“Seriously, Adora. All that money for, like, holding hands in front of a camera? It can’t get easier than that. You endured me for like, ten years? I’m sure you can power through these four weeks.” She gets up and leans on the back of her chair, getting closer to Adora’s face. “Just don’t fuck it up and we’ll be fine.” Adora scowls at her and forces herself to not start another argument. Catra ignores it and turns away. “See ya later, girlfriend.” She says over her shoulder. Girlfriend. Adora shudders at that word.

The Blade's stance was still tense, his body prepared to fight at a moment’s notice if need be.“What’s your name?” Phil asked.“My… name?” The Blade echoed.“Yeah. Your name isn’t actually The Blade, right?

Vaid Empire: Conquest is a massive ongoing fantasy series that aims to mix erotica with the quality of a published novel. The Series focuses heavily on worldbuilding, story, and characters.

It is only when a young human warrior finally pushes back against the chaos that the world begins to shift towards order. Having narrowly escaped a brush with death, Dominax dedicates his life to unifying the continent of Magnius under a single Empire by any means necessary, all while striving to conceive a powerful dynasty with his harem.

“I’m not … I’m not some elf,” Lena argued, sneering as her thick eyebrows furrowed together, although her contempt was marred by the crack in her voice. “Indeed. You are only half of one. No matter - your ears are pointed enough and you carry your father’s blood. They have already accepted the match.” “Who? What match?” Lena demanded. Arching an eyebrow in a cool, appraising manner, Lillian smiled sharply, her eyes clearly blue in the light of the room, yet frosty and hard. “The Seelie Court. You, my daughter, will keep the peace between our courts.”

The girl wasn't afraid but she had not been given permission to speak so she said nothing. The man tilted his head to the side, smile fading to a confused pout. "Aren't you going to scream?" he asked. The girl said and did nothing. His hand tightened around her throat, strong enough it cut off her breath. She did nothing, even when her vision began to blacken as her lungs struggled and twisted from the lack of air. After a moment his hand relaxed and she took a breath, but made no attempt to push away from him or fight his grip. "That's strange," the man said, "Are you really not afraid?" She blinked but did not respond. His hand loosened around her throat until he was pressing his bloody index finger against her neck, sensing her pulse. It was as steady and calm as it had ever been since that day she became empty and hollow. "Well, aren't you interesting. I think I'll keep you," the man decided.

“No.” Your voice was stern, your eyes didn’t even look up from the plate in front of you. A healthy helping of roasted potatoes being pushed around by the metal fork in your hand. “I am offering you a hefty sum of gold,” the man’s voice pleaded with you. “I am well aware of the amount you offer, but you must think me mad to go anywhere near Miroh.” “Thrice the amount, then.” You paused. Swallowing your mouthful of food, you placed your fork back on the table. Tonguing your cheek and shifting on your seat. Individually, you cracked each knuckle on both hands, your mind reeling. “Explain the job to me once more.”

I'm so sorry that I haven't said anything about why I stopped publishing this fic, but the reason was: a pretty bad burnout. And then afterwards, I had my 12th grade final exams (that are still going on) so you're not going to get a chapter until the end of May at the latest. To all my readers, thank you so much for all the comments and kudos you left behind. I've seen all of them, but I didn't reply bc i neither had the time nor the proper mental state to. Still, thank you for reading, whether you commented and gave kudos or not, thank you so much. It means a lot to me
