The Dethroned Monarch

A great monarch is not one without flaws, but rather they are those who recognize their shortcomings and continually refine them, turning their flaws into strengths. Such were the principles that Ysabel's mother taught her. However, the very woman had killed herself when her flaws brought her to stand before judgment. Wounded by her mother's betrayal to the crown and their people, Ysabel was stripped of her title and dethroned on the very day she was ready to confess her love to Prince Hinrik. Exiled to live the rest of her life outside the kingdom, Ysabel met a mysterious stranger who gave her a second chance to fix what had gone wrong. Accepting the offer, Ysabel found herself waking up several days before her coronation as the new Queen of Eyeris. Determined to discover the mystery behind her mother's death, Ysabel knew changes were bound to be made. No longer posing as the kind-hearted monarch, Ysabel met Prince Hinrik, the man she had fallen in love with in her previous life. Dead-set on never repeating the same mistakes, Ysabel distanced herself from the dashing Prince. Yet, how long would she be able to resist him when he was living within her reach? -- DISCLAIMER: Cover is not mine

The soft breeze had the leaves of the trees sway in one direction before everything became still again. Ysabel stared at the exact spot where the king got attacked. 

There was no sign of what went down earlier. The blood was gone, and any evidence of the incident had been removed. 

Ysabel half expected it, so she wasn't that disappointed or surprised. However, she was hoping to find something. 

"I hate the feeling of being helpless," she muttered.

With nothing left to inspect, the young monarch took a deep breath and let herself see the surroundings from a different perspective.
