Stolen by the Rebel King

Stolen by the Rebel King

As a princess who could not wield magic, Princess Daphne’s only value to her kingdom was her arranged marriage. The task was simple, but when Daphne was kidnapped and brought to the cold mountains of Vramid, she realized that she was in over her head. She had heard of these cursed mountains before― rocky terrain, freezing temperatures, and the land was ruled by a man feared by many within the continent. King Atticus Heinvres, the blood-thirsty ruler of the North. Even though she had never met him before, tales were spread of King Atticus’s ruthlessness. Some said he was a monster, others claimed he was the devil himself, but whatever the story was, everyone knew of the man who had powers beyond anyone’s imagination. He could topple armies and crumble nations with just one wave of his hand, aided by what others rumored to be a cursed obsidian ring. No one outside of Vramid had ever met the fearsome king before. Not until Daphne. However, upon meeting the formidable man, Daphne found out that the king might not really be the monster others had claimed him to be. In fact, what was hidden under that obsidian shield could just be a diamond in the rough. ― [Excerpt] “Now… where should I put you both?” he asked casually, not expecting a reply. “It’s regretful that I only have one chandelier.” “Underneath my bed? No, no, too dirty. My dust bunnies don’t deserve this,” Atticus mused to himself. “The mantlepiece? How about the vanity table? I suppose if I lop off one of your heads I could mount it over… Wife, which head do you want to stare at while you do your hair?” “Atticus!” Daphne screamed. “I don’t want any heads! Let them go.” “Fair enough.” Atticus shrugged, and flicked his fingers. There were two identical cracks as both necks snapped at once. Daphne gasped, horrified. This man, her husband, had just killed two men with a flick of his finger, as though he was snuffing out candles. “I told you to let them go!” Daphne cried out. “Yes, I let them go,” Atticus said. Then, his eyes darkened. “To receive divine judgment from the heavens.” ― Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU Spin-off/Prequel: The Hidden King's Stolen Wife (WIP)

Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

Was Qianling stolen?
There is a dispute about whether Qianling Tomb was stolen. Some experts believed that Qianling Tomb was the only one among the eighteen tombs in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty that had not been stolen. They pointed out that the anti-theft facilities of Qianling Tomb were so strong that thieves could not open it in a short time. The tombs of Qianling Mausoleum were all sealed with stone strips, pulled with iron bolts or iron rods, and then cast with white iron to connect the stone strips into one. In addition, the Qianling Underground Palace was chiseled in the middle of the stone mountain. It was very difficult to dig a new hole into the underground palace instead of the tomb path. Other scholars believed that Qianling might have been robbed. An engineer involved in the exploration of Qianling believed that Qianling might have been robbed, but he did not provide conclusive evidence. At present, there was still no clear conclusion as to whether Qianling Tomb had been robbed or not. The advancement of science and technology may provide more possibilities to solve the mystery of Qianling Mausoleum, but it is currently impossible to determine whether Qianling Mausoleum has been stolen.

The Stolen Jade
There was a story about a stolen jade pendant. The female protagonist was accused of stealing Bai Yueguang's jade pendant. Her husband dragged the female protagonist to search her soul in front of the entire sect. The beloved pet that the female protagonist had nurtured with all her might also hated the female protagonist. The people around her also blamed the female protagonist. However, the soul search did not find any evidence. The female protagonist lost her memory due to the aftereffects of the soul search and forgot about everyone. When the truth was revealed, everyone begged for forgiveness, but it was too late. There was also a doomsday novel that, although it was not clear that the jade pendant was stolen, revolved around the conflict between the girl and the female protagonist in the doomsday. It was somewhat similar to the plot of the traditional conflict caused by stolen items. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
