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

'Her eyes were the most dazzling of all the stars I had ever seen.'

This was what Prince Hinrik had in mind, with his heart racing while he held on firmly to the warm body on top of him. 

His breath hitched, and for a moment, he was dazzled by Ysabel's sparkling eyes. 

The moment was immediately broken when the latter pulled away, getting back on her feet. She dusted her clothes and did not attempt to offer the prince any form of help. 

"I'm really curious how you always knew where to find me. Are you stalking me?" Ysabel folded her arms over her chest. 

Prince Hinrik chuckled heartily before he found the strength to pull himself back to his feet. He stood face to face with the princess, smirking as he looked back at her horse which neighed upon making eye contact. 

"She remembers me," Prince Hinrik murmured, ignoring Ysabel's queries. This resulted in her making a face and not saying anything in return.
