《First Lessons (A Medieval Tale #1)》Chapter 1 part 7

"Anna! Sweetheart! Open the door!"
The man kept his voice down and glanced from side to side as if he was afraid of something. He didn't have to wait long. The door opened, and someone pulled him inside before the lock clicked shut.
"Have you lost your mind?"
The woman who posed the question had passionate, southern features, with dark hair falling in waves over her round shoulders, and a sensual, full figure, with an innocently round face. Her forehead was high, and her hair had been plucked according to the latest fashion so that it formed a triangle above her face. Her thin, arched eyebrows framed large, brown eyes, and she had a small nose and heart-shaped lips above a round chin with a dimple.
"What are you doing here? My father is here today!"
"He won't be singing you to sleep tonight, and I have my rights as your husband!"
The girl's face was tight with fear. "Be quiet! You'll get us both killed!"
"Maybe I'll save us. You're already sixteen, and you've been my wife for a year. Come here and stop stringing me along!" The man caught the girl by a lock of hair and pulled her to him. Anna cried out quietly, but he had no intention of stopping. He knew she liked a little bit of rough play.

A short time later, they continued the conversation where they had left off, only this time they were in bed, and the sheets were crumpled.
"How much longer will we keep hiding?"
"Lons, you know my father is in charge of my fate until I turn eighteen. After that, I'll be free. There won't be any dowry, but at least we can announce our wedding. Just wait a little longer."

"Two years is a little longer? You want me to hide in the corner for two more years? Two more years of catching your every glance like it's a favor. Two more years..."
A soft hand covered his mouth. "My father controls my life. With just a word from him, I'd be sent to a convent for knowing you like this. He could have our marriage annulled. The Holy Throne already looks askance at him. You don't want to have your head on the block for seducing the king's daughter, do you?"
That subdued him.
"And I don't want to lose you. You're my husband. I love you. Everything will be fine. Just have patience."
"I see you're a teacher as well as an aristocrat."
"People will say that you took advantage of my youth and inexperience. Would it be so hard for you to stay away from me when His Majesty and his entourage are here? We can be together again after he leaves. I promise!"
Lons sighed. "Anna, love of my life, I never could refuse you. I promise. I'll wait a tennight. But tonight, you're mine!"
There was a predatory light in his eyes as he pulled the girl to him. Anna moaned and ran her fingers through his dark hair. Now, she knew for certain that he wouldn't be leaving until morning.
And she didn't want him to.

His Majesty, the King of Ativerna, Edward VIII, shuffled papers around on his desk. The life of a king was hard labor from dawn to dusk, dirty work for no gratitude or appreciation after he was gone. Nobody thinks about the king when things are going well, but any problems always end up in the king's lap. He is, after all, the favorite of the gods. His Majesty.

It could take a toll on a king's personality, and in the end, have the historians say, "King Edward was a tyrant and a despot." He wondered how the historians would fare if they had to do his job. Maybe they would behave like Radiant Ones, but he doubted it.
King Edward was no tyrant or a despot either. He was almost unnaturally lucky for a king; he was loved and had friends.
Radiant Ones are similar to angels in the local religion.

8 118Gerald the Dungeon Companion
Everybody loves a dungeon. Its obvious considering the riches and rewards to be found inside. Then theres the exceptional level growth one can attain if they surpass the monsters within. That is if the dungeon doesn't kill and absorb them. But how does dungeon go about growing correctly and not just make a single corridor that is ten kilometers long and guarded by one naked goblin armed with an above-average sized stick? Well that falls to the job of a companion to guide them, one that is provided by the Queen of all Dungeons. A perilous yet prestigious job, one that comes with the benefit of the companion never truly dying as long as their bonded core lives. But not all companions wish for the job especially when death isn't really much of an issue to them in the first place. Its just slimy to Gerald.

8 205Looping, oh the fun! (Naruto)
Naruto and Sasuke are looping, and they're bored. They've already destroyed Konoha 15 times, taken over the world 15 times, gathered a harem 20 times and failed each time, joined ANBU 78 times, created their own villages over 30 times... What should they do now?For those of you who don't know what looping is, basically, it's time traveling done over and over and over again. Sometimes, it can also be dimension jumping (which appeared in my story). Something always triggers looping. Most of the time the trigger is death. If a character dies, he will wake up back in time. Do things, die again, and wake up back in the same time again. Or in some circumstances, wake up and find oneself in another dimension. See "Naruto Omake Files Innortal Style" for reference. Recommend Chapter 7 New Intros.
