On one side of the Cosmos, king Jervano had given the crown to his youngest daughter, and left his eldest to lay waste in her rage for years. The youngest daughter had given birth to a young princess the year her sister was thrown in a cell. The princess was named Cerena and lived a lavish, healthy life, as the quiet trauma of her aunt stayed quiet from her. Meanwhile on the opposite side, the heir to Emperor Amrow’s rule was presented to the emperor. Amrow glanced at his son, and had him thrown out into a deep pit of exile. The prince was secretly taken to a planet called Alou-Hex and was raised by a local, to be kind and protective. He was named, Mellex. He was never aware of the demonic empire, or of his true father. Years pass, the Princess and Prince meet, and they create a bond stronger than the atmosphere and longer than light years. Book one, of three

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 2–4 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
