[ad_1] For years, writing about Algeria, or even acknowledging France’s violent past there, was a lonely endeavor.The novelist Gérard-Martial Princeau, who publishes under the pen name Mathieu Belezi, spent 15 years writing about the early colonial years in virtual anonymity. Those novels found only a few thousand readers — the result, Belezi long believed, of deep-seated unease with a past that challenged France’s image as a beacon of human rights. But the period’s history compelled him.His luck changed with his fourth novel, “Attaquer la terre et le soleil,” or “Attacking the Earth and the Sun,” which recounts the brutal, 19th-century French colonization of Algeria and was published last year. Its popularity — the book has won prestigious prizes and sold nearly 90,000 copies — has come as a surprise in a country that has often preferred to forget its colonial past rather than address it. That is particularly true in the case of Algeria, which the French ruled over for 132 years before being ousted by a bloody war of independence that left lasting scars.But in a country where literary hits are a kind of Rorschach test, the popularity of his latest novel may be a sign of changing times. In recent years, France has sought to acknowledge its history in Algeria, while calls to better reckon with the country’s colonial legacy have fueled a new wave of books and movies.“This history has long been a taboo,” Belezi, a soft-spoken 69-year-old, said during an interview last month in Paris. “It is my duty to ask questions, especially questions people don’t want to ask. Literature can help with that, too.”The son of a factory worker who did his military service in Algeria just before the war of independence — and always refused to talk about the experience — Belezi said the colonization of Algeria had long puzzled him. “We went to civilize the so-called barbarians, but we were more barbaric than they were,” he said. “We stole their land, we razed their mosques.”In the early 2000s, as he began reading about this history, Belezi said he discovered an unexplored “literary territory” of violence that made for ideal novelistic material.In one of the opening scenes of the novel, Belezi describes French soldiers racing toward a remote village in the Algerian highlands as night falls. Armed with bayonets, they kill all the residents who dare to resist, “piercing their bellies, lifting them off the ground and holding them at arms’ length skewered like chickens.” Then they loot the houses, rape the women and let the survivors freeze to death out of the village.“You’re no angels!” a captain tells his bloodthirsty soldiers. “That’s right, captain, we’re no angels,” they reply.France’s conquest of Algeria began in 1830 as a punitive expedition against the city of Algiers, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire, after a diplomatic dispute. But it quickly turned into a full-fledged colonization that lasted for over a century and claimed the lives of some 800,000 Algerians.“The early days of the colonization were horrific,” said Colette Zytnicki, a historian at the University Toulouse-Jean Jaurès. She pointed to the mass killings of Algerians by French soldiers — which included asphyxiating them by smoking out caves where they took refuge — but also to the death of many French settlers from starvation and disease.Belezi captured this violence in three novels released between 2008 and 2015. Drawing on letters from settlers and soldiers he found in public archives, he captures the racism that underpinned colonization and the greed that led to land expropriation, but also the doubts that gnawed at settlers who fled France to escape poverty.“In the 1840s, Algeria was like a Western,” Belezi said.But unlike the best sellers and movies about the American frontier, his novels attracted little attention beyond few enthusiastic literary critics. It is virtually impossible to find his previous books (he has written over a dozen, touching on a variety of subjects). For years, Belezi made a living from what he called “odd jobs”: He sold gravestones, planted tobacco on farmlands and taught history in schools.Belezi has rarely been invited on French television, let alone the country’s beloved literary shows, even after the success of his latest book. “People are afraid of what I’ll say,” he said.After he finished writing “Attacking the Earth and the Sun,” which is told through the voices of a settler and a soldier, Belezi said he sent the manuscript to five publishers. All replied with polite refusals.“I thought, ‘It’s over. I’m going to write for myself now. I’ll never be published again,’” Belezi said, recalling how he imagined his books would be rediscovered only after his death, in the bookseller stalls lining the banks of the Seine.Until he got a call.“From the very first words, I was hooked,” Frédéric Martin, the founder of Le Tripode, a small publishing house Belezi had turned to in despair, said about the novel. He said he told Belezi that he would not only publish it, but also reprint all his previous books.Martin said he had been drawn to Belezi’s “singular writing style,” which avoids periods and is highly lyrical, but also to the history that his novels so powerfully unveil.Critics agree. “French literature has rarely been interested in the beginnings of colonization,” said Pierre Assouline, a juror of the Goncourt, France’s most prestigious literary prize. “It was about time.”Frédéric Beigbeder, a best-selling French novelist, told an influential literary radio show that the novel had taught him a lot. “Nobody’s ever told me about the colonization of Algeria this way,” he said.Beigbeder was alluding to crimes and suffering that have long been overlooked in favor of rosier, though distorted, views of colonization highlighting epic conquests and economic development. Starting in 2005, a new law required French schools to teach the “positive role” of colonialism. The obligation was lifted a year later after an outcry, but the unease over this painful past continued.Most French novels that have turned to Algeria have instead focused on decolonization and the Algerian war of independence, a traumatic event which many experts say can only be properly understood if the initial violence is known.“It’s time to replace a few stereotypes with a much cruder reality,” said Jacques Frémeaux, a historian at the University Paris-Sorbonne.The success of “Attacking the Earth and the Sun” may be doing just that. After winning literary awards from Le Monde and France Inter, France’s largest national newspaper and radio station, the novel climbed to the top of the best-seller lists.Eight translations are in progress and negotiations for an English-language version are underway. A school edition with background material will be released next year.Zytnicki said the novel’s popularity coincided with a renewed interest in the history of colonization in France, as the country has debated its colonial and slave-trading past. Books, podcasts and even an exhibition on Abd el-Kader, who led Algeria’s resistance to French colonization in the 1830s and ’40s, have attracted attention.Acknowledging the need to address a painful past, President Emmanuel Macron of France has initiated efforts to reckon with the crimes and suffering in colonial Algeria. He asked a committee of French and Algerian historians to draw up an inventory of archives to further the study of the period.Belezi said he hoped he would be remembered as the writer “who did the initial work” in bringing to light that history. He had originally planned to write just three novels on the topic. Then came “Attacking the Earth and the Sun,” the fourth, he said, because “it’s hard to let go.”His novels have often stemmed from his belief that the legacy of colonization has been played down. Belezi pointed to Macron who, last year, described French-Algerian relations as “a love story that has its tragic side.”“My work must go on,” he said. [ad_2]

Tumblr media
"No," Donghyuck says and crosses his arms, shooting a glare on Prince Lucas's present, that you were happily taking a bite out of. Donghyuck won't admit it but at some point, out of all the Princes you seemed to have gotten closer to Lucas, Donghyuck moves to glare this time at Lucas who was laughing at how cute you ate the donut, helping you brush the sugar on your lips, making you flinch at the touch, Donghyuck won't admit (he absolutely refuses to "It lowers my self-esteem" he once says) but throughout your fake engagement, out of all his group of friends, Why? Why must it be the most flirtiest Prince? Renjun would be the most proper out of everyone and be at a safe distance as a way to be polite, you could've been friends with him, Jeno and Jaemin would probably treat you like a sister and help you with adjusting to this life, you could've been friends with them, Chenle would ask you questions about being Prince Donghyuck's Fiance and he is sure that you and Chenle would be inseparable, you could've been friends with him, Jisung is a sweet shy boy and Donghyuck ninety-nine percent (only because its impossible to be one hundred percent) sure that Jisung would just watch from afar, why not him? but no! you became friends with flirty, loud, annoying, touchy, Prince Lucas
Donghyuck glared at Lucas and grabbed his arm "Prince Lucas" Donghyuck warns and Lucas grins, knowing full well that Donghyuck only calls people by titles when he is pissed
"Oh relax," he pulls away "I won't steal her from you," He bows at you and Donghyuck "I'm engaged"
Donghyuck nods and notices how you looked down with your tongue fiddling with something in your mouth, he recognizes it, after having many lunch and breakfast dates these past couple dates, he takes a glass of water and offered it to you while he spoke "Ah, yes and that is how an engaged man acts" he gently rubs your back to help you while you drank your water
"Oh please," Lucas settles on the sofa beside you, no longer standing beside Donghyuck, only to get flicked on the forehead by the latter "Ow!"
"Stay away from my girl, if you still wish to keep your hair"
Lucas laughs and moves to sit a bit farther from You "You're Fiance been always this clingy and protective?"
You take another bite of the donut before answering, red painting your cheeks from the words that left the Prince's lips, he was taking it too seriously only to be fake engaged to me, thinking about it, Back then, with the perverted man, the one who wanted to take your grandparents home, the time you were so stressed that he fed you, even when the two of you are out in public that boy always has to have one limb attached to you. "Yeah, he does that"
"You're one to talk" Someone joined, hitting Prince Lucas upside the head "and he is right you know, stop flirting"
You covered your mouth shocked at the sight, surprised that somebody would hit a royal
"Love, that hurts" Prince Lucas pouts, and whines, grabbing her hand "I wasn't flirting"
She rolls her eyes and smiles sweetly at you "You must be Y/n" She bows "It's a pleasure to finally meet Prince Donghyuck's bride be" she grins and you bow
Donghyuck leans in to whisper "Lucas's Fiance, Yeonli" he informs wrapping his arm protectively over your shoulder "She and Lucas act more alike than you think so I apologize on behalf of these two idiots, I call my friends"
You couldn't help but blush at the proximity, thankfully, he pulled away, keeping his arms around your shoulder to keep you at his side
Just then Yuta walks in and Dongyuck happily exclaimed "Hyung! You're here!" He turns his head as Yuta bows in front of everyone "Please tell me The other's are here"
Yuta nods "Yes, Prince Jaemin, Prince Jisung and Prince Chenle and Company" He motions to the door, and just like that a very excited Prince Chenle walked in followed by three girls then Prince Jisung and Prince Jaemin
"Y/n Noona!" Chenle called excitedly and stood in front of you taking your hand to kiss the knuckles "You look beautiful, It's nice to see you again" he catches Donghyuck's eyes and raises his hands in defense "I'm not flirting"
Donghyuck hums and looks at his younger friend, who playfully winked at you, before moving to Yeonli and kissing her knuckles as a greeting
You tugged on Donghyuck's sleeve to show him the oncoming guests "Great them, they're your guests" You informed, once you turn to him your breathing stilled this boy in front of you was close, too close, he was slightly slouching so even you (who was sitting up straight) your eyes were aligned with his nose, you could see at how his lips parted slightly to puff air out, you couldn't look away from his lips. You have to look away, now!
You looked back to the guests, who, thankfully, Donghyuck's attention was still on the guests, "Company?" asked one of the girls, her heels clicking as she crosses her arms over her dress "is that what we are now? Company?"
Jaemin hums "Well none of you are married to the royal family yet, so" He shrugs "Yes, Princes" he motions to himself then at them "And Company"
"Na Jaemin" the other girl, her brown hair tied in a half ponytail, she looked annoyed and immediately Jaemin walks to her and holds her hand
"Aww heart, I didn't mean it like that"
"What for?" Donghyuck says once he looks at you "They seem to be doing well, walking by themselves"
You looked at him unamused, "Donghyuck" you stood up and tugged on his arm so he'll follow you, to stand and greet the guests "It's polite"
He groans but follows nonetheless, bowing in front of the newcomers, his hand intertwined with yours while you bowed. Raising your head, you stared at the shocked faces of the newcomers while they stared at you and Donghyuck
Prince Jisung walks to Prince Donghyuck and placed his hand on his forehead while looking at Yuta, who watches in amusement "Hyung is he sick?" Doghyuck growls and swats the younger hands away
Prince Jaemin moves to hold your free hand while nodding "I don't know how, but" he leans to kiss your knuckles and smirks "When did Donghyuck become such an obedient dog?"
"Na Jaemin!" Donghyuck yells, letting go of your hand to chase after the boy who was running away
The girls laugh, While Prince Jisung calls for Prince Lucas and Chenle to help him make sure that Prince Donghyuck won't kill Prince Jaemin, while Chenle helps by yelling words of encouragement "Run Jaemin Hyung, Donghyuck will tear you to shreds"
You flinched, "wait, no" you gripped and tried to reach out for Donghyuck "Donghyuck, no, don't do-" you yelped in surprises once one of the girls hugged you
"Eunnie" she smiles and kept you close "You're really pretty, my name Soonim"
"Nice to meet you" You smile and bowed at her and everyone else
"Let the boys play, they only get to see each other once a while" One answers and pries Soonim off you "Excuse her, she and Prince Chenle match each other energy, I'm Hiyoung, I'm-"
You cut her off with a smile "Prince Jaemin's bride be" you bowed "It is nice to finally meet you"
"Soonim is right Eunnie," one spoke up and held your hands, in hers as she smiles "You're really beautiful" pink tints your cheeks in embarassment at the complement
"Aera don't overwhelm her," Hiyoung says and laughs at the sight of you bowing in front of princess Aera
She keeps you still "Please, Y/n, don't be so polite to us"
Yeonli nods and motions to everyone "We're all friends here" she says and laughs, you couldn't help but laugh too
Donghuck who heard you yelp, slowed down from chasing Jaemin around so that Jisung and Lucas can finally hold him down, he looks at you to see if you are ok, only to see you giggling with the other girls, and he smiles, you always looked so much prettier when you smile
"You're drooling" Chenle notes and pretended to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, making the Prince look away and readjust his suit "You're whipped for Y/n aren't you? You stopped chasing Jeamin Hyung for her~"
"What?"
Lucas chuckles and pats his friends back "No need to be shy, there's nothing wrong with being in love with your fiance"
Tumblr media
Donghyuck wasn't listening to a word, Prince Renjun was saying, the moment the latter opened his mouth, Donghyuck decided to shut him out, instead of paying attention to him his eyes drifted around the snacks and he decided at that moment guessing how much sugar each sweet contained was much more entertaining then what Renjun was talking about 'till he heard you laugh
His eyes lifted to see you laughing at something Princess Haegyoung said, he looks at the princess, then at Mark, he hums, the two of them are perfect for each other, both seated in a way that their feet would brush. hands placed on their laps as if holding each others hands from afar. Donghyuck looked at you again, you were listening to stories and nodding along, you seemed to be getting along with them well
Donghyuck's eyes traveled to what you were wearing, glasses, the wrap dress he picked out for you when you both went shopping, your neck adorned with the gardenia flower necklace he got for you, his eyes trailed lower and there it was, he bought you one of your own but you're wearing his watch around your wrist, it was loose, going up your arm with every movement, he places his hand on his watchless wrist, out of habit, yeah, you definitely have his watch.
The next thing he noticed about you was the way you pushed the glasses up against your nose, turning to the side to speak to Princess Mison, Renjun's Fiance, Donghyuck snorts, it seemed typical for Renjun to give her a clip with the letter R on it, but she seemed to enjoy it so who is he to judge? Donghyuck puts his attention back to you to see your glasses from the side, against the light, and there it was, fingerprints. He tries, he really did, but you looked adorable with the way you didn't notice the fingerprints from how invested you listened to the stories, he shifts in his seat
Mark stopped listening, surely there was something else more fascinating than Renjun's story, he looks at his fiance, who was happily telling a story, oh how he loved Haegyoung the way she would smile and laugh. His eyes drifted over to you, If he didn't know any better by the way you sat, spoke, and acted, the stories the younger would tell about, Mark could've passed you and Donghyuck off as he perfect couple except he did know better, he knows this all fake, you and Hyuck were doing this to benefit yourselves
The next thing Mark saw made him look twice, it was Donghyuck's watch, but it couldn't be, that's one of Donghyuck's prized accessories, his ex-girlfriends weren't allowed to touch it, his own friends aren't permitted to borrow that watch but you have it? you're wearing it? Mark looks at Donghyuck to see he too was paying attention to you, and that he wasn't wearing his watch, he was confused at what was going on 'till he saw Donghyuck smile, it was a smile that he tried to hide so Mark turns his head to see you there just talking, did Donghyuck just smiled at the sight of you? He watched as The prince reached out to tap you and ask for your glasses, taking it off, you handed it to the Prince who cleaned the glass before wearing it, making a face and then taking it off again to hand it back to you
Mark smirked, that was probably the most affectionate Donghyuck ever was in his life to someone else. Mark was right, this was definitely more interesting than whatever Renjun was talking about.
Renjun wasn't blind it was obvious that Donghyuck was too busy looking at his Fiance to listen to what he is saying and Mark was just being a pain in the ass, he smiles at the ones who were listening and placed his finger against his lips to keep everyone else quiet
"And that was how we thought our dog laid an egg" Renjun announced, everyone looked at him in shock but Mark and Donghyuck whipped their head
"What the fuck?"
"Wait what?"
Tumblr media
You woke up with a soft knock on your door, slowly, reluctantly pulled yourself out of bed, in nothing but a pair of oversized shirt and pajama shorts you slowly opened the door, to be greeted with a smiling Princess Mison and Lady Chunae, you bowed your head
They swat you to stop you from bowing "We're all friends, Y/n" Lady Chunae starts, and holds your hand in hers "Don't address us by our titles, ok?" Princess Mison was more than happy to agree on
You nod, promising to try and then grin tugging on your hand so that you'll follow them "Come with us" Chunae, Prince Jeno's Girlfriend, pulls you out of the warmth of your own room
"wait but I'm in my pajamas" You reasoned, trying to get out of her grip to change atleast
Making Princess Mison, Prince Renjun's Girlfriend, laugh "We all are" She motions to what they were wearing "Please? Girl's night?" She pouts and you coo at how cute she was "We all want you there" She tries again  before you sighed and nodded, she perks up "Really?" She happily leads you out into the garden, the chill of the night pricking your skin
Upon arrival you spot the rest of the girls, sitting on the chairs or the floor of the patio and you blink at the sight, all of them ere still in there pajamas, cups of tea on the table and multiple pillows everywhere
"Eunnie!" Sooni happily calls and waves you over, following everyone (mostly Chunae  who dragged you to sit on the floor with her) "You're here, have some tea"
Doyoung comes out of the corner, you didn't even notice he was there 'till he poured you a cup, raising an eyebrow at him he smiles "You'll get used to this" he assures and hand you the cup "They like having midnight talk sessions"
You looked ahead to see them happily conversing, you looked down at your hand, you weren't happy with yourself, now that your being honest. These people were really loved by their Princes and are really in a relationship with the Princes, and you are nothing but a fake
"Eunnie" Aera calls after she notice you glaring at your cup "We hope we aren't bothering you, we really just wanted to meet you and become close with you"
You looked at her and smiled apologeically "Sorry, I didn't mean to-"
Yeonli nods and sits on the floor infront of you "Will you be my friend?" she asks and you nod making the rest also ask for your hand in friendship and Aera giggles "Eunnie looks scared" you blushed at her words making Yeonli tug on her hair playfully "Please you almost practically fainted when we dragged you here the first time"
The group bursts into laughter and you smiled, feeling relieved just as Hiyoung places her hand on your shoulder as Yeonli and Aeri bickered "Let them yell at each other, it'll be hilarious" she assured just when you were about to break them apart
Soomin takes a sip of her tea before she leans forward towards you "Eunnie, can you tell us stories about you and Prince Donghyuck?"
You blinked, "what?" you tilted your head to see all of them facing you and waiting for you to tell your story "But-"
"Don't worry, we'll tell our stories too, so" Soomin pouts and clasps her hands "please?"

The Apple Prince AU
Tumblr media
Prince Edmund Valscott.
Prince Edmund is the only heir and ruler of Everdeen kingdom, situated along the Priva river. The kingdom was built many generations before Edmund, forged around the Sacred Apple tree.
Edmund was a happy and loved child, his father the king, Christian, and his mother the queen, Lahiffa. The two rules the kingdom with love and fairness, respecting and protecting every individual who was born to or became a part of the kingdom. They were a happy people.
One day, Edmunds father went on a hunting trip with some of his advisers, and was killed by a Moonwalker, a creature of the mountains. The death was devastating to all in the kingdom, especially Lahiffa and Edmund. The death was a shock, as normally Moonwalkers are rarely seen, only out of their mountain on full moons, and although deadly, are very little threat.
For a few months after his fathers death, Edmund continued to live in the care of his mother who took over ruling the kingdom. However, the grief and confusion of such a mysterious death led Lahiffa to go, unannounced, into the mountains in search of the Moonwalker who killed her husband. She never returned.
This left Edmund , the only rightful heir, to take his place at the throne as a young boy, (9).
(I can imagine him walking up through the great hall with his little crown and cape on to this song, his kingdom heartbroken for their loss and for the little boy in front of them, mixed with gratitude and love for Edmund.)
Edmund is dearly loved by his people, and he reigns with love and kindness. Due to his youthful age and kind childlike heart, he is addressed as Prince Edmund, even though he is rightfully the king. Sometimes, the Apple prince is used as a kindhearted banter between fellow citizens, due to Edmunds rosy cheeks as a child and their everlasting gratitude towards the sacred apple tree. With golden locks and a slim yet muscular frame, the prince is often in the limelight of many citizens hearts.
The castle is formed in the centre of a circular garden, that is separated into quadrants; the apple orchard, where the sacred apple tree resides, the rose gardens, the farms and the community garden. This is where we meet another character.
Tumblr media
Victor Synyorm.
Victor is a caste guard, bound to the kingdom of Everdeen. He guards the orchard of Everdeen from outside attack, from the borders with the Everdeen forest.
Victor came to Everdeen as a young child, lost and alone on a cargo boat that came down the river. He knows he has 2 other siblings, but with so many years to age those memories, he cannot recall their names. Once in Everdeen, Victor was brought to the Castle barracks where he was raised and supported. Here, he was trained as both a guardsman, and a craftsmen and huntsmen. His talents for craftsmanship spread over a wide range on specialities, including pottery and woodworking.
Victor lives in a cottage on the border of the Orchard quadrant and the Everdeen forest, which he shares with his friend Leanor. On a day to day basis, his role includes regular patrols of the gardens as well as training in the barracks and tending to the small holding they have at the cottage. Life in Everdeen is simple and peaceful.
In his free time, Victor enjoys pottery, and being lost in his thoughts. He is a quiet individual who enjoys his own time and thoughts, even when he he is so vastly popular. His looks don’t help it wish of a lack of attention, with rich dark curls and long thick eyelashes, a strong jaw and a broad, muscular frame.
Tumblr media
Leanor Hughes
Leanor lives with Victor in the guards cottage, her work keeping her attached to the land. She tends most of the gardens in the castle, as well as helping on the farms and in the local towns pubs.
With a head of crazy auburn curls, Leanor is loud and full of explosive energy, that makes her very lovable. She loves to chatter and joke with other guards, (and beat them in drinking contests).
Her and Victor, despite their opposing personalities, have an excellent friendship and partnership, and manage to create a functional coexistence at the cottage, that supports both of their needs.
Tumblr media
Here we have an example of a Moonwalker. 6 limbs, one for high speed movement, 2 for digging and burrowing and one for grabbing and climbing, Moonwalkers are as one with Nature, highly connected to the world around them, similarly to fugus’s connections. As a rule of thumb, their are violent and deadly, but only when attacked. They live in the mountains of Tagwar, in one particle mountain hive. Their expeditions out of the mountain are few and far between.

Chamomile -  Na Jaemin Royalty! AU (prologue)
Summary: Rainy days, whispered conversations, and a secret hidden within the great palace walls. War, friendship, and romance.
Genre: fluff, angst(?)
Hello:) This is my first time posting on this handle and I have no idea how anything works apparently :”)) But uhh I’ve been aching to write a fic for Jaemin ever since I read @jaeminlore​ ‘s Adventure series<3
I hope she sees this uwu.
Tumblr media
You lay back on the cold, metal garden chair, which stood on the shaded patio, keeping it away from the rain. You loved the rain, and everything about it. The cool, misty air it brought, and the sound it made against your dingy tin roof.
It had been a week since you arrived from boarding school. Your parents were always busy as court herbalists, so sending you off was the best they could do. As much as you wanted to resent them for that, you tried your best to understand. The kingdom was at war, and the army needed as much medical care as possible. Your parents worked on remedies,tonics, pills, and solutions based off of anything they could find from the ground. They were hardworking and resourceful, and you admired them for that.
“Hello, my little Moonflower.”
“Hi, Dad.” You smile, watching him place a glass tea set on the patio table. “Chamomile tea. Your mother made it this morning.” You thank him and take a sip. “This is good!” Your father smiles. “We dried the flowers last month and saved them for you.” Your parents always knew you had a liking for tea. They’d always send a new kind every month when you were at school to remind you of home. But Chamomile was your favorite. Chamomile was home.You’d wake up to the smell of it every morning when you were younger. It reminded you of the chilly mornings you’d spend wrapped around the warm crochet blanket your grandmother made you. You sink in the atmosphere, before turning to your father, who was basking in the view as well. “Are you expected at the palace today?” You ask, hoping he’d say no.
“Unfortunately,” Your father sighs. “The Crown Prince and his battalion had just arrived yesterday night. Most of them are badly injured.” You wince a bit. “Do you think we have a shot at winning this war? I mean--we’re allied with The Eastern Isles, surely their military power gives us an advantage.” Your father could only shrug. “The weather in the Warland is different from here, it’s incredibly unforgiving. The  best thing we can do right now is pray our troops withstand it.”
“Why don’t they ever send the other prince?”

RETAKE THE CROWN
In the years since his birth, Kim Taehyung had been a stranger to his own country. Nestled in China for safe keeping, the royal prince was hidden away from both enemies and allies alike minus a selected few who took charge of his care after a revolution upon the palace killed both his parents and placed a makeshift figurehead instead. Blessed with his fathers striking features and his mothers beauty, Taehyung now 22 was stumbling across the Korean-Chinese border with an army of a thousand men and his advisers. Word, that the current pawn had passed leaving him the only blood heir and rightful ruler of the Korean people the opportunity to take back the Kingdom for his family, the opposition in chaos, he had to make this move now before he lost the opportunity. Gentle, smart and kind, Taehyung was a people prince. Always preaching on behalf of the unfortunate, donating what he could to lessen their suffering. It always put him at odds with the Chinese Palace and the Emperor but it was his nature, he wouldn’t apologize for it.  Stilling his white horse at the top fo the hill, he looked over a palace vacation home just in the horizon, his hiding space until he could make the final trek to the capital unaware of what malicious intent awaiting him.

"And she said No" Donghyuck huffed taking a swig of his alcohol, while the boy opposite him started laughing at the story, "Don't," he says pointing a finger at him "Don't laugh at me, Mark Lee"
He snorts and takes a sip of his drink before replying "Well you deserved it, did you think she'll agree?" he pints out and sighs, running his fingers through his hair "You're fortunate enough that she didn't refuse your advances in front of everyone"
Donghyuck groaned and glared at Mark "You're supposed to be on my side"
"I'm on nobody's side"
"What a lucky bitch nobody must be"
"Think about it, other than the maid of the royal family, she has a life of her own, with people she adores and people who adore her right back," he points at Prince Donghyuck's chest "You suddenly pulling that stunt, is only making it harder for her, so be a little bit more," he thinks of the right word "Sympathetic"
Hyuck nods, playing with the liquid in his glass as Mark stands up to leave "Don't leave me," Hyuck accuses "Stay here till the sun rises"
"And why should I do that?"
"Because if Jeno and Jaem find out they're going to yell at me, if Renjun finds out he'll laugh at me, Chenle and Jisung are underaged to drink and Lucas Hyung is talking to his Fiancé"
Mark raises an eyebrow unamused by the younger's words
"Y/n is asleep on my bed," he answers honestly this time, relenting to the older's stare "I told her to sleep there and made an excuse that my parents might walk in and wonder why she is asleep on the sofa, so I waited till she slept before leaving her there to rest, you know like a gentleman"
Mark hums and sits back down "And what do I have to do with this?"
"I can use you as an excuse as to why I'm not in the room"
"Ok," Mark rolls his eyes and nods "Then why ask me to come here at Eleven in the evening if you just wanted her to be alone in the bed?"
"She slept at Eleven!" He shot back "she was on her phone for two hours, giggling to herself, whoever she was talking to is making her all giddy"
"Maybe she has a boyfriend or talking to her friends how dumb their prince is," Mark added "that's why she wouldn't accept you, none the less, at least try to be a bit more considerate on how she is feeling"
Tumblr media
       "Morning" was the first thing Y/n heard when she woke up, don't get her wrong, she wakes up early cause of her job, but she also knows that the prince rises even earlier cause he loves the sunrise and when she opened her eyes that's where he was, by the window, letting the sun coat him in light making him glow, his black hair styled to perfection, his dress shirt wrapped snugly against his body, the tailor did a splendid job on this one, his trousers and unbuttoned blazer giving off a casual look. For a moment she sat there in awe, he was beautiful, absolutely breathtaking that it takes all her strength to look away "Go get ready, we're returning home after breakfast" he points at a dress beside the bed, that she hasn't noticed, and we have the prince to blame for that
The dress was a red, more pastel-like, giving off an innocent vibe, Off-shoulder vintage style is what she would describe it "What about that dress, Prince?"
"It's yours," He said and looked at her "If anyone  asks tell them I gave it as a gift to you on your birthday" she blushes and shakes her head, opening her mouth to speak if only he didn't cut her off "Gifts are meant to be accepted, love, so accept the dress, it's yours now"
Just as he spoke a maid entered the room bowing to the prince "Your Highness," She faces Y/n and immediately recognizes her, it was one of the new maids in Prince Donghyuck's Kingdom, She remembers to cause this girl was supposed to be under her wing "Milady"
Y/n gasps and looks at the girl in shock "Hana" She says and shakes her head
The prince walks towards Hana, petting her hair, "Speak casually to her, it's alright" He smiles and nods at the dress "Take care of her, see you in the dining hall my love" he says, taking her hand to kiss her knuckles and leaves the room
Y/n looks at the younger maid who looks at her in awe "Pardon me for my rudeness, Milady,"
"Y/n is fine"
She smiles "Lady Y/n, you of all people know how loved the prince is" she squeals excitedly "everyone in the palace were so excited with the news, so many girls envy you you know"
Y/n smiles softly "The prince and I aren't really dating" she replied and shook her head
"Milady please don't be so modest," She says and stood up to take the dress "wow such a pretty dress," she breathed "Where did you get this Milady?"
She sighs and stood up "The Prince gave it to me" she replies and Hana immediately assisted her "I'm ok, you don't have to help me"
She pouts "It is my job"
Tumblr media
       Entering the dining hall all dressed up in the dress is Y/n's first, she looks at Prince Donghyuck who smiles and nods as Prince Jaemin stands to greet the new incomer
"Y/n" he smiles and takes her hand to kiss her knuckles "You look lovely," HE praises "Is that from Hyuck?" A shy nod leaves her and Prince Jaemin smiles slyly at the boy who was watching him and the girl, Jaemin raised a hand and waved him off, Yes, I know she's your bride I won't do anything, it meant.
But in all honesty, Prince Donghyuck was just watching to see if Jaemin was about to do anything that isn't approved by Y/n, he was just worried. She hasn't even agreed to marry him yet.
Prince Jaemin squeezes Y/n's hand so she'll look at him "Don't be shy Y/n," he replies and a smile coats his features "I'm sure Hyuck told you to wear that cause he was excited the secret is out and he can spoil you"
Y/n's eyes widened opening her mouth to speak but Prince Jaemin spoke first "He said this was a gift on your anniversary" he said excitedly leading her to her seat beside Prince Donghyuck
Prince Lucas nodded "What did you get him Y/n?
She was about to reply only to be spoken over by Prince Donghyuck "Can you not?" he asked Prince Lucas, wrapping a protective arm around her waist, making her flinch as he leans down to whisper in her ear making it look like he was keeping her close "Don't say a word"
She obeyed
Tumblr media
       Arriving at the palace a little before noon she was greeted by Maids and butlers, ready to assist Prince Donghyuck in whatever he might need
He holds her hand, "follow me" he instructed and lead her through the palace and people, "mother says this is your room now" he informs and sits on the bed
"My prince" she quickly denies and shakes her head "I cannot accept, this is insane"
He laughs and shakes his head "The room is yours, get some rest, my parents took the liberty to fill your closet" he replies and stands up against the door, his hand on the door "Get some sleep, you must've been stressed" he opens the door and leaves
Y/n watches him leave still not done disagreeing with The Royal Families instructions, it wasn't fair, she and the prince aren't dating, they're not engaged, she doesn't deserve this
She sits down on the bed to open the drawer on the white vanity beside her and gasped, in it were different designs of accessories, she couldn't help but become completely enchanted, taking them one by one to examine them.
A beautiful (birthstone) ring was the first thing she saw, taking it and examining it, watching the intricate details swirl and curve around the ring. Next, she saw a pretty and plane necklace, it was a diamond gem, a choker sized necklace that if she wore the gem being pressed right between her collar. While holding the necklace she stands, going to the closet to see the overwhelming amount of dresses, taking them out to carefully inspect and admire them placing one after the other on the soft mattress of the bed, finding comfort on the cold floor right at the floor of the bed, she leans her head against the matress as she thinks, I have to tell them.
She sighs softly, this was all new and stressful and even if the gifts were beautiful, she feels guilty, these weren't for her  they were for Prince Donghyuck's Fiance, she frustratingly ran her fingers through her hair, and closed her eyes at the on coming headache
She didn't mean it, she only meant to close her eyes for a minute, to only rest for a couple of seconds, she didn't mean to be cooped up in the room for a two hour nap, she didn't mean to fall asleep still holding the necklace that when Prince Donghyuck entered to ask her if she wanted to accompany him only to see her asleep, she didn't mean for him to lift her and place her under the covers, she didn't mean for him to clean up the mess she made while she explored the room, she didn't even know it happened 'till she woke up
Opening her eyes and realizing that this wasn't where she fell asleep, she sat up in shock, what happened? who entered the room? Somebody cleaned up? She got cut from her thoughts when she noticed a letter on the vanity table from the prince herself
Dear Y/n,
I hope you didn't mind, I placed you on the bed, you'll get a stiff neck at the position you were on. Rest well, You deserved, the whole ordeal must've been stressful, I know you wanna talk to me, I have a free schedule later around 7 pm, eat dinner with me and lets talk
Lots of love,
Lee Donghyuck :)
Y/n's mouth drops open in shock, he was the one that placed her on the bed, did he clean to? please tell me the prince didn't clean up the mess she made. She stood up only to be greeted by Hana as she opens the door
"You're awake, Milady" She smiles and sorts through the closet before Y/n could even process what was happening "Prince Donghyuck has suggested this to be your outfit for the rest of the day Milady"
She blinks, "Um, no thank you, I'm ok with what I'm wearing" She says and moves to go out the door when Hana stops her
"Milady you can't be seen wearing the same thing twice," She reasons holding the dress up so she can see
Y/n examined the dress, it was simple more simple than the red vintage dress she was currently wearing, it was a long dress hat would reach her ankles, the material light and seemed light and cottony, sleeves reaching the wrists, and a cute bow by the collar. It was just a simple casual sundress that had its own belt, she nods and sighs "ok fine, I'll go change"
       She walks through the halls of the palace, going to the tea room, where Hana has informed her where Prince Donghyuck was. Upon arriving she realized that not only was Prince Donghyuck in the room so was the Queen and someone she hasn't seen a long time
"Donghyuck where is Y/n?" the queen asks and looks by the door, making Y/n hide behind the door, "Should we fetch someone to get her?"
Donghyuck was quick to shake his head and deny his mother's suggestion "She's probably asleep let her rest"
The boy she hasn't seen in years smiled happily at the conversation "Hyuck sounds like a caring fiancé its amusing" he laughs and teases Doghyuck with a sly grin "is she the one wearing blue by the door way?"
Y/n froze around the same time, Prince Donghyuck and the queen turn their heads to look "Y/n?" Donghyuck asks
Revealing herself, cheeks slightly tinted red at being caught she bows in greeting "I'm sorry," she replies looking down in embarrassment
Prince Donghyuck stands to hold her hand and land a kiss on her knuckles "Don't be, my love" he says and leads her to sit beside him with her still frozen from the nickname and the action,  "Did you sleep well?"
the boy from earlier giving her tea "I have honestly never seen Donghyuck so smitten," he teases and smiles at her "Nice to finally meet you, Lady Y/n"
She shakes her head and stands "No please, Lord Taeyong" she quickly denies "Don't address me by a title have no right over"
A smile lands on his lips "I like you" he says and pats Donghyuck's back "I approve if her, good job" he stands and bows "I'm afraid I shall keep you calling that Milady, it suits you" he winks and Donghyuck, gently pulls Y/n to sit down "Your Highness" Taeyong speaks to the Queen "After you, I think the two of them would like to have the room for themselves"
The queen giggled, nodding "Oh Taeyong, I was just about to suggest that, you're a lot like my brother in law has anyone ever told you that?"
"I'm afraid so, My Queen" he laughs "He is my father" was the last thing you could hear from the conversation before it faded away and into the hallway
Y/n wasn't paying attention to the Marquees or the Queen only to be focusing on the prince, his blazer long forgotten on the coat rack, but his simple french-cuffed-two-unbuttoned-buttons style was mesmerizing, she realized they have matching colored tops, she blushes slightly
"Are you still adamant about not marrying me?" he wakes her from her thoughts
She blinks then nods "Yes, this isn't meant for me, My Prince, this was for your Fiance and i can't take it"
He sighs and examines her "Two weeks"
"I'm sorry?"
"Give me two weeks of your time and after that I'll tell my mother myself"
"What? No, We have to tell her now"
"Listen, you said you don't want the royal family to suffer because I can't tell her I don't want tp get married yet, right?"
She bites her lip, not answering
"Right?"
"Yes" she whispers
"Then give me two weeks, to figure out a way to tell her how we broke up so you can be free and no one will ask why, and so I can use it as an excuse as to why I wont find a new bride anytime soon"
"What excuse, My Prince?"
"I'll be too busy trying to get over you to find one" he smiles and she tries her best to suppress the warmth of her cheeks at the sight
"That won't work"
"Better than the family getting ridiculed, so, will you give me two weeks my love?"

“You mean the Faceless Prince?” 
You quirk an eyebrow. “That’s what they call him?” Your father nods. 
“That boy is a mystery,” you lean towards him, intrigued. “The royal family hasn’t given the kingdom the slightest clue about him. We’ve never seen his face or heard of his name.”
 You set your empty cup on its saucer’ “How odd.” Your father nods in agreement. 
“Why do you think he’s hidden?” You couldn't help but pry your father more about this ‘Faceless Prince’. He grunts, rising from his seat. “There are many rumours about it actually, but most say it’s because he was deformed at birth.”
“Oh,” You couldn’t help but sound disappointed. The image of a dreamy, mysterious prince immediately disperses from your head. It sounded too much like a cliche anyway. Maybe you should have refrained yourself from reading all those romances Sister Thea would scold you about. “Scandalous and brain-washing”, she’d call them. She caught you in the garden once, reading a copy of Pride and Prejudice. You had never seen such red in a  person's face.
She immediately snatched the book from you and threw it into the fishpond.
“Sister Thea!” You cried, running over to where she flung your book, only to find it fully submerged in the water. “Those books will never do you any good!” She grabs you by the arm and drags you to the headmistress’s office. It was a long week of cleaning after that. 
“How unfortunate.” You finally managed to say.
Your father nods again, taking out his pocket watch to check the time. “Well, me and your mother best be going now. All the herbalists and medics are expected at the palace by noon.” You shake off your thoughts and give him a small smile. “Okay, see you at dinnertime.” HE smiles back, then makes his exit. Leaving you with the rain, and the faint scent of Chamomile tea wafting in the air.
‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵
It had been a month now, since you arrived from boarding school. 
War was still stirring, and more people were getting hurt. This meant that your parents were usually more out of the house than in. You spent most days in bed, snoozing the loneliness away. 
It was about five in the morning when you woke up, the sound of the kitchen faucet running meant that somebody was home.
“Mom?” You rub the sleepiness off your eyes and offer her a small wave. “Goodmorning dear, did you sleep well?” She pulls out a kitchen stool for you. “Mmhm.” You answer.
“Less patients today?” She shakes her head. “Still the same amount, but we have less coming in.” 
“They say the war’s ending soon.”
“It should.” You sigh. “The war has been going on almost all my life.”
You peer through the kitchen window. The sky was starting to darken. The small voice in you hoped for rain.
“We just have to be thankful we don't live by the Warland. I got a telegram from your Aunt Norma saying they evacuated.” 
“Seeing the damage it’s caused really breaks my heart, you know.” She lifts the lid from the pot the rice was boiling in,releasing hot steam that immediately nipped at both of your faces. You stood up to help her with the plates. “We have a couple shell-shocked patients as well. Poor things… who knows what they’ve seen.” 
You and your mother eat in silence. Nothing but the sound of silverware clattering against porcelain. The silence goes on for a while, until you get an idea.
“Do you need an assistant at the clinic?” 
“What?” Your mother says immediately. “Well I can help with inventorying since I heard you complaining about it last night.” Your voice trails off once you look at the expression on your mother’s face. It was too unreadable. 
“So is that a no?”
“Moonflower, you’re an angel.”
“What?”
“I have been trying to get out of inventory all week!” She takes your hands in hers and gives you a big smile. “You can write records for me while I help the patients!” The enthusiasm in her voice almost made you regret your offer. 
Was inventorying that bad?
