I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Fifteen
Cadmus Hunter's POVDespite barely being able to walk and with bandages all over my body, I couldn't show any sign of weakness, especially now that the entire kingdom is thrown into chaos. I kept my composure and endured the pain as I sat down the meeting table. Esteemed generals, counselors, and head of each major families sat down as well. I cleared my throat and began, "First of all, I would like to take the time to thank each of you for your patience and time to attend this meeting.""We came as soon as we heard you were doing okay." Counselor Adam said, "It's wise to show everyone that you're back on your feet. It lessened their anxiety.""Still, the problem is at hand. What will you do with that girl?" General Smith demanded an answer, "It was an excellent plan to use her as bait against Kai Griffin but given the circumstances now, the kingdom will be better off without her.""You say that as if Erin Lockheart is an object that could be discarded anytime." I scoffed"She is cur

Erin Lockheart's POVI had managed to momentarily slip past the watchful guards outside Cadmus' quarters. I needed this fresh air. Just to think that in the few moments of freedom that I had, I was about to give it away for Cadmus and to hear him say those cold things, it was... like a dagger into my heart.It was more than a wake up call. We would never be together because of who he is and who I am. There was no other way around it.But I wasn't going to sulk around all day. I had promised Charlotte that I would live. I can't die again. Especially not for our kind, who had treated me like trash. I had a plan. I knew how to survive this but in order to do so, I had to make a deal with a devil named Kai Griffin.My vision before was wrong. The ball wasn't in two months time. It was tomorrow. I don't have much time.I had to do it at the busiest time where everyone would be distracted- the grand ball where Cadmus would choose his mate and that would be Luna. It was the unavoidable truth
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Seventeen
Cadmus Hunter's POVI woke up the next day feeling a little foggy but as I opened my eyes, I saw Erin's face a few inches across mine and she said with a straight face, "Oh, you're awake. Everyone's been looking for you."Ah. Seeing her look at me so sternly like that makes me sad. Draining her of her warmth and smile was the worst thing I did. She hated me so much that she slept on the couch to avoid me. I couldn't blame her. I looked away and said, "Oh, right. The ball. I should get going.""Yeah, you should."There was now a great divide between us and I knew I was to blame. I headed to my dressing room and prepared for the ball, which I have no interest in, but it was my duty to ensure that my people feels safe with the lineage.On my way there, I bumped into a familiar face, it was Luna. I asked, "What are you doing here?""I was tasked for the flower arrangements of today's event." Luna raised her eyebrow in confusion, "You, yourself, chose me and paid a large sum of money in ad
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Eighteen
Erin Lockheart's POVEverything was happening all too quickly. Charlotte was dead and I was just processing how she was the one who brought me back to life in hopes to use me for her revenge and how the real Erin couldn't deal with the fact that she was capable of destroying an entire race that she killed herself instead.Everything led up to this moment.Everything was falling into chaos. Am I going to die now? How would I survive such night with all the werewolves out for blood? My blood. The potion enhances their innate violence meaning that if they wanted me dead before all this, that potion is fuel to that fire.Their senses are sharp so I can't just sneak out and I can't hide forever either since they would eventually find me. What should I do?Just then, Tristan smashed open the door, he was as confused as I was but he asked, "Are you hurt?""I'm okay.""I came back because I was wondering what took you so long and I see the whole kingdom in shambles." Tristan saw Charlotte dea
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

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

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

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

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
