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 baker

"I don't need a name nor names," Ysabel claimed. She listened to the echo of her boots on the asphalt. 

The baker had his head lowered while the young monarch tried to get some answers out of him. After realizing that someone was sabotaging the game, she decided to cancel the quest for the day and had everyone take the day to rest and prepare for tomorrow's quest. 

But she didn't disclose what happened in the pantry. She made the excuse of suddenly feeling ill.

It was a great save for the baker and his apprentice who Ysabel sent home with the untouched pie and the apples that were supposed to be used.

Upon learning of the boy's situation, Ysabel took pity and hoped she could pay the family a visit. 

'There must be something I could do for them. I hate having to see the child sacrifice his childhood to support his family. I'm sure his parents feel the same way.'
