After that, Prince Andrew withdrew from both of them. He suddenly became a different person. Later, Beatrix heard that he is always flirting with different noblewomen and then was grounded by the emperor and empress for visiting brothels. She controlled her sad and disappointed feeling, convincing herself that this is what she wanted. She wants to draw a line between her and Prince Andrew and then marry Prince Anders in this lifetime.
The time has come for her to announce who among the two princes she is going to marry. Everyone in the palace thinks that she will choose Prince Anders and this celebration is only a formality. However, something happened that turned the world upside down!
Emperor Claudius, Empress Alyna, Beatrix, and other important people scanned the banquet hall to look for Prince Anders so that Beatrix will be able to announce to everyone her decision. She had a bad premonition when the servants could not find him so everyone gathered to look for him in every courtyard.
The emperor was very mad, the empress fainted, and Beatrix was so shocked when they caught him in the act of copulating with another noblewoman! The worse is they are not the only ones who witnessed the immoral deed and it appears that even in front of many eyes they continued doing it as if they are possessed! One strange thing is Prince Anders is moaning, dirty talking while calling Beatrix's name and doing it with that woman while the woman is moaning and calling Prince Andrew's name! It was strange and suspicious! If dirty words could impregnate, their ears will give birth now. The two people only stopped what they are doing after they were splashed with extremely cold water. The woman screeched while Prince Anders was disoriented for a moment before the two realized the grave mistake that they did!

"Beatrix, let me explain..." Prince Anders pleaded with Beatrix.
Beatrix shook her head, cried, and run away. After the incident, Prince Anders was forced to marry Lady Anne because he took her purity and the lady's family is demanding justice! It was a blow to the imperial family's face so no matter how much Prince Anders refused it and explained that he and Lady Anne was framed, the emperor would not listen!
Prince Anders explained to Beatrix what happened to him at that time. Beatrix thought that it seems that he was framed by Prince Andrew after hearing his explanation. He asked for her forgiveness and also asked her if she still wants to marry him regardless of what happened, she agreed because she likes him and of course, she does not want to marry Prince Andrew and repeat the same mistake! Both of them tried to sway the emperor's decision but for some reason, the emperor still thought that Beatrix should marry Prince Andrew and Prince Anders should take responsibility.
Beatrix could feel the murderous intent when she is begging the emperor to let her marry Prince Anders. She initially thought that it was the emperor's wrath but that cold, dark, and dangerous aura came from beside her, from Prince Andrew's direction! In the end, Emperor Claudius declared that Prince Andrew and Beatrix should marry after one week because the wedding preparation was already prepared a long time ago while Prince Anders should take Lady Anne as his concubine after one month.
"Do you take the decree, First Son?" The emperor asked Prince Andrew.
"This son thanks Imperial Father for your great blessing! This son will gladly comply!" Prince Andrew replied enthusiastically to the annoyance of the two people present.
Both Prince Anders and Beatrix were shocked and pleaded more but this time the emperor was so annoyed and mad that he changed his decree! He decreed that Prince Andrew and Beatrix should marry tomorrow while Prince Anders should marry Lady Anne as an imperial wife after one week! This time, Beatrix and Prince Anders did not dare to refuse anymore, afraid that the emperor will punish them severely as they could see that the emperor is going to explode so soon!

"This son thanks Imperial Father for the wonderful present! This son will gladly send gifts to the bride's family and prepare for tomorrow's wedding ceremony." Prince Andrew said righteously in front of everyone.
Beatrix never felt this angry in her two lifetimes! She felt a strong urge to personally strangle someone to death but this person deliberately ignored her looks of daggers!
The wedding was prepared a long time ago. It was the type of wedding many women will dream of but contrary to the feeling of the annoyed bride who feels cheated, everything is pure nonsense and ridiculous! How did this happen?!! She vowed to never marry him again but what now?!! Her plan was crushed and went to the drain!!! The ceremony and celebration went smoothly. The bride and groom are now inside their wedding chamber...
"Do not get near me! I do not care where His Highness will sleep but not near me!!!" She said then laid down under the protection of a blanket.

The Girl in the Abyss
Synopsis: The mysterious force known only as "God's Guidance" implemented a game-like system and rebuilt the planet using continents from five different worlds. Join Ellie, a young girl whose soul is filled with an ocean of love and trust. No matter how horrendous the circumstance or dreadful the suffering her kindness manages to shine through, but everyone breaks eventually. Watch as the horrors of reality slowly chip away at a pure soul until nothing but a monster remains and follow her down the path of despair as she finds a reason to live. ‘Our fate is one that always leads to suffering, but you can smile, I’ll shoulder everything else.’ Warning 1: This story covers very mature themes which I have listed here: Torture of a child (The MC is the victim), death, killing, slavery, and light gore. Nothing sexual ever occurs to the main character. Warning 2: This is another apocalyptic LitRPG, has a brokenly OP MC, bad writing, horrible grammar, and garbage sentence flow. It is my first attempt at writing a story since grade school. Inspired by my four favorite stories: Overlord, CLANNAD, The Arcane Emperor, and Tokyo Ghoul. A note by me: This is not a world domination story or an action story. There is fighting but it's not the focus. Another note by me: This is a work in progress. I’ll likely go back and change stuff a lot. The cover art is by a friend who has encouraged me since the start. Releases: Volume two will not be out anytime soon sadly. I apologize for the Hiatus.
8 195Arcane Societies
Secret Societies, highly influential groups of people who control the world from behind the scenes. Often, they are merely thought to be part of the wild fantasies of the most imaginative or insane people of society. Sett, a seemingly normal orphan child, shared the same thoughts. Yet, his world would be torn asunder when he found out that not only was the world controlled by these veiled organisations, but they also had access to much more than just money and influence. They were martial artists that could split the earth, magicians that could rain fire from the skies, monsters that could eat you whole, and much, much more. This is the story of Sett, an orphan who tries to live his life among the secret societies. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 122Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
