I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Nineteen
Erin Lockheart's POVI woke up to the familiar smell of sweat and blood but a completely unfamiliar place. The walls were a deep shade of blue and the luxurious tapestries surrounded the room. The bed I was lying in was warm and soft that it was pulling me back to sleep."Glad to see you're comfortable in my bed." Kai snickered as he leaned against the door frame. I was about to stand up but I realized that I wasn't strong enough yet. So he stated, "Don't push yourself. After such grave injuries, I was expecting you'd wake up after at least a week."Injuries. Ah right. That happened. I looked over my right arm that was completely covered in bandages and remembered how Cadmus violently attacked me and killed Tristan. The thought of it still sends shiver down my spine."Why did you take me in?" I asked. "You asked me to save you." Kai walked towards me and continued, "Besides I'm just taking back what's mine.""I'm not some property you can call yours.""Then why come here?"I hesitate
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty
Erin Lockheart's POVIt has been a couple of weeks since my escape from the Lunaria Kingdom, my right arm has recovered fully but the scars remained. Kai, since then, has left the kingdom to fight his wars and I was left here with at least four guards to accompany me wherever I go.Mostly, I spend my days at the library as the ancient texts about my curse is intact and preserved here. Just as I headed inside, the local librarian greeted me enthusiastically, "Ah, Empress Erin, have you already finished the books I lent you?""You can just call me Erin.""How could I possibly do that? You are Emperor Kai's bride, he'll have my head if I disrespected you."I smiled, "I won't let him do that."Zog, the librarian, handed me books that he dusted as he said, "You must be feeling lonely since the emperor left as soon as you were married."Right. No one knew about the contract relationship except us so I had to pretend that we were in love. This was to protect my social status as well as Kai's
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty One
Erin Lockheart's POVAfter tasking most of my people to prepare the necessary ingredients for the banquet later, I headed downtown, not in any kind of diguise because I am the empress and I have to let them know that I am here. With a simple yet elegant gown, I went market to market to buy decorations, which some of my ladies advised me not to do so.One of them, which is Irina, said, "I don't think high socialites from the kingdom would appreciate you buying local and inexpensive decorations for your first banquet, your majesty. Especially when you're already being compared to the princess they want for the throne.""This is our product. More than anything, this shows who we are." I replied firm with my decision, "I will use our products to help our people and I will put it to good use."I didn't watch all that home makeover and do-it-yourself videos back in college for nothing! I've always wanted to decorate but I never had the funds to do so. Plus, it is good strategy to use our ow

Cadmus Hunter's POVDamn it! Kai was successful in reclaiming parts of their land that I poisoned and that his best potioneer are reversing the effects of the poison. That was our only plan to hold them back! Kai and his 9 men successfully killed or severly injured 50 of my men! That monster!I knew we wouldn't be able to kill Kai but I was hoping at least to make them surrender! Damn it all! Luna placed her hands gently on my shoulders and said, "Calm down.""How am I supposed to calm-" I paused for a while and realized that it was Luna. I apologized and said, "I'm just stressed out.""I know." Luna said in a calming voice and continued, "I... have a plan to help our kingdom.""Luna, I appreciate you trying to help but you shouldn't stress out about these things.""I should." Luna replied firmly, "I am Lunaria's Empress and it is my duty as much as it is yours. I want to help our people and Kai's merciless killings are disgusting. He is killing his own kind and I will not stand by it
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty Three
Erin Lockheart's POVKai carried me all the way to our bedroom and I was protesting, "Hey! Get me down! Hey! Kai!""Quite bold calling me by name, Erin." Kai snickered, he closed the door and gently put me on the bed. He leaned on the door as he grinned at me devilishly, "Good girl, stay. I'll be right back.""Hey! I'm not some puppy-" But before I could even finish, Kai left. Great. It was typical of him to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. I stood up and I was starting to head back to the banquet but just as I was opening the door, Zenn was right in front of me.He scoffed, a little disappointed for some reason but I didn't probe, "Kai really did drag you away from the party.""Yes, now if you will excuse me, I will be heading back." I walked past him and headed back to the palace. Everyone was looking at me and giggling. I cleared my throat and apologized for Kai's sudden behavior. I continued with making allies and now that Kai returned back to the kingdom, alive and well,
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty Four
Kai Griffin's POVI woke up to the sound of Zenn's annoying voice. He went on and on about me leaving Erin all alone on my first night back. Zenn kicked me out the bed and scolded, "Why are you here stealing my bed anyways? You literally live in the castle with much better beds so hurry your ass back there so I can sleep peacefully!""I'm your emperor and I command you to give me this bed." I said, half-asleep. I lazily went back to his bed and threw pillows at him and continued, "You can have this instead.""I slept on the couch at my own house, please don't spend another night here. I'm begging you." I groaned and said, "You can sleep at the castle.""Ah, are you giving Erin to me?" Zenn grinned devilishly but I glared at him and replied, "Don't even think about it. She's mine.""Then go back to your perfect bride and leave my room, I have company coming over." Zenn snickered as he tidy up his place a little. It's definitely another woman. He continued, "Why did you even crash here
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty Five
Erin Locheart's POVI subtly searched the castle for Kai but there was no sign of him so I headed downtown and buy some ingredients. I wasn't sure when Kai was going to return but I figured he misses homecooked meals so it wouldn't hurt to make him one.I'm not the best at cooking but I'm sure I can learn. Hopefully.I know very little about Kai but in contrast to what history has painted him, he is not entirely some evil monster to kills for fun. Otherwise, the whole Raewavell Kingdom would have had him dethroned years ago.Kai is a lone wolf so that meant that people are following him because they wanted to not because they were forced to obey alpha's orders. The Raewavell Kingdom is at disadvantage in comparison to Lunaria's large number of soldier who obeys Cadmus at every whim but the fact that we are winning just shows how much stronger Kai's resolve is.I wonder what his end goal is. Is it just to defeat Lunaria? Is it revenge? Why was he so eager to take me in even when I am n
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty Six
Erin Lockheart's POV Kai repeated his question, "What would you do if I fall in love with you, Erin? Would you stay with me?" The defeaning silence surrounded us and I was speechless. My heart was beating loudly and I couldn't tell whether it was from nervousness or something else entirely. Suddenly, the world had stopped. I didn't know what to say or how to react. My cheeks flushed as he walked towards me, leaning on the wall behind me, I closed my eyes in confusion as I moved my face away from him, and Kai chuckled dryly, "You can't even look at me." He walked away and said, "Stop thinking that you're indebted to me because I saved you or that I'm some kind-hearted man who's your knight in shining armor who rescued you from Cadmus. I saved you because we needed each other. It's as simple as that." "I know that." I replied sternly. It stings a little to hear him say that out loud. I knew that but hearing it is somewhat an entirely different thing. I continued, "I just wanted to d

Legends have it that the cursed princess, Erin Lockheart-Griffin, stayed in Greymane for the rest of her life. Her powers lied dormant after Kai Griffin's death. Throughout her long life of 80 years, she never remarried nor had children, dedicating herself to preserving Kai's memory and tending to the graves of Luna and Cadmus.Rumors whispered of Erin's occasional journeys to Luna and Cadmus' resting places, where she paid homage and sought solace. Some spoke of her using her latent fire magic to hunt down evil werewolves, serving as a silent protector and vigilante in the shadows. However, records of these deeds mysteriously burned, leaving behind only fragmented tales and speculation.The legacy of the Lockheart family endured through Erin's sister and Zenn Griffin. Under their rule, the realm enjoyed a millennium of peace, and over time, the once-feared race of werewolves faded into obscurity, eventually vanishing from existence.In the present day, the kingdoms of Lunaria and Rae
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Fifty Nine
Erin Lockheart's POVAfter barely three years living in Greymane, Kai died. It was sudden and the townspeople, including the imperial doctors that Zenn sent us, could not possibly identify the cause of his death. Kai died on the front porch of our house, as if he knew his time was coming.He had cooked me breakfast, with coffee on the table and left tulips on the bedside with a note that said, "I love you, Erin, you found me in this world, so now I shall find you in every world I go to."He looked so peaceful, leaving me. He was smiling, even in his death. The once-comforting silence now weighed heavily on my heart, devoid of the familiar sounds that had filled our home with warmth and love. It is too quiet now. I could no longer hear his footsteps softly treading across the floor in the early morning hours as he tried to surprise me with flowers or breakfast.I could no longer hear his laughter or the gentle cadence of his voice saying my name with affection.I could no longer hear

Erin Lockheart's POVA few months have passed and now, spring. Right after Zenn's coronation and the formalization of his rule, Kai and I began packing our bags in preparation for our departure. Our destination was Greymane, Kai's mother's hometown—a quaint, mountainous village with a population of just fifty.Kai had been devotedly caring for the place since his mother's passing, and he had long harbored a dream of retiring there and now, he won't be alone there.Zenn bid us farewell with a warm smile. "I will visit sometime soon.""Maybe not too soon," Kai teased, a smirk playing on his lips. "I won't miss your constant presence, always dragging me away from Erin."Zenn chuckled in response. "Erin, I think you'll love it there. Especially during this time of the year.""I'm sure I will," I replied, returning his smile. "Take care of my sister for me. Won't you?"Zenn proudly displayed his wedding band and chuckled. "With my life."I bid farewell to my family. Despite lingering tensi
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Fifty Seven
Kai Griffin's POVUpon the Lockhearts' arrival, I sat upon my throne with Erin at my side. Their eyes deliberately avoided Erin's except for her father's, whose gaze bore straight into mine, pointedly ignoring Erin's presence. Erin's father was as cold as rumors painted him to be—a man of aristocratic cruelty, even among the high-born Lockhearts, some native to Lunaria and others descended from foreign royal bloodlines to try and claim throne for Lunaria Kingdom."They know little of Lunaria," I muttered under my breath.Straightening in my seat, I addressed them coolly, "Welcome to Raewavell. I am eager to hear your petitions to claim rulership over the Kingdom of Lunaria. The people of Lunaria are here as witnesses—they will be the ones you lead.""I hail from House Moonstone, esteemed as the firstborn son and the foremost warrior of our kingdom. The lineage of Moonstone intertwines deeply with the history of Lunaria, spanning generations of steadfast loyalty and valor in our realm'

Kai Griffin's POV"What was so important that you needed me in the council anyway?" I asked Zenn, my impatience evident in my tone."Sit down, Kai," he said, gesturing to the plush chair opposite him. "There's something you need to hear."I complied, settling into the chair with a mixture of curiosity and a touch of unease. Zenn didn't summon me without reason, and his cryptic messages often heralded significant developments—either within our kingdom or beyond its fortified walls."There have been sightings." one of my council members started, "of Lhan and the others trying to claim Lunaria. As you are well aware, Cadmus is dead, there is no one next in line and Lunaria stands there, empty and theirs for the taking.""Lunaria is Erin's hometown. I can't carelessly pick a ruler for Lunaria." "But the small folk there have gone restless. It's been a month that no one's running Lunaria. The people there are clueless." They urged, "You have to choose which lord will sit on Cadmus' throne
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Fifty Five
Kai Griffin's POVAfter hours of dueling with Zenn and Luna's army, carefully avoiding causing them permanent harm, I was exhausted, and nearing my limit. But to my surprise, all of them suddenly stopped and collapsed unconscious. I burdened their pain so when they woke up, they wouldn't be under intense pain.I carried Zenn on my back as I rushed to Erin.I saw Cadmus' garden in flames, and instinctively, I knew that's where Erin would be. I was horrified by the scene before me as I arrived there, as flames engulfed the once serene garden, casting an eerie glow over the devastation. There were hundreds of burned bodies surrounding the garden.I felt a lump in my throat as I searched for Erin. I begged every god I knew that every dead body I saw wasn't hers. Don't let it be Erin.Relief surged through my body as I saw Erin coughing weakly, struggling to move. I hurried to her side and gently lifted her up. "Are you okay?" I asked urgently.Erin managed a warm smile despite her conditi
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Fifty Four
Erin Lockheart's POVI chuckled bitterly at the irony of it all. Luna's eyes widened in horror as she glanced back, only to meet Cadmus's gaze filled with profound disappointment and seething hatred. Only then was Luna able to realize the death that surrounded her and how, for the longest time, she turned a blind eye to all her wrongdoings because she wanted Cadmus to see her.To actually see her.Cadmus's expression hardened as he stared at Luna, his voice thick with disappointment. "You wanted me to see you, Luna," he said, each word laced with bitterness. "Well, here you are. You lost and you killed everyone."Luna recoiled as the weight of her actions crashed down upon her. The garden lay in ruins, the air heavy with the acrid scent of smoke and the lingering echoes of their battle. The bodies of those she had manipulated and controlled lay scattered around them, silent witnesses to her descent into darkness."I did this for us," Luna whispered hoarsely, her voice trembling with a
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Fifty Three
Erin Lockheart's POVLuna stood before Cadmus, positioning herself to shield him from the horrific truth a little while longer. Using her blood magic, she manipulated the people of Lunaria—innocent villagers and Cadmus' own men.Forcing them to enter the garden that I had set ablaze, they screamed in agony as they stepped into the flames.I could smell them burning. It was horrible but Luna didn't mind how many lives she had to sacrifice to strike against me. Enraged, I hurled fireballs toward Luna with all my might. However, she callously used the people—servants and soldiers alike—as human shields, deflecting my attacks with their bodies.I can't carelessly attack her because that would only mean killing more innocent people."Stop it!" I screamed, "Look what you've become! Luna, you're killing everyone!""No, Erin, look at what you made me!" Luna screamed back, "This is who I became because of you! You stole everything from me! So if you're right and all Cadmus cares about is this

Kai Griffin's POV"Damn it, these tunnels are a maze even when sober," I muttered to myself, frustration seeping through. Zenn and I had split up to locate Erin swiftly, but every turn seemed to lead to another dead end. I hope Zenn's having better luck than meAfter getting lost numerous times, I finally stumbled upon Cadmus' quarters. Finding him asleep, I seized the opportunity and pointed my sword at him, demanding, "Where's Erin?"Cadmus stirred awake, unsurprised by my sudden intrusion. He calmly responded, "I knew you'd come to rescue Erin sooner or later.""Where is she?" I pressed."Safe in her room," he assured me, "How did you manage to walk past my guards unharmed? Did you kill them all yet?"I scoffed, "I used the tunnels. Getting Erin out of here is my main priority as much as I want to end you here and now."Suddenly, a familiar voice threatened, "She won't be safe for long if you kill Cadmus." I looked around and saw Luna. She looked sick but I know better than anyone
