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.

FOILED ESCAPE
[Music Recommendation: Tattoo ~ Loreen]
Oriana walked straight to her room after spending some time on the balcony. She tried to act less suspicious, thinking Adric would put someone to watch her. When she got to her room, there was no guard. Oriana quickly entered and had her bath, changing out of the dress that would attract more attention if she were to escape.
Putting on something simple, Oriana walked to the door with just her necklace and gown. Then she paused.
"I need money to sustain Freya, Louis, and myself." She walked inside the room and packed some of her best jewelry before getting ready to depart. When she first opened the door, a maid was passing by. She closed it and waited for a few minutes before checking again. This time the passage was clear with just a dimly burning lantern.
