AK_Sonata
After winning the war, Arson Ritz, the crown prince, crossed over kingdoms to return to his country. Yet along the way, he had a lovely emotion that inspired him to adopt a new character. His primary goal had always been to lead his Amorite kingdom with distinction. However, his experience will transform the course of his life into something truly remarkable and fulfilling. Probably someone who will have his plans, wishes, and the entire world turned upside down. As he journeyed back to Amorite, the encounters he faced and the lives he touched began to reshape his ambitions. The people he met along the way instilled in him a greater understanding of love, sacrifice, and the importance of community, prompting him to reevaluate what it truly meant to be a leader. On his way, he met Elric Ryan. The youngest prince of Elysia. The boy who turned his world so beautiful to see that reality has drifted far end on his mind. As their paths intertwined, Elric's vibrant spirit ignited a spark of hope within him, challenging him to dream bigger than he ever thought possible. Together, they embarked on a journey that not only deepened their friendship but also transformed the way he viewed the boy. Perhaps, a beautiful bond of love developed. As their bond flourished, he found himself captivated by the way Elric saw the world-filled with color and possibility. Each shared moment and whispered secret only strengthened their connection, leading him to believe that maybe, just maybe, the beauty he saw in Elric's eyes mirrored the beauty he was beginning to feel in his own heart.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
