Ariella: Bran, what's wrong?

Brandon, really sick: I got food poisoning.

Ariella: *Side eyeing Niko* Hmmm, I wonder who gave you the food.

Nikolai: I don't like what you're incinerating.

Ariella: The word is insinuating, you illiterate.

Nikolai: I'm not illiterate, my parents were married!

Ariella:

The plot twist in Ruthless Empire by Rina Kent actually gave me a cortisol spike.

ELIAVA HEADCANNONS

May 2024 is too far, and the delusion preservation is imperative.

Eli listens to classical music just for Ava.

Ava sometimes sneaks into the library at the King's mansion just to swipe a book or two that she may have seen Eli reading. Other times, she bribes Creighton.

Eli is practically adopted by Silver the moment Elsa reveals his little crush (privately, of course) on her daughter. It does not stop Cole from throwing jabs at him whenever he comes over to hang out with Aunt Silver and to spy on his girl.

During their childhood, they've been locked together by their friends/siblings/cousins in the same room/closet plenty of times.

As a sign of rebellion against her parents, Ava once dyes her entire hair pink. The mortification hits her soon after and she refuses to talk to anyone until one text, one silent drive to the salon later she's sharing her snickers bar with Eli as a form of thanks.

Eli always leaves an anonymous bouquet of pink roses (her favorite) for Ava before her recitals in her dressing room. It's the only sign that he attends her recitals at all (Eli has attended every single one of them).

Whenever Eli goes AWOL, only Ava knows he's hiding in the library in a dark nook that has space behind the shelf just enough for two people. Sometimes, she joins him. Other times, she lays her head against his shoulder as he reads in the quiet.

All the teasing garnered from her friends due to Eli's attention suddenly stops one day. Becomes more...cautious.

Eli swears he had nothing to do with it and that he would never threaten them (he's lying, he nearly makes Remi cry).

Ava, like her mom, also writes journals where a lot of pages have Eli's name written, circled, crossed and scribbled out.

For prom, RES hosts a masquerade theme but every single boy in the school is terrified to ask Ava to prom. Glyndon decides to go without a date as well and Cecily flies in to join them. Both friends pretend not to notice Ava dancing with a masked stranger on the dancefloor at midnight.

Eli never stays longer than five minutes at any of Ava's birthdays/sometimes she never finds him at all, but she always finds his gifts in her room.

Ava has a jersey with Eli's number on it that Cole secretly swipes out of her closet to burn but gets caught by Silver.

Ariella is Eli's partner-in-crime.

After Eli leaves for University, Ava shows up at the King's mansion under the pretense of hanging out with Elsa but it's just to sneak into Eli's room and look at all his awards and trophies longingly she does not miss him.

When they finally start dating, they are met with long-suffering sighs, "finally"'s and "took you guys forever."

Ava drops little hints of herself wherever she can find a place for it. Scrunchie on his gearshift. Perfume bottle on his desk. "Accidental" kiss mark on his collar. Her ring on a chain around his neck.

Ava makes Eli watch all the chick-flicks she can because she's appalled when she finds out he hasn't watched Mean Girls.

"BOo, yoU wHoRE" - Remi says, sitting next to Cecy, Glyn, Annika and Ava wearing a facemask matching theirs.

The moment Cole opens the door to see his daughter and King's spawn standing together, hand-in-hand, the first thing he says is "No"

And it's final, too. No amount of convincing from both Silver and Ava seems to work.

When he finally comes around and they all sit down for dinner, they have a "Daddy, can you pass the salt?" moment after which Eli is chased out of the house by Cole and his gün.

Eli sneaks in thru the balcony into Ava's room anyway. Both Ariella and Silver know and choose not to tell Cole.

Eli's only saving grace with Cole is that Eli would kilI for his daughter or die trying and Cole wouldn't want any man willing to give anything lesser for his Ava.

Part two?

[aidenelsa]

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

[makingalarkofthemisery]

I just saw a post that made fun of Cole’s genetics for not even trying because Ava is a carbon copy of Silver and while Ariella has his brown hair she has blue eyes like Silver too.

And that’s funny and all until you realise that if she had green eyes like Cole she would look exactly like Helen.

So yeah

I’m just gonna leave this here

my rating of the rina kent books: res version (aka welcome to my yapping session). regardless of the ranking, i absolutely loved them. this series broke me and fixed me all at the same time. they hold a dear place in my heart because these books and couples kept me company when i wasn't feeling very good so yeahhhh!!!

cole and silver; absolutely ate. i love the fact that their book was the last installment in this one because the author really built up for them since the first book and giving crumbs here and there. i initially didn't like silver much but oh, darling, darling, the badass queen that you're. i always knew i liked cole the bestest because of his 'mysterious' and 'less spoken' demeanour. there was something about him that lured me in. in my opinion, this book also had the best plot twist. ain't no way i saw that coming.

xander and kimberly; they were my one true pair since the beginning and i thought they'll end up being my #1 couple until the last book. anyways, i know people don't like xander but i love my man a lot. i know he's problematic, they all are actually and this book was very sensitive but i still loved them. i am nothing if not a sucker for childhood sweethearts. i just wish there was more to their story. the plot twist could have been better (really really better). i also loved it that they both lost their v card to each other (as opposed to others) and kir and xan's relationship was also so so so cute.

ronan and teal; okayyyyyyy, i loved it. teal is such a badass, girlboss and ronan completely took me off in his book. i love ronan, a lot. he's such a comfy person and a relaxing presence. i loved how he had a good friendship bond with all of the girls. he was a flirt through and through but i love ronan and the smut in his book served meals!!! meals!!!! i love myself a marriage of convenience trope.

levi and astrid; okay, i will be honest i didn't like the king bro's book so much. i just cannot. also levi and astrid being the first installment (chronologically) made me forget them so far into the series. i remember liking them. for a change, the plot twist was decent. altho it was a weird twist, i can imagine it. all in all, a good read and it did a good job (being #0) to lure me in the whole rabbit hole.

aiden and elsa; i know they are probably the most loved pair in the fandom but i absolutely could not like them, even when i tried my best. one of the reasons being the length of their story. i literally had to skim through the second and third book. huff, it was a job and i didn't enjoy it maybe if i give them another chance and read their book religiously, i may end up liking them but for now, i will pass. but i loved baby elsa and baby aiden's scenes from the past. absolute cuties!!!!

⚠️ having said that the only problem i have with the series (and all the other books too) is the fact that this author has some virgin kink, for real, for real. it pissed me off to be honest. the trope of the girls being virgin while the boys were #numberonefuckboy got on my nerves— it was repetitive, unnecessary, boring, and at times, quite uncalled for.
