Queen Ambrosia

Teresa_Whyte
She had always felt out of place. That feeling pushed her to leave Arthandica swiftly after her coming of age. With a father who turned a blind eye to whatever his wife and children did... she vowed never to return. But fate, it seems, has other plans. He had always known his freedom would be short-lived. As the prince and heir to the Arthandica throne, he wouldn’t even have the liberty to choose who he wanted to be with. Not that anyone particular came to mind—but someone obedient would suffice. Still, fate had a different idea. An illegitimate daughter? Unthinkable. --- EXTRACT “We?” she asked, gesturing between them with a flick of her hand. “We are only going to be a nine-day wonder, because there is no way in hell I’m letting fate decide the course of my life.” Ambrosia spoke with so much fury she wished she could spit in the face of the man who always managed to draw a reaction out of her. “You think I want this?” he snapped, voice rising with annoyance. “I hate you, Keket Ambrosia Bathory. You will—” “Oh, don’t flatter yourself, Your Highness,” Keket cut him off, her tone laced with cold sarcasm. “The feeling is absolutely mutual.” She lingered on your highness, her voice dripping with mockery like honey from a hive.

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
