CHAPTER 21. BANTERS AND PROMISES
out, as I sit next to her, on my bed. "I need to tell you about something." She hesitates, as I raise my eyebrows. "Something that will play an important roll in your marital relations with the Prince."
I choke on air, as I realize where this is going.
"Mama, I-" I try to say, but she cuts me off.
"And, I know, I did not do a great job at explaining this thing to Daphne, but I hope I will do better now." She continues, but I physically can not hear anymore.
"Mama, you need not tell me about what happens between a wife and a husband." I blurt out, and her expression turns to one of relief and confusion.
"I do not?" She asks, and I nod. "How do you already know this?"
I curl my lips inwards, as I try to think of a plausible lie.
"Uh, Daphne told me." I tell her, and she nods.
"Very well." Mama tells her, and I sigh in relief.
Truth be told, Daphne did tell me about her nights with the Duke, and how he betrayed her trust, but I knew of this long before.
Books are not as innocent as one might think.
"The carriages have arrived, my Lady." Elle tells us, as she opens the door.
I look at Mama, a nervous smile on my face, as she caresses my cheek, giving me a ward smile.
"You will do well." She tells me, kissing the top of my head lightly.
Hyacinth complains, as we walk out the door. "Am I going to be the only one left?"
"You will have Eloise for the time being." I tell her, smiling.
"I do not want Eloise." Hyacinth complains.

"Yeah, well, Eloise does not want your either." Eloise retorts, making me laugh.
"I am going to miss these banters." I tell them, as we stop before the carriages.
"Then, you could take us with you." Gregory tells me, hopefully.
"You can come visit." I tell him, as Benedict walks up to hug me.
"Do hope you will survive without your favorite Brother." He tells me, playfully, as Colin walk up.
"I believe you are wrong again, Brother." Colin tells Benedict, as he hugs me. "I am the favorite."
"I believe I will make do without both of you idiots." I tease them, and they both give me an offended look.
"Who is going to bring me books, now that you'll be gone?" Eloise asks me, a sad smile on her face, as I hug her.
"To answer that, Dear Sister." I tell her. "I will just say, that Lady Danbury will be your blessing in disguise."
"My Sister is a Princess!" Daphne exclaims happily, pulling her arms around me.
"Yes, that." I reply, as I hug her back.
"I do not think you will miss me much." Anthony comments, as I move towards him.
"Of course, I will miss you, Brother." I tell him, hugging him. "Who else is going to scare away anyone who pesters me."
"That's your husband's job now." He tells me. "Do hope he will be good at it."
I step back, as I look at my family, all smiling back at me.
"I will miss all of you." I tell them, grinning, as Louis comes to stand beside me.
"Shall we?" He asks, smiling, as he offers me his arm.
I give my family one last look, and turn to him, nodding.

"We shall." I say, and he leads me to carriage, helping me with the steps, as we both settle in.
I sigh, closing my eyes, as I rest on the seat. But my relaxed state is broken, by Louis pulling me towards him.
"Finally." He breaths out. "I thought we were never going to be alone."
I smile up at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. I lean in, kissing him softly.
"Well, now I am all yours's." I tell him, softly, as we break apart. "Just like I promised."
"Just like you promised." He repeats, smiling down at me, as our foreheads rest against each other. "And, I am yours's."
"You promise?" I ask him, as he pulls me closer, his hands around my waist.
"I promise." He replies, softly, pulling me into another kiss.

WILL YOU ALL HATE ME IF I DON'T GIVE YOU SMUT?

Life of a Grimoire
Being a book is not a great experience. Can I see? No, I don't have eyes. Can I touch anything? No, I don't have limbs. With any luck, someone will pick me up and read me, at least. Hopefully sooner than later...

Makemake
"Makemake—a planet that is found in the far edges of the system known as Sol—was once a metropolis, like all of the other planets that populate the system. Now, like all of the others, it lies as a Sleeping City, forever dormant. No one lives there anymore—it has been vacant for years. In one of the massive cities that used to have a population that was in high numbers a sound could be heard. A distant sound. A beep, or a call, a message—whatever it was, it was an electronic noise. It echoed through the dust cloud filled landscape. The sound went on for a long time. It sat in a sea of quiet; no other noise rolled over the hills and bounced off the ground—only that noise. Only that beep."

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
