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

Blood.

It was the only thing Ysabel could see when she crawled out from under the table. By then, the person responsible for killing the cook was long gone, and if a servant hadn't screamed, she wouldn't have had the courage to leave her hiding place. 

The young monarch couldn't remember who brought her to her bed chamber. She was at a loss, recalling the moment before the cook was stabbed to his death. 

'I could have done something,' Ysabel thought, her hands shaking and her fingers were trembling terribly. 

A few minutes after she had been taken to her chamber, the double doors swung open, and Reis came in, immediately tending to her. 

Before the former palace maid could say anything, Ysabel pubbed her hand and pulled her into a tight hug.
