《Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 1)》Page 126

"Little girl, why are you crying? Are you lost?" A little boy asked her.
"No, I am not lost." She immediately wiped her tears away and looked at the owner of the voice.
The voice came from a cute little boy about two to three years older than her. This boy is together with the cute little girl of the same age as Beatrix.
"I am sorry but who are you?" Beatrix immediately asked. She is not familiar with these two children.
"I am Alrick Martell and this is my sister, Erica Martell. We are Minister Martell's children." The little boy immediately replied. He smiled shyly to little Beatrix while the little girl named Erica smiled too.
"I am Beatrix Lamoreaux, General Ardor's daughter and Prime Minister Aaron's granddaughter." She introduced herself and smiled at the two children in front of her.
Little Prince Andrew excitedly checked for the result but his smile and excitement immediately vanished when he realized that his expectation is very different from reality! He saw his little Beatrix happily smiling and talking to a little eyesore! He is curious about the two children talking with Beatrix so he immediately asked his servants to investigate their background. That was how he knew about their identities.
After he realized that the plan did not work as expected and backfired miserably contrary to what was promised to him, he immediately sold the manservant as a slave to Cloud Empire! He wants to apologize to her and make it up to her but she would not properly talk to him! He tried talking to Beatrix during their study and eating sessions but she only reminded him that the Emperor and Empress ordered for both of them to concentrate on learning or eating and then she continued ignoring him...

He tried to approach her several times during her free time but she always made excuses and meet with Alrick and Erica! She seemed very happy spending her free time with them so he thickened his face and approached them, making it appear as if it was just a mere coincidence.
Beatrix introduced him to Alrick and Erica. After that, she ignored him again and continued talking to Alrick and Erica. He tried to integrate himself into their topic but he felt that Beatrix and Alrick seemed to have their own world and he was left alone instead!
The situation seemed very annoying and awkward to him but he also does not want to leave her alone with Alrick! He gritted his teeth secretly and accidentally looked in Erica's direction. He noticed that Erica seems to be looking at him and stop talking with her brother and Beatrix. She seems to want to start a conversation with him but is too shy to start the conversation on her own.
Little Prince Andrew considered his situation for a moment. He does not want to continue sitting there awkwardly like he is not there at all but he also does not want to leave and express his negative emotions so he started talking to Erica instead. Now, he has an excuse to stay longer! The once becomes twice, thrice, and several times...
Many years passed by, Beatrix and Alrick are usually seen together playing chess, roaming the palace garden, discussing politics, current events, and even random things while Prince Andrew is usually seen with Erica because he is always secretly spying on Beatrix and Alrick while Erica seems to like tagging along with him no matter how many times he asked her to leave him alone! He seemed to have grown a tail!

When Prince Andrew could not take it anymore, he confronted her to make things clear between them.
"Erica, do you like me?" He directly asked her since he does not want to beat around the bush and waste his time.
"Yes, Your Highness! Since the first time I saw you, I already fell in love with you." Erica immediately confessed her true feelings with blind expectation in her eyes.
Without them knowing, Beatrix accidentally overheard Prince Andrew's question and Erica's answer. She smiled as she finally found the perfect pawn for her scheme...
Do not thank me, Erica! I am doing you a great favor! You like the bully so I will serve you the bully!
Beatrix immediately went away. She did not want to hear their cheesy love confession or see their disgusting lovey-dovey acts afterward! She believed that she heard enough and she will just give them a nice push to free herself so she did not hear the continuation of their serious conversation...
"Erica, I do not want to lead you on and make you misinterpret and misunderstand everything. I am sorry but I do not feel the same way towards you. I already love someone else and my whole heart is fully owned by her so I intend to marry only her!" He bluntly informed Erica.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.
