"I never get what I want in life. So what the hell does it matter?"

***

Amelia is "the jewel of Aresia" the most beautiful girl in the Kingdom.  The daughter of her mother. The heir to the throne. But it wasn't always like this. 

Six years ago, in the midst of the biggest scandal of Aresian history, Amelia's older brother James died under mysterious circumstances.  

Two years later, Amelia took it upon herself to smuggle her illegitimate niece out of the country to save her life. Plunging her own into a spiral of chaos and darkness. She vowed to never go back at every cost.

Now she is engaged to the very man who could ruin it all. But he has his own secrets and motives. 

In the midst of civil unrest, and a new brewing scandal. Can Amelia get the life she pines for?

Blood of Carnations

Father grows anxious. He's been growing more and more paranoid since Araysh's betrayal and his wedding. 


No one had ever thought he would leave like this. I'm simply glad that if I die, my son Libr will be able to take the throne and that I have not to worry about a civil war after my death. 


Being Prince regent is not a task for the light-hearted. Over the past few months, Father has grown more and more ill and I have had to take the mantel of responsibility onto myself. I'am glad for Arialana, who supports me throughout and takes care of the children. 


It grows late and she calls me to our bed. 


I shall go now. Sleep is not a luxury I wish to give up just yet.

I wake up at around eight and stretch in the sun. I haven't been this relaxed in so long. I laugh out loud at how good I feel.
