The Absent King

The Request

The Request

May 10, 2020

"There is a law here, an old one, that says that any wife is, first, the King's wife."

He took a moment to remember it.

"The one that was added by that old fool who wanted to claim any woman, across the country? It's never been used since."

"If it's an unused old law like you say then it won't be a problem to convince Henrik to remove it completely. Or to sign a dispense, added to our marriage agreement, that specifically clears this issue."

Something still bothered him. "A thousand years go by and not one Leront King forces a woman into his bed using this law, and you think Henrik is going to use it... on you?"

"I don't care what he will or won't do. I want to remove any possibility. I will not marry you without it," she made sure he understood the importance.

He did because he nodded, serious, "I'll see what I can do."

"I think that is all," Amaya said. "At least on my part."

Getting up, he agreed, "I will wait for your acceptance letter. You can plan the official celebratory event, just inform me of the date and if there's anything else for me to do."

"The party," Amaya gently mocked his wording, "Is next week. Tomorrow I will send the invitations. I already have the dress and an idea for a coat, for you. If you have a favourite tailor, I can send it to them."

Because his face still tried to comprehend the term "favourite tailor", then she decided to help him. "Otherwise, you can just visit mine. He knows what he has to do."

The first book in The Harlot series.

Amaya wants to free Leront women from their inefficient King, so she marries his brother Mathias to make him her ally in the fight for the throne.

When her new husband proves to be better than expected-politically, personally, and in bed-she has to face her biggest fear: trusting someone.

When she does, will he be on her side, or of his brother's?

(COMPLETED, but it's episodical so I'm trying to push it based on interest.)

Warning: a rape plotline (past trauma). Some violence is mentioned. No magic or supernatural, it's just a more inclusive medieval setting with minimal world building.
