The Crone of Baltaire

_Wednesday_444
There is unrest throughout the bleeding continent of Hashiporeng, a land that is rife with terrifying magic and ageless creatures of old. Myths of a silent war being waged in the shadows continues to spread... For there are many who seek for the tyrannical Emperor Gretchiden Salbayard to be deposed from his throne of power. Assassins and invading forces have yet to succeed in removing him; it is well known that the Imperator himself uses dark sorcery to achieve his widespread aims, and he is dauntlessly guarded by the last and only dragon in the world. There is but one hope left for the empire. A shiny, new candidate in the form of a sword-toting sage has been discovered. He is the only man capable of taking the throne by force and taming the dragon... But one thing holds him back. A prophecy. Ancient texts from long ago have depicted a powerful exorcist capable of challenging the Imperator's hordes of undead, and it is rumored that she will be the unlikely key to aiding his coup... The only drawback is that she can't leave her chateau because of a dastardly spell. She is called the Crone of Baltaire. With their stubborn personalities at odds with one another, these two somehow be able to overcome the hurdles of destiny and save the continent from Agalmer's bloodthirsty rule?

Clumsy Eight-Tailed Fox with Her Fourth Husband

Marriage means different things to different people. For Thalia Kim, it means survival. Five years ago, she died on her wedding night. Not in a dramatic, metaphorical way, but quite literally, with a broken bottle driven straight into her heart. She had only been doing what she always did. Men could never fully handle her, and they rarely stayed conscious after. So when her third husband went still, she assumed he had fainted, just like the others. He hadn’t. He opened his eyes, saw something he shouldn’t have, and panicked. Before her power could take effect, everything went wrong. That was how she lost her first tail. Now she only has eight left, and worse, her core is already starting to break. If it collapses completely, even a year would be considered lucky. So yes, she needs to get married again—not for love, not for happiness, but simply to stay alive long enough to become human. The plan is simple: find someone, get married, survive. It would have worked. If she hadn’t proposed to William Carter. A man her sister is clearly afraid of. A man who does not look like someone she can control. And more importantly, a man who should have refused without a second thought. But he didn’t. He said yes! Just like that, without hesitation, without question, as if the decision had already been made long before she even asked. Now, things are already starting to go wrong. Her ability doesn’t work on him. She doesn’t know what he wants. And he doesn’t seem like the kind of man who makes careless decisions. Which leaves her with one very inconvenient problem... This marriage might keep her alive. Or it might end exactly the way her last one did.
