How far must loyalty go? 

To Maxillio Luminor Martel, life seemed perfectly flawless. He has earned a position as a Petroknight, one of the emperor's elite guards. It is a position millions have pursued, yet few ever achieved, and it comes with the strongest vow of loyalty to the emperor that anyone could give. 
That changes when the emperor sent him on a mission to suppress a rebellion. What started as an ordinary mission would come to test the very vow he had given. The choices he makes will send shockwaves throughout his nation and change the lives of millions forever.All Rights Reserved

Thorns of Dynasty (ROYAL AU) | LEVI X READER by BooksOfSaeya

They say the crown is a symbol of power, but for me, it has always felt like a cage. As the princess of Yvelia, my life has been dictated by duty, expectation, and sacrifice. I thought I understood what it meant to carry the weight of a kingdom-until the day my father announced my engagement. Not to a prince or a nobleman, but to Levi Ackerman. A knight. A commoner. A man who, despite his legendary reputation, seemed utterly unimpressed with me or my title. From the moment we met, it was clear: we were oil and water. He saw me as a spoiled royal unfit for the throne, and I saw him as nothing more than an arrogant soldier with no place in my world. But when shadows threaten the crown and betrayal lurks within the court, I am forced to stand beside him. Together, we must navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue, uncover dangerous secrets, and confront enemies both outside and within. I never expected to find strength in his steady presence, nor to glimpse the man behind the icy façade. And as the barriers between us begin to crumble, I must face an undeniable truth: the lines between hate and love are far thinner than I ever imagined. This is the story of how I, a princess bound by duty, and he, a knight burdened by scars, became tangled in a destiny far greater than ourselves.

Tales of the Vangen: The Black Ministry's Betrayal (Book 1) by FritztheGrim

[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)

Ring 1 by zack43040

Truth should be objective, just like the news that reports it. But ensuring that people know the objective truth isn't Ivan Nikol's goal. Ensuring loyalty is. As Carrae's National Director of Media Affairs, Ivan writes the nightly news scripts to keep Carrae's population in line, without regard for truth or falsity. Fake wars, false crime waves, nonexistent serial killers - whatever story will ensure his government's control is the story that Ivan will put on the airwaves. In Carrae, the truth isn't objective; the truth is what Ivan says it is. But even Ivan can't keep an entire country in line forever, not when people start to tire of wars he's invented. That's why, when model citizen Oliver Lambert is called up for mandatory military service by mistake, all but ensuring his death, Ivan sees a prime opportunity to change the script, and redirect the population's focus. Ivan begins to plan a new narrative - one to further cement the government's control, and earn him a place on Carrae's governing Committee. Should he paint Lambert as a victim or criminal? Terrorist or patriot? Get it right, and he'll be up for the promotion to the Committee he's always wanted; get it wrong, and he could fracture the fragile loyalty he's worked years to build.

Zheth's reputation for her silver tongue isn't the only thing that has spread her name through the galaxy, her skills in killing are just as in demand as her mentor, Boba Fett's, had been. When war broke out between the Resistance and First Order she planned to use the rift in peace to her advantage like all of her kind. However, Zheth will soon learn that payment and loyalty are two different things as secrets are revealed, people reappear, and chaos begins to reign supreme over all in this war. She will have to decide who she should really serve, not just as a hired bounty hunter and smuggler, but as a friend who could almost be a family member to some if she'd let them in. Death is the end to all people, or aliens, who choose her path though and in the end she could end up just like her victims if she takes a wrong step.
