The seventeen-year old is Queen. She should be happy about that, right? She's not only married but she's married to the king.
She's not only married but she's married to the king. She's got a husband who has money and power and rank. Someone she can honour and obey and give herself to. Someone who will provide for her as long as she stays in line. As long as she stayed quiet, stays submissive, stays without an opinion, stays calm and ladylike and (of course) beautiful. As long as she stays worthy of love, worthy of belonging, worthy of what he gives to her.
The seventeen-year old is Queen.
That means she has giant, ornate palaces, crystal chandeliers, hundreds of dresses, and a bunch of food she can't actually eat but can indeed stare at (fat women aren't attractive after all).
The peasants, the people lower down on the hierarchy, don't have that. They don't have food, often, as the price of bread can soar too high for them to buy it. They don't have warmth in the winter, or medicine for when they're sick. What they do have is hard work. Hard work and calloused palms, calloused fingers, calloused feet.
And her heart reaches out to them. But what does her heart know? It's not her place to have opinions.
She has to be loyal. To her man. ... Unless... unless her loyalty truly belongs with someone else.
Maybe the thing she has to be is brave.
Based on a true story.Bullying has always been there and has caused so much pain and suffering.This is a story about a teenage boy that goes to a boarding school. He is not like other boys and is bullied and teased constantly. What will happen to his self-esteem and will he have courage?Will he survive?(NB there are references to abuse in his life before boarding school)
I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad
Hyacinth can only watch. Cursed with knowledge, the support of hundreds from her underground newspaper does nothing to make people understand, know, or ever truly believe. As Azdea could never avow the same sentiment, the unstoppable revolution shall either pass the test of time— or fall deep in disrepair for eternity. And what will be the price...
In a post-apocolyptic world, where the evil New Government Order rules the once free nation of the United States, a group of teens rally together to rebel against the NGO and their totalitarian goals, looking to eventually take back their country and everything that was horribly ripped away from them.
Follow Roxy Monroe as her and her friends fight to disrupt the NGO's plans in any way they can. They take huge risks to fight for what they believe in. But wherever they go, trouble tends to follow them...
