The Helio's Bride
A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?
Helping the Queen do her duty(to the king)
Delaney was still asleep when he woke up so he snuck out of their chambers, deciding not to wake her and Destrian. They looked so peaceful with him in her arms that all he could do was kiss their foreheads before he left. Contrary to his expectations, he didn't have any more work to do than usual. Delaney had taken care of everything in his absence. So after the grand council meeting, he went for a ride and returned to have his breakfast.
It wasn't long before he heard familiar footsteps. His heart skipped a beat like it always did even after knowing Delaney for so long. But when the woman walked in, he was shocked. Loretta?
Forget the rhythm of her footsteps that perfectly mimicked Delaney's. She had let her hair down with two braids from each side secured with a pin behind her head to hold it in place. That was Delaney's favorite hairstyle. Well, the one that became her favorite after all the times he took her hairpins away for holding her hair up.
