I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Forty One
Kai Griffin's POVI barely slept since last night. All that comes to mind is Erin's well-being. I am restless. I have to see her and make sure she's fine. All the while, I am being flooded with letters from neighboring kingdoms—words travel fast.Overnight, they have heard of what happened at Cadmus' wedding and they branded me as a monster capable of killing someone I hold dearly just to set this war in motion. After all, I did the same thing to get the throne. I killed my own blood. All the letters expressed their fear and withdrew all allegiances formed with the Raewavell Kingdom. They all turned against us; this was Luna's plan all along. "Emperor. Kai, you know you have to rest. You're injured and you're still healing." Zenn said as he entered the room"So is Erin and she's out there alone." I insisted as I continued to send out replies, in hopes of regaining at least half the alliances we had before all this. I know damn well that we're outnumbered and vulnerable so I can't at

Erin Lockheart's POVI ate all the pastries he gave me without hesitation. I was really hungry after last night. He was laughing as he watched me marvel. "I forgot how big your appetite was.""It's not." I cleared my throat. "I was just hungry.""You always are.""I'm not," I said as I continued to gobble the food down my throat. This reminds me of how we were kids. Although it was the original Erin Lockheart's memory, I can still feel it as if they were mine. It feels weird. I feel like an impostor.Cadmus' gaze fell to the metal binding my arms and legs. "I'm sorry that it had to be like this, but I know the minute I took these off, you'd run back to Kai, and I refuse to lose you a second time.""Kai isn't a bad person. He's not who you think he is.""You love him; of course you'd say that." There was bitterness in his tone, and his face says it all. It was pointless reasoning with him. If I were him, I wouldn't believe me either. Kai's reputation precedes him. It's a fact that he k
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Forty Three
Kai Griffin's POVIt's been days since they took Erin away from me, and the only thing I could do was distract myself from marching straight to Lunaria Kingdom by killing. This war that they started has caused the small people to suffer the consequences.There are countless pillages that have happened in our lands, especially those that are far within my reach. Men have held the Lunaria Kingdom's banners as they burned cities after cities and killed innocent women and children who didn't even know that war had begun.They outnumber us, so I could only battle so much. Zen was on horseback as he saw me all bloodied after my fight against some of Cadmus' men who were trying to take Moon River, a small town by the forest that is mainly occupied by farmers and miners. Zen sighed in relief. "Thank the gods, you're safe. I heard you came here alone. Have you gone mad?"I removed my helmet and replied, "We don't have enough men.""That doesn't mean you have to fight alone! You're our emperor
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Forty Four
Erin Lockheart's POVI protested, "Come on, it's been days already. How long are you planning on keeping me here?"Luna scoffed, "As long as I have to. Kai is currently overwhelmed by our number, and he could barely reclaim their lands as fast as we could conquer them. It's only a matter of time until he is exhausted and vulnerable. He's not an alpha like Cadmus is, so his men would surely turn their backs on him once he started losing.""You're keeping me here because you know I have the power to turn it upside down.""As do I.""I know blood magic has its limitations despite being a great power." I continued, "I know you can't use it at great distances or when someone's will is greater than yours.""Fire magic has its limitations too. You can't do magic on a large scale continuously. There's a reload time, and you've never even been able to use it until that blood moon." Luna said, "It's pointless comparing. We both know we're equal when it comes to magic.""Then I guess I'll have t

Erin Lockheart's POV"You want me to make him a villain?""It's the truth. Erin, when you first saw him, he tried to kill you because he saw a vision of you, and isn't he using your powers to conquer Lunaria?""What would that accomplish? Kai already has a reputation for such things." I gritted my teeth as I imagined the effects it would have on Kai if I threw him under the bus. I know he wouldn't care about what other people are saying about him, but if it came from me, he would be... heartbroken.And I wouldn't want to do that. I don't want to be the cause of his downfall."True, but those words coming from you would make him heartbroken and vulnerable." Cadmus said, "His own people would doubt him. You, Erin, are the only thing that makes him appear human to others, without you, they'll see him as he is—a monster."Cadmus added, "Raewavell's men are losing more battles against us than they've won. Their morale is down and his warriors are questioning their ability to win. If you d

Kai Griffin's POV"These men are the best of the best." Zenn said as he assembled the men, "But we're still greatly outnumbered.""And the men that the allies provided?" "They're already here." Zenn gritted his teeth, "Those cunning snakes! They gave you half the men they promised.""They'll give me the other half if I succeed in reclaiming Silvercrest." I continued, "They're cutting their losses. They're being cautious. If I win, they get their land; if I lose and I'm dead, they'll have no one to answer to.""And you're fine with this?""I'll take whatever I can." I continued, "Let's march. I have a war to win and a girl to save."With only a few warriors by my side, I put the kingdom in Zenn's skilled hands, leaving him with the majority of our armies. I couldn't risk leaving our house undefended, despite Zenn's harsh warnings about the dangers of my personal involvement. These warriors had pledged their devotion to me and agreed to fight beside me on the battlefield."They wouldn'

Erin Lockheart's POVAnother day has passed as they all await my answer. No one would tell me anything about Kai or Raewavell's condition, but I have to keep hoping that all is well.Interrupting my thoughts, Cadmus entered the room with a deep sigh. "You have to stop being so stubborn, Erin.""I can't exactly run away now, so that's all I can be right now—someone stubborn.""Erin, I know you feel strongly for Kai, but realistically speaking, I can give you the life you want." Cadmus continued, "I can't let you run back to him now for the good of my kingdom and yours.""You can't let me go unless I villainize him in front of everyone.""He is a villain, Erin. When will you see that?" Cadmus said, almost desperately, "It's inevitable. He will lose; even with your help, you're outnumbered. You can win battles, but not this war. No kingdom will stand idly by to let Kai rule all kingdoms.""I'm offering you these terms to save you. Everyone else, including Luna, wanted you gone. This is t
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Forty Eight
Cadmus Hunter POVI've had a lingering feeling that the Erin I once knew, my childhood friend, is no longer present. Yet, I hesitated to acknowledge it fully because it would mean that her soul left Lunaria Kingdom while waiting for my return and no one even noticed.Erin met my gaze squarely as she spoke, her words confirming my suspicions. "You're right. I'm not the real Erin—the one you grew up with. I have her memories and her body, but not her soul.""I see," I responded quietly. "Can you explain what happened?""In my world," Erin began, her voice carrying the weight of a profound revelation: "I was the writer of this story. The night I died, for reasons I still can't fathom, I ended up here." She paused, gathering her thoughts. "Originally, the plot was that Erin Lockheart died tragically, and her death brought you and Luna closer as the protagonists. In a desperate attempt to rewrite my fate, I interfered with the story, bringing us all into this uncertain reality. I'm not sur

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

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

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
