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

"Secrets die, but secrecy grows."

-Paul Christopher Johnson

When Hinrik left, Gwendolyn snickered at Ysabel before whistling and heading to his room. The latter clicked her tongue, rolling her eyes as she watched him disappear from her sight.

Once alone with Reis and Nolan, Ysabel blew out an exhausted sigh. 

"You two can get some rest. I will tour the house and see if there's anything interesting to do here for the next few days."

"I'm coming with you, your highness," Reis perked up. 

"I will not miss out on the fun either," Nolan beamed. Ysabel glanced at Reis before shifting her attention to Nolan. They looked determined to come along with her. Their faces looked alert, and the smile on each lip forced her to accept their proposal.

"Alright. But I hope this isn't a scheme of keeping me guarded," she paused, narrowing her gaze at the two. "Or is it?"

Reis bit her lower lip.
