《Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 1)》Page 56
Advertisement
Prince Andrew is currently inside the dungeon. The husband and wife are both tight-lipped and refuse to provide the answers that he wants to hear! He tried physical torture on the man but he really would not spill the beans! Since he could not torture him to death so he changed his strategy. He will use psychological torture instead!
"Are you going to tell me what I want to know or something bad will happen to your beloved wife..." He maliciously stared at the beautiful middle-aged woman tied to a chair beside the man who is panting and hanging from the ceiling, tied to chains, blood dripping severely from the physical tortures that were applied to his huge muscular body.
This time the woman could not take it anymore seeing her husband's suffering!
"You are truly an evil incarnate! We made the right decision not to marry off our daughter to someone like you!" Lady Andrea could no longer keep her mouth shut! Her heart is aching seeing her husband's physical, mental, and emotional suffering!
Prince Andrew's face became darker, colder, and more malevolent after he heard it!
I am right! These two people know something very important about me and my Beatrix! They know about the nature of our connection to each other! I am going to find out soon...
"Andrea! Do not interrupt! Stay out of this!" General Ardor warned his wife not to interfere as much as possible.
Sad to say, General Ardor could not protect her or himself at this time! He and his wife were captured by this cursed and hateful prince! When his daughter told them about her previous lifetimes, he made a further and deeper secret investigation about the two princes, especially Prince Andrew! He uncovered many dangerous secrets like the existence of his black army, ghost navy, red assassins, and shadow spies! The general discovered the hidden and dangerous power and influence of Prince Andrew. He could guess about the nature of Prince Andrew's ambition but it is a pity that he lacks concrete evidence to present it to the emperor!

At first, he thought that this hateful entity must have discovered that he knew too much which is why he laid an effective trap for him and his wife, Andrea. They grandly fell into his trap while they are on their way to their vacation! The worse is no one will know of their disappearance for at least four months since he and his wife are supposedly on vacation!
This prince is truly a sly fox! Now, he is torturing him to death but to his amazement and contrary to what he expected, this hateful entity did not ask him about the sensitive information that he knew about him, other imperial family members, the Sky Empire, other officials, and the neighboring empires... He seems interested to know everything about his daughter and he is itching to know if he and his daughter have a connection or some sort of relation to each other aside from the canceled betrothal.
General Ardor understood that Prince Andrew is already aware of all the tricks the Lamoreaux and Marvel families did to break the marriage arrangement! He feels that the evil entity is not happy about it! He is torturing him just to know all things about his daughter but he, as a Father and General, is determined to never reveal anything to him! He could kill him but he will never reveal his daughter's secret!
General Ardor is glad that he did not do anything bad to his wife, Andrea, or at least none at the moment but he is so afraid that this hateful entity will do it soon. He does not know if he could continue his firm stand if this evil incarnate does something bad to his wife!
"Tell me everything about my Beatrix. Tell me why she escaped marrying into the imperial family. I know that we have some sort of special connection... What is it?" Prince Andrew rephrased his question.

"Your Highness Prince Andrew, the only connection between you and my daughter is the broken marriage arrangement. That is all!" The General repeated his answer. "Your Highness, please release me and my wife. We will act like nothing happened!"
Prince Andrew smiled maliciously...
"Do you share the same thoughts, Lady Andrea? If you cooperate and tell me exactly what I want to know, you have my word that I will immediately release both of you..." Prince Andrew declared.
Lady Andrea looked at her suffering husband. She understands his hidden message: Do not tell him anything!' so she steeled herself and lied.
"As my husband said, there is nothing special, Your Highness Prince Andrew. Your only connection is the broken marriage arrangement." She repeated what her husband said.
Prince Andrew looked at both of them.
Do they think I am stupid? I could feel that they are not telling the truth!!!

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
