                          ❛          i cannot make you understand.          ❜       this,   too,   he has learned from war:   the blood that will forever stain his hands,   the lives unfairly taken simply because he was told their deaths would bring prosperity.   what justification was there,   for the things he had done in the name of king and country?                    ❛      i cannot even explain it to myself.          ❜                      |        @vtriol​​​ ,     the metamorphosis by franz kafka .

                           ❛          the only thing i can do now —          ❜       eyes cast to the horizon.   a new dawn settles upon them in this very moment,   yet all xander can feel is a certain weight upon his shoulders;   perhaps its to be expected.   all the same,   he won’t complain.   hence the words that follow when he begins again.                    ❛      the only thing i can do now,   is to do what’s needed until the end.          ❜                      |        @celestieu​​ ,     the trial by franz kafka .

                            ❛          the next time they come here,          ❜       he begins,   eyes alight with a mix of fatigued amusement as the doors to the throne room close —   their diplomatic guests leaving with a curt bow and a twirl of fine fabric.   it is no secret that the weight of a kingdom weighs heavy upon him,   that he is still getting used to it.   still ... ...   still,   he would endure,   and he would not let the sister he so looked to for wisdom find him faltering.   a wane smile crossing his features,   then.                  ❛      i must either bring sweets with me,   to make them like me ... ...   or a stick to hit them with.          ❜                      |        @soaringstill​ ,     the trial by franz kafka .

sleeby but .. perhaps give this a like if you'd like a starter based on a quote from a book in my lit library 🌟

[nohroyal]

                             ❛          i do not take your allegiance for granted,   laslow.          ❜       softly spoken as he gazes upon an empty white throne,   brow furrowed,   features unreadable.   the coronation is over,   the festivities now a splendorous thing of the past.   a king he has been crowned;   a king he must now become.   his conviction does not waver, —   not for a second,   not for all that he has promised his people,   and those beyond the kingdom’s borders   — but for a moment,   he finds himself in wistful reminiscence.   gaze drifts then,   head cants to look over at his retainer,   staunch at his right side,   as ever.                  ❛      i know what i ask of you.   the burden you carry,   as my retainer.   i know that it need not be said,   and yet ... ...   — all the same,   i wish to thank you.          ❜                      |        @armthrift​ ,     starter call .

[nohroyal]

                              ❛          so you were able to attend after all,   prince chrom.          ❜       countless sets of eyes upon the newly-crowned king as he walks the ballroom floor,   yet his attention is captured solely by one.   the twist of relief,   of delight,   in his chest upon sighting the one they called the exalt —   it is undeniable,   yet save for the small smile that forms upon his lips,   he hides it well.   hands clasped behind his back,   a nod of a bow as he stops feet from his company   (   any closer and chrom might have heard his heart hammer out of his chest   ).                  ❛      i’m glad.   truth be told,   it has been quite some time since nohr has had an opportunity to celebrate much of anything ... ... —   are you enjoying the festivities?          ❜                      |        @ylisseom​ ,      starter call .

                               ❛          i would ask that you speak plain,   niles.          ❜       the crown weighs heavy on the head,   banging against eyelids that already find themselves heavy with exhaustion —   but there is no rest,   not yet,   not for him.   a pause,   a familiarity to the little smile that traces his lips.   (   king xander still sounds foreign to his ears,   even in spite of all the time that’s passed.   to hear it pass from his own retainer’s lips is only stranger.  )                   ❛      you have been at my side from the start,   after all.   i’d not have you treat me any differently now than you did then.          ❜                      |        @retainohr​​ ,      starter call .
