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 sound of water made Ysabel look in that direction. She saw the surface glisten against the moonlight from nearby. 

Along with it, she saw movement.

"There's someone over there," she whispered, halting Prince Hinrik. The young prince touched the hilt of his sword. He squinted, narrowing his gaze.

"Princess," Prince Hinrik extended his hand to her. "I'm afraid we'll have to say goodbye to your horse and walk the rest of the way."

Ysabel didn't argue. She knew it was coming. The horse was dragging its legs, and she felt it was whining in silence. 

But Ysabel hesitated. She realized she'd been relying on Prince Hinrik all night long. Yet it couldn't be helped. 

Gradually, she took him up on his offer and slipped her hands into his waiting one. With that arranged, Ysabel let him help her get off the horse, the two of them exchanging glances before Ysabel cleared her throat.
