The Bride Of The Devil

Xo_Xie
Lydia Andreyevna thought the stories were exaggerated. They said the Grand Duke of Zolotaria was a monster. That he wore a mask to hide the face of a killer. That he bathed in blood and showed no mercy. But when she saw Ivan Romanov slit a man’s throat and smile at the corpse like it was art, she knew—she had married the devil. After losing her parents, Lydia was left to suffer under her uncle, Lord Alexander, who stole everything she had. Desperate to escape a forced marriage to a Baron old enough to be her grandfather, she begged Queen Olga for help. The queen agreed—but at a price. Now, Lydia belongs to a man feared by all. A man whose name alone makes others tremble. A man who doesn’t flinch at death… because he’s lived too close to it for far too long. And behind his mask, no one knows what he's truly thinking. Not even his wife.

The Greatest king

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.
