I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Ten
Erin Lockheart's POV What was that about? I looked at Cadmus who was buttoning up his shirt and asked, "Who... was that?" He seemed extremely furious, his tone was aggitated when he answered, "That was Kai Griffin, you have no idea how dangerous that man is. He could have killed you. Kai is the Raewavell Kingdom's lone wolf. He's their emperor." Cadmus was clearly frustrated, "How could he managed to slip past the guards? Stay here." But almost too recklessly, I grabbed his hand and said, "I'm fine, Cadmus, I'm not hurt." "But you could have died, Erin." Cadmus said sharply, "You can't keep bringing people down with you. You're not a kid anymore so stop acting stupid." "I'm not stupid." "Then stop acting like one!" Cadmus continued, "If you had finished your reading like you were supposed to as a royalty, you would have known who he was and what he was capable of. If you weren't born a cursed-" He stopped as he realized what he was about to say. He saw the tears on my eyes falli

Erin Lockheart's POV After a few more hours, the grandmasters questioned me all about the books I have just finished reading, becase well, almost dying doesn't excuse me from my duties and that is to be pawn so my sister, Eunice, could have a better shot at marrying Cadmus and elevating the family status and power. Duty and sacrifice. Those in higher status have heavier burden. It's not all tea time and pretty dresses. "Excellent." The grandmaster scribbled notes in his paper and said, "You passed with only two mistakes but we can work with that. Get dressed for later, you will be taking lessons for social dancing for your birthday tomorrow." "Preparations are done by your mother, all you have to do tomorrow is impress them." I wanted to roll my eyes out loud but I can't be that immature. The grandmaster listed down all the names of whoever's coming tomorrow in trying to get my hand. He even mentioned a few powerful families likes the Damons, Ironhearts, and Chengs. Some of the o

Cadmus Hunter's POV Erin was always the unpredictable. Even her fate remains uncertain, but then again, so was everyone else's, still, Erin Lockheart remains a threat to the kingdom. I don't believe such useless prophecies but my opinion weighs very little at the matter. The prophecy of the cursed blood moon was believed way before our existence. Traditions and cultures are not so easily changed and even I cannot challenge that. Even so, without it, Erin remains a mystery and a curiosity for me. I cannot read her mind. I cannot fathom what she feels. Her actions are erratic. She is careless. At times, she is the bravest person I know, the other, she is breaking into million tiny pieces. She can be the most childish girl I know and then she would say things that even I could never attain the wisdom to say myself. How she does it beats me. I hated how she was like an equation I could never assess. So right now, how she's looking at me directly like that was a challenge. I wondere

Erin Lockheart's POVI chuckled dryly, there was a pause before I answered, "What are you talking about, Charlotte? Of course, I'm Erin.""Not the Erin I knew." Charlotte asked, "You're not her, aren't you?"I was dumbfounded. I didn't know how to react or what I should say. Should I tell her the truth? Wouldn't I sound insane if I did? In my silence, she found my answer. Charlotte smiled gently, "Can I ask if the real Erin died?"I could only imagine the pain she was feeling right now. Erin was her closest friend and the fact that she knew I wasn't the real Erin but hoped that I was must be so devastation for her. She deserved to know the truth, in the very least so I nod.The real Erin died on her birthday. She took her life because she couldn't bear it anymore. I died in my world and lived Erin's life as another chance. I didn't know why Erin, or why I was reincarnated at all, but I was. Charlotte sniffled, "Thank you for telling me. It makes... everything easier now."I was about

Erin Lockheart's POV"What are you doing here?" "I simply came by to greet you, my lady, a happy birthday." Kai snickered as he looked at me. I glared at him and said, "You wanted me dead and now you're here to greet me?""I did want you dead but not anymore."Cadmus scoffed, "Had a change of heart?""Maybe. But you knew that already, didn't you?" Kai swung his black sword at Cadmus managing to slice his cheek a little. Kai continued, "After all, you used her as bait to get me, didn't you? Aren't you a villain, Cadmus?""Bait?" I looked at Cadmus and asked, "What does he mean by that? What bait?""Knights, take Erin out of here and keep everyone inside the palace. I'll deal with this." Cadmus didn't even looked at me as he ordered that coldly. Deep down, I think I knew he was using me. But a part of me didn't want to believe it.Ah. I wasn't rejected by my fated mate. Not directly, but this feels just as worse. I could feel my heart shattering and I wanted to wolf out. I was so angry

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

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 Sixty
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
