Still pretty early on in the book, but the writing quality is really good. The author uses a lot of metaphors/fancy words which adds to the imagery, but I sometimes need to Google what things mean so not 5/5. Updating consistently so far so that's nice. Seems like the story hit the ground running so I'm not sure exactly what the backstory is but it seems like the author might be keeping a lot of things mysterious on purpose. I didn't realize this was an R18 book until I read a few chapters in and noticed some quite descriptive scenes. A good book nonetheless. Really seems to be focusing more on the plot/mystery than just being R18.

"But Father," Cedric spoke up, his voice strained with frustration. "Since war is inevitable, why must we honor that agreement? If we are to attack the Rasper Kingdom, then Captain Urul should not be allowed to live any longer."

Both princes stood in shocked silence, their faces stinging with the sudden reprimand.

He's just mad he was called out
The barb was sharp, igniting a fire in Fren's chest. Yet, he held his ground, his expression unwavering. "Brother, you may choose to belittle me, but I refuse to let my personal life be weaponized in court matters. This is about the survival of our kingdom, not petty insults. If you cannot temper your emotions, how can anyone trust you to lead us wisely into war?"

Cedric probably wanted to say "in" rather than "behind" but he's too regal to drop that low
Cedric scoffed, his voice slicing through the tension. "You speak like a child, sheltered in the palace while the rest of us have bled for this kingdom. You know nothing of war, Fren, nothing of what it means to defend our land with your life. Your words are those of a coward who prefers peace at any cost, hiding behind the skirt of your wife rather than standing on the battlefield."

Truly a man of God, preventing a terrible sin
"Sir," a timid voice called from behind the door, "The King has summoned you for an urgent meeting."

"Go lower," she gasped, her voice a trembling whisper, but her plea went unanswered. Instead, he pressed his lips against her stomach, his tongue tracing hot, wet paths along her skin, leaving a trail of reddened kisses in his wake. Her body arched toward him, desperate for more, but his pace remained deliberate, each touch drawing a soft whimper from her lips.

O.O
Without another word, her hands moved to undo the light fabric draped around her body, letting it fall away in one fluid motion. The sight of her bare skin, luminous in the soft morning light, sent a jolt of heat through him. She slid into the water, her legs brushing his, and he captured her wrist before she could sink fully into his embrace.
