[Princess Celesti 01] • Princess Celesti 1

My palace has been my prison for twenty-three years. I was born in the shadow of my dead brother. His life was cruelly taken by cancer, so my over-protective parents forbade me friends. A new hope blossoms in the form of marriage to a neighbouring prince. I am excited and hope we will be my best friend and not have concubines, like my father.

But then three savages abduct me.

I’ve learned throughout my life that anyone who is not of Fenuk race is not to be trusted. None of these men have purple skin. The pilot has twinkling yellow skin and amber eyes, the spy’s colouration is like caramel, and the doctor’s skin is red.

The doctor, Mohd, scares me. He’s built like a bull, has black dreadlocks, and a ring through his nose. But when I have a medical emergency, I realise my judgements were all wrong. He’s the kindest and sweetest man, and he swears the King of the North will look after me.

The spy, Chul, is mean. He’s as sexy as hell, but a terrible man. He posed as my personal bodyguard for an entire year. During that time, I fantasised about him every night. But after kidnapping me and revealing his true name, he is sexist and rude. What’s worse, he compares my unrefined manners to a sweet Jerjen woman he wishes to marry. He says once he sells me, he’ll get what he desires.

They all need the money so that:

-Mohd can build hospitals for the poor in war-torn regions of the world.

-Chul can prove his worth to his family and show them he is better than his

brother. I know this is egotistical. But that’s Chul for you.

-Arew’s sisters can rise out of poverty and begin education.

The pilot, Arew, is a quiet man. He watches me when he thinks I’m asleep and tells his friends I’m the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Did I mention he’s a genius, too? He invented the top-secret flying machine they used to kidnap me. Despite his invention, their mission fails, and we end up hiding in a cave.

A bounty hunter abducts me and hurts me. Just when he’s about to rape me, that pig-spy, Chul, comes to my rescue. Chul kills the villain and professes his love. He tells me my parents and husband-to-be are invaders and evil tyrants. The revelations smash my brain-washed opinions about the politics on our fertile moon. I’m angry at my parents and the prince I was supposed to marry, because I see the catastrophes they have caused.

We hide out with a tribe. Who needs luxury when you have beautiful nature, friends, and an abundance of exotic food? My feelings for Chul and Mohd develop into lust, and I manipulate both men on two separate occasions. They show me a good time, and I fall in love twice. The tribal chief tells us prophecies. He says I will be the queen of a galactic empire, and I will rule it well with five husband-kings.

Seriously? It’s a delightful dream.

But dreams don’t last forever. Fear palpates my whole being. I don’t want to be ripped away from Mohd, Chul, and Arew. They are my new family. But each man has an emotional wound which can only be healed by selling me to the King of the North. When we prepare to fly to the north, something crazy happens:

The pyramid on the mountain’s peak emits ultra-violet light. I don’t know it yet, but this is when the space fantasy and time travel begin.

Warning: This medium burn romance is only suitable for 18+ because it has steamy scenes at a high-heat level. Those scenes are MFM only, and the princess has a why-choose relationship with three men and then five, by the end of the series. One character swears, too.
