Heir of Depravity

*Warning: Restricted Content* Nikolai is the last born of his seven brothers, and the only one left behind when his father, the king of Rodakrov, went mad. Six years later, the king dies and Nikolai, at just fifteen, must take the throne for himself. But succession is never that easy. Soon after his inauguration, his eldest brother appears before him, demanding that he cede power to the oldest of their shared bloodline... forgetting that the brother he was commanding was a child of a mad king, raised in the deepest pools of insanity. An heir to depravity itself. And depravity does not take orders. It does not follow the law of man or kingdom. It knows not the meaning of mercy. A single drop within an ocean, and the entire ocean is blighted. **The romance included within this story is slow burn, and it is neither linear nor simple. You've been warned! Also, LGBT elements are included throughout :) ** Find me on Discord: https://discord.gg/PuEFyDQKmZ

Madman's Gambit - Part 19

Dining in Castle Mechi was an intimate affair. Every aspect of human interaction for a Krov was forged around a warm meal or a shared spirit. Each member of a Krovic family was expected to be present for breaking the morning fast. The quality of food served to a guest indicated their value, the respect they were given. It was not a secret that we had kept to ourselves, either. Dignitaries from all over the continents – west and east alike - knew precisely how to gauge their importance, their safety, by not only what they ate, but where they ate it.

The pest knew none of it. His stupidity, at first, dug into my skin deeper and deeper, fueling a searing ire. Now, curiosity reigned – don't get me wrong, the desire to drive a fork through his eye was certainly still present, but it was almost like witnessing a deformed animal that should have been eaten by its mother and spared the pain of living as a wretch.
