Early Bird: The Princess Ruined, Ch. 02 (Patreon)

In which the slow burn continues, with Motley being saved from a motherly plantgirl, Lily meeting with an old friend, and far-off in Hopesway, a sadistic young noblewoman toying with her knights, hypnotizing away a luckless maid's confidence, and getting word of the approaching Harvest Ball.

Hello, my lovelies!

First, an announcement: Yes, Charmbait got taken down. The removal was not up to me. I appealed and have not yet heard back, but I'm certain it was an automated decision. In the meantime, it will be made available elsewhere. If you want more information, please check out on the Discord! Otherwise, it'll be up on the usual sites in a few weeks. Sorry about this!

So, I actually got very generously commissioned specifically to fast-track the next two chapters of this story, which has been really nice! It's admittedly still a pretty slow burn.

I should be clear: The Harvest Ball is going to be more where this story starts than where it reaches its conclusion. Lily isn't in for an instant loss. That might not be good news for her. But I'm super excited for what's coming next.

Coming this month, we should have an extra-long Bad End this week featuring a semi-prequel to Honeytrapped Heroes (voted for on the Discord!), then the conclusion to Down to Her Level, and then Princess Ruined Ch. 03!

After that... we'll see! I have a few commissions lined up for August which I think are gonna be a lot of fun. With these stories ready and queued, I'll be turning to a very late follow-up to Head Over Heels where our would-be adventurer encounters a new seductive threat, as well as a new short series about a few adventurers investigating a demon-corrupted town. And I have a few ideas for microfics, but I have got to make sure they don't run as long as the Honeytrapped Heroes thing turned out.

Anyways, enjoy!
