For The Love of Art and HIM

Fiona, a self-righteous princess is arranged to be married to a prince with few redeeming qualities. Stuck in an unhappy engagement, her dark sky gets filled with stars when she encounters an artist she admires. But the stars might not be bright enough and the night is still filled with fear, evil, and anxiety. Unknown to her the Royal and Nobel families of the modern Kingdom of Chenyth are hiding sinister secrets all the while pretending to be virtuous and admirable to the public eye. As the lies unravel, will she find a way out? Or will the secrets of royalty keep her boxed in? .... Excerpt... My eyes widened as they roamed the painting in front of me. "Don't go around in circles. A single dagger to the heart is better than multiple cuts leading to the same ending." He said, this time his voice came from behind me and I felt his warm breath on my neck. Even with the tingling sensation on the base of my neck, my eyes were fixed on the nude painting in front of me. Yes! A nude painting. "This... This is for your sponsor isn't it?" I took a guess, turning my head to face him. He let out a muffled yes. I moved away from the painting and poured another glass of wine for myself. "Your sponsors have you go to these lengths?" I asked between giggles, "I wonder... do you sleep with them too?" as I reached the last sentence my tone became more serious. I took another gulp from the glass twirling in my hand. "And if I did. Why would you care? To judge me?" He scoffed and moved further away from me. My mind was a blur, a lot of hazing thoughts were already going through it, each one bounced off the sides of my brain and collided with each other, similar to the motion of the electrons in an atom. "No!" I stood up straight or at least tried to after some effort. Haziel rotated his gaze back to me. Dropping the wine glass on the table, I reached for the zip of my dress. "I won't judge." I zipped down the dress I was wearing while cherishing words like gold. With a swift motion, I guided the sleeves off and stripped myself. I pushed forth my bare chest, beginning to feel dizzy. "In fact. Paint me!" ◇ ◇ ◇ Credit: cover art is not mine, credit goes to the artist Support my hobby for faster updates XD!!! https://ko-fi.com/icyinfinity Rated: R, Some mild scenes of language, sex, nudity, violence, and other themes may not be suitable for all ages
