A Royal Mismatch: The Trouble with Prince Charming
(*No Rape*) Bringing to you from the Series of The Queens' Trilogy; A Royal Mismatch. From Royal Reject to Accidental Crown Princess: A Marriage of Convenience Gone Wrong . Every girl dreams of being born a princess, right? Not Oriana. Sitting on a little stool, waited on by hand and foot? No thanks. Freedom, adventure anything but the stifling expectations of royalty is what she craves. In fact, she'd rather be scaling the castle walls tonight than attending a stuffy soiree. Luckily, she wasn't born to be the crown princess. In fact, she is the bane of etiquette tutors and the kingdom's resident "bad egg." But fate, it seems, has a wicked sense of humor. Duty throws Oriana into a political marriage with the infamous Crown Prince Adric of Avon. A notorious playboy known for his scandalous lifestyle and disregard for courtly decorum, Adric seems like the perfect escape hatch from her suffocating expectations. Adric, on the other hand, couldn't care less who he marries. His reputation precedes him; a notorious playboy who thrives on defying expectations. But when the fiery Oriana crashes into his world of calculated indifference, sparks fly. Will this forced union ignite a royal scandal of epic proportions or blossom into an unexpected love that challenges the very foundations of their kingdom? Other works of this author; 1.

DINNER OF DISCORD
Everyone in the dining room stayed quiet as the song filled the whole room. It was a sad piece, which was very familiar to Adric, as he always listened and watched his mother playing it.
"Thank you," Princess Adelaide bowed gracefully, done with playing the piece, her eyes were on Adric. "I hope you enjoyed it, Brother Adric. I did it specially to welcome you."
Adric nodded, "Well, it's nice to know that someone appreciates my presence."
"I hope I did it as well as your mother used to," Adelaide said, pointing at the maid who was standing close to the door to take away the harp and stool.
Adric tilted his head, "I didn't know that I looked so lonely that everyone decided to take up the role of a mother. It appears it runs in the blood," the Crown Prince shook his head.
Gwen, who heard this, huffed but didn't say anything. She just waited for the right time when she would take her revenge on Adric, and it wasn't now.
