The Shadows Between Us

My lovers all feel the need to give me nice things. Very expensive things. It's been a fun game. Learning their secrets. Seducing them. Getting them to shower me with gifts. But to be honest ? I'm bored with it. I have a new game in mind. I'm going to woo the king. I suspect it won't be longer than a month before he's helplessly in love with me. And when he proposes, I will say yes for the first time.
For once the marriage is official and consummated ? I will kill the Shadow King and take his kingdom for myself.
