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 head of the palace maid carefully folded back Ysabel's clothes into the trunk, her hands trembling a little.

Ysabel stood at the side, plastering a stoic expression while Reis tried not to fidget beside her.

Palace guards were outside the room, as per the servant's second request from the king. With a bit of banter and sarcasm from Ysabel, a select of them, along with those guards from Eyeris, were allowed to stand guard outside the bed chamber.

Turning pale, the palace maid finished fixing Ysabel's dresses after checking her trunks carefully.

The statement she had remarked at the study was for the king's general knowledge. He was surely unaware that the servants must have seen how her brother and Lady Dolores flirted openly last night.

Perhaps, a few of them heard and witnessed their other intimate activity near the sea.

The imagery brought forth a grimace in Ysabel's expression. It was timely that the head of the palace maid glanced in her direction.
