian rubbed his eyes like a man trying to wake from an expensive nightmare. "What do you want?"

Lewis didn't just own me. He owned everything. The police? Paid off. The college staff? Terrified of him. I was trapped. A princess locked in a castle built from blood and power. And the dragon guarding me didn't want to protect me. He wanted to consume me. I curled tighter into myself, whispering the same useless prayer into the darkness. "Please...someone save me." But no one ever came. And Lewis would never let me go. Not alive. Or so that was what I thought.

‘The theft? I nodded and took another sip of the orange juice. ‘The government found out that the head of the Virtus clan had stolen a huge sum of money from a member of the Lux family and murdered him in cold blood. The head of the Lux clan back then demanded justice and the head of the Virtus clan was beheaded. The entire Virtus family was exiled.’ ‘And that wasn’t true?’ ‘I checked the records of our finances—everything adds up. Which means nothing was stolen!’ I took a bite of my third croissant.

She was more than right about everything, especially the part where all thirteen of us were wanted dead or recaptured by the Beast of the West. "Let's list each reason," Izar said, making most of us jump when he appeared in the doorway before taking a seat at the head of the table. "In exchange, I'll answer your question, Miss Helie." "Well," Helie said, "I suppose I don't have a specific reason. I just helped Gemma and Raisa escape, so I bet the bastard would call that aiding and abetting." "I was his favorite consort," Raisa said. "I betrayed his trust and was the first to escape his prison along with these two newly mated."
