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

Dance

"Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us."

-Nicole Reed

"Hi!" a cheery voice pulled Hinrik away from his thoughts of Ysabel. The shadow of a slender figure disrupted his view of the princess. 

But not wanting to be rude, Prince Hinrik smiled and shifted his gaze to the person who decided to join him in the corner. 

"Princess Maliya," Hinrik tilted his head, greeting the princess as genuinely as he could. 

Without another word, Princess Maliya extended her hand to him, smiling like she had won the lottery.

"Care to dance?"

Prince Hinrik wanted to play surprised. But this wasn't the first time that a lady had approached him first. 

For others, that would have been something to boast about. But for Hinrik, he finds it rather bothersome because he cannot reject it. Declining would embarrass the lady, and Hinrik wouldn't want that.
