Dutiful Love

Almost five thousand years ago, Selene was the strongest kingdom in the universe, ruled by Cyrus Sol Selene. Rumours had it that he killed his father to take over the throne. Everybody bowed down at his shadow's mere presence. Everyone except her. Nila was King Veer's 15th daughter. Out of his 18 children, she was the least favoured. As King Veer’s kingdom faced an impending attack from Cyrus, he desperately chose to offer Nila as a sacrifice to the werewolf king. How will this marriage turn out to be? Will she find a way to escape the clutches of the werewolf king? Excerpt Nila gasped, her face turning red due to rage and embarrassment ''You cheated! How could you fool me with another identity?'' Cyrus chuckled inching closer to her until her back hit one of the pillars, ''Look who is talking about identity, you thought wearing a wig could hide the fact that you were a woman?''

''I have a new approach,'' Nila spoke her mind mind brewing with ideas.

Darius raised an eyebrow. "New approach?"

"Yes. You've seen how Navaria thrives on trade rather than alliances. They've managed to avoid entangling marriage alliances because they're an economic powerhouse. Selene could achieve the same."

Darius frowned thoughtfully and glanced over at Cyrus, who looked intrigued. "Trade?" he mused. "We don't have as much in terms of established trade networks, though. Selene's resources have mostly stayed within our borders."

Nila nodded. "That's exactly my point. By leveraging what we have in abundance, be it metals, herbs, or unique crafts and offering those to neighbouring kingdoms, we could create a mutually beneficial situation. They get access to something rare, and we secure alliances based on trade agreements rather than marriages or wars."
