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

Mistake

"Winning a woman's heart doesn't make someone a man, learning to treasure that heart after it's won is what makes someone a real man."

When Ysabel left the courtyard, she had no other destination in mind. Hence, she dismissed the two palace maids who were ready to accompany her anywhere she was headed. 

"You may leave. I'll be in my room after taking a breather."

Although they were strictly commanded never to leave Ysabel alone after her escapade last time, the two palace maids bid Ysabel's orders and went to help in the kitchen. 

Once she was alone, the young monarch found her way to get to the archery. In there, she appreciated the quiet. 

But it was only for the first few seconds before footsteps broke the silence. 

"You look so brave and bold out there and yet you look like a thousand armies had defeated you."
