《Love Agreement With The King》Chapter 17 - Rebel King
Advertisement
The King with his usual conceited attitude after filling up with food, walked toward the door he entered from in a slow stick walk, when he stepped in front of his cousin he chuckled waving with his hand.
He turned around to check the ladies who didn't take their gaze out not even for a second since he entered the room, especially Kathy who unlike usual was very heedful to the events that were happening.
For some weird reason every time the King appeared, he was bringing the chaos with him, whenever he was.
Teresa, the woman who before put herself in the middle of them to stop their dispute now stepped closer to the King and frowing said. "Stop it Jonathan." She had her finger pointed toward him.
Roselyn was probably the only one who heard it since she said it in very low voice but she was close enough to the woman to hear it. The King gazed at her to try to see if she changed her facial expression find out if she heard, but Roselyn successfully acted like she didn't hear.
He then gazed down to the short woman he took a step back and walked away scoffing.
His boots were clipping on the floor, echoining in the room, he reached the door not even turning around.
He seemed like he didn't mind causing scenes as if he didn't remember that he had to ascend to the throne now and shall worry about keeping his reputation clear.
"I'm sorry ladies. As you probably know it yourself family have problems and find themself have disputed from time to time. I really hope you won't share what you unfortunately had to attend with anyone. If you promise that, I will garantee you a invite you to every single event that the Royal family will organize."

Sharon's eyes flashered hearing what Terena mentioned forgetting such a thing would probably be already garanted by the fact Abigail was seeing Victor, that was indeed a member of the royal family himself.
"We wouldn't have said anything anyway because of our extreme respect to the Royal family but get the exclusive to be invited in all royal's family events? We can't accept such an honour!" Sharon said nodding her head from side to side and gesturing her hand.
"You can. I'm very sorry, gentlemen shant act the way they acted and no lady should assist to that rudeness." She glowered at Victor and would have done the same even with the King if he was there.
Victor meanwhile, calmed down and was looking down with an hangdog face.
After few seconds he walked toward Sharon who was left in the opposite part of the room and was probably very shocked.
"I will send the exclusive invite to your house." She smiled, "enjoy the rest of the day, now." She bowed and walked to begin chatting with other women not so far away.
"I don't know about you Roselyn but I'm starting to fancy his rebellious temper. Don't you? This event was such a tendium before his arrival." Sharon said.
Roselyn pursed her lips lightly, having her sister gasp smiling, "I guess I might have caught his attention, he was staring at me all the time." She said proudly making Roselyn wonder if she was attending the same scene that Roselyn saw, since from what she saw the King didn't pay attention to anyone beyond the food on the table.
But Sharon was smiling so happily that she didn't want to run her fantasy so she remained silent.
"Afterall, I am glad Abigail is dating Victor, we can have more chances with the King and meet his richest friends." She gazed around the room full of people of middle age, "hopefull younger ones than the guests here now." She said in light resentment having Roselyn get a light giggle.

"Let's vent our sadness over food shall we?"
Roselyn nodded vigorously as soon as she heard her sister's question, it didn't happen often that her sister would say such a thing but Roselyn wouldn't back down anyway.
So they reached the table and their gaze went around to decided what to pick, every single tray seemed so tasty and delicate at the same time that they could eat the whole bonquet in a eyeblink.
Sharon took a mini muffin probably a berry one due to its blue cream while Roselyn after a long examination went to pick her go to, chocolates walnut pastries.
Right when they were tasting those delicious deserts Sharon joined them while Victor when to talk with his relatives.
"I hope you're not having a monotonous time." She said, "Victor promised that the next event we are invited to, he will bring a friend for you Sharon, I didn't ask for you Rose since I guessed you wouldn't be as happy as Sharon." she gave a smile.
But Sharon folded her arms and wrinkles formed in the middle of her forehead, "have you also asked him why he tried to kill the King?"
"He barely shook his body, Sharon, however he just said he had some unsolved issues from the past and apologized for the way he reacted. He was very sweet as he couldn't stop apologizing for what he subject my sight to."
Sharon rolled her eyes, "you're so into him and you've barely knew him for few days, now."
"I just like being round him, he happens to occupy my thought very frequently." Abigail replied showing a smile, she was clearly happy.
"if he makes you happy and brings light and joy to your days then I'm happy for you.." Roselyn interved to give a supportive smile to her sister.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
