《Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince》Chapter 101 - Fight For The Princess Hand.
Advertisement
Bozoa Royal Palace.
The Royal Family we're having their dinner quietly. King George was not surprised that the Queen asked to join him for dinner. He knew she would have already started her search for his other son.
Too bad she would be looking for him at the wrong places.
"Father," prince William called. The king looked at him and nodded his head for him to speak.
"I want to pick a wife, and I think, Lady Jane of house Zorander is my perfect choice," Prince William said. He and the Queen have spoken about it. He realized that it was best to Marry Jane so she could help them in his quest to find his other brother and end him before he becomes a threat.
" Lady Jane? " the king raised his brows.
" yes father, I love her and she loves me too," Prince William replied.
"That's a good choice. We would hold an official engagement once Lord Zorander agree to this marriage," the king said.
Of course, he did not want William married to Jane. He wanted the Zorander house to united and support Richard since he carried their blood but he could not object to his son's choice knowing he did not have a valid reason so he pushed the decision to lord Zorander.
He was certain that lord Zorander would never agree to this marriage since he was aware of Richard. Besides he was aware of the facts about Jane's visit to the Palace that morning.
The mother and son exchanged a glance, they were also aware of the fact that Lord Zorander was against the marriage.
"father, since brother would get a wife soon, should I not also get married," princess Ema asked.
She has been waiting for the good news from her mother since she promised to arrange a marriage for her and Joe Yancey.

"Ema is right, your majesty. She is at the age of marriage," Queen Regina immediately said.
"The competition comes up in two days. We would open the floor for anyone interested in marring the princess to fight for her hand," The king replied.
"What? But father.." prince Ema tried to argue. She did not want men fighting for her hand in marriage. She wanted her father to arrange a marriage for her with Joe.
"No, but Ema, it is tradition. If you are not going to marry away from Bozao for the sake of alliance like your sister, then there must be a fight," the king said in a tone that did not leave room for any arguments.
Even Queen Regina had to swallow hard when she heard his words. She comforted herself in the fact that only the rich and noble could come out to fight. After all, each contestant had to drop a rear treasure before they would be allowed into the ring to fight.
After the king's words, they eat the remaining dinner in silence.
"Mother, if father talk's with Lord Zorander he would find out about his other son. That would not be good. It will ruin all our plans," Prince William said. He was currently pacing in the Queen's chamber.
The Queen frowned her brows she was irritated by the way he was pacing. "seat," she commanded.
Prince William obeyed his mother and took a seat next to her. He knew she was irritated by him pacing about.
"if you are going to pacing over small issues such as this, then how do you intend to rule a kingdom like Bozao," she scolded.
"I am sorry mother but you should be worried. You know that a lot of the nobles don't favor me to take over the throne from father. They are going to be a division. Especially since the throne is his by birth," Prince William said.

"Don't be stupid child, sometimes you think before you speak," she rolled her eyes at him.
"Lord Zorander is not going to tell the king about his son," the Queen said confidently.
"How are you so sure?" prince William asked not believing his mother's words a bit.
"It is simply, something is stopping him from saying it to the king. Think about it. Your father is quite close with lord Zorander. Do you think he did not have enough opportunity to tell him?" the Queen asked.
"I guess he did," Prince Williams nodded his head.
"But yet he did not. Have you forgotten what Jane said earlier? She said lord Zorander only told her when she threatened to kill herself if she was forced into marrying Joe. This means that lord Zorander is bound by something to keep this information away from the king or anyone else, " Queen Regina patiently explained.
" so you think he will not tell the king," Prince William asked.
" No, but if he does that makes our work easier. We allow the king to find him, then we kill him before he lays his foot in the Palace, " Queen Regina smiled. Impressed by her own plans.
Why does she have to bother about the king finding out if she would simply allow him to do the job while she carried out her plans.
Although she knew for a fact that her plans were safer if the king is not aware. That way he would die without raising any suspicion.
"you are right mother," the prince took a deep breath in relief.
"Of course I am right. I am your mother. You see I made a good choice when I picked Jane. Tell me how else we would have found out about the king's first son.
I am sure those nosy lords are secretly looking for him. Some of them will try to help him get the throne so they can use him as a puppet, " Queen Regina said.
" you are right mother, " Prince William nodded his head again.
" Now go to bed, the competition is less than two days You have to shine. Be among the best if you want to win the repeat of the people, " the Queen advice her son before drawing him into a hug.
" I promise mother, I promise to do my best and make you proud, " prince William promised before leaving the room.
Once he was out, Queen Regina took a deep breath in relief. She felt tired about all that was going on. "Come out?" he instructed and a man came out of the Bed.
"Is he gone?" the man asked looking around him. If the king was here he would recognize this man. He was one of his young Generals.
"yes, you should lock the door to the chamber. I would not want someone else disturbing us," the Queen instructed.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World
Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer.

But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears. But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world. And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere. Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation. Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it. Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia. Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena. Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire. Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming. Witness the tales of Dyne Valiant in his adventure as a Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World. --- (Will also be posting this on Scribblehub.com and Webnovel.

I have written over 1000 chapters on two other ongoing stories that is ongoing with a 3-4 chapter per week rate at Webnovel and another in Meganovel.

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
