I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Twenty Seven
Kai Griffin's POVMy conversation with my spirit wolf was cut short as Zenn hurriedly entered the castle. By the look of Zenn's face, I couldn't really tell whether I would be glad to stop the nagging or would rather have the nagging than hear the bad news Zenn brings.Zenn was catching his breath as he walked towards me. He said, "A messenger arrived.""And?""It's from Lunaria."I immediately headed outside and saw Lunaria's banners hanging from a carriage. The messenger was inside with a couple guards. Even from where I was at, I could tell that the messenger was some nobleman with high status. Cadmus purposely sent someone of his status to make sure that if I did try to kill or imprison this man, I would lose many supporters. Well played.I sighed deeply and asked, "What news did he bring?"Zenn gave me a letter with Lunaria's seal and replied, "He wouldn't say anything but he brought you this. As soon as I got it, I came here so I don't know what it's all about.""Unless it's new

Erin Lockheart's POVThe next few days weren't as different. Kai still kept himself locked up in his room and housekeepers would bring him food, which he would only eat in the morning. He was a prisoner by his own wishes and each time I knock, he would tell me to go away.The housekeepers wouldn't tell me anything. I bothered them every hour of the day and still nothing so I decided to head to Zenn's house and entered so casually. Zenn was half-naked when he woke up, surprised, he asked, "Foreign empress, what a lovely surprise.""Good you're awake. Now, get dressed, I have some questions.""Demanding but only Kai can order-" He started but I cut him off and said, "If you refuse to answer my questions, I'd say you lured me here and took advantage of my weakness, taking my maidenhood."He snickered confidently, "As if Kai would believe you.""Oh he will." I grinned devilishly, "Want me to test that theory?"Zenn gulped hard and figured that I could actually pull it off, he faked a smil

Erin Lockheart's POV I watched as the sun sets down the horizon and the loud howls outside started to echo. All the humans have evacuated at the nearby town that is prohibited to werewolves but I was inside here, terrified of my own fate,. I am a werewolf too, I know, but right now, I'm as vulnerable as a human. I am unable to transform after all and Kai is locked up in his room. I'm on my own as I prepared for the worst. Suddenly, I heard some rustling outside. I didn't take make a sound but the sound of scratching became too violent and I could see a couple of werewolves outside the castle howling and prying the barricade open. I grabbed Kai's sword and wielded it. It was heavier than I could handle but I had no choice. As soon as the barricade was torn down, the werewolves transformed back to their human forms, some of them I recognize from Kai's men and they were snickering. I could feel their murderous intent. I tried to keep my composure and threatened them, "What's the mean

Erin Lockheart's POV I woke up from a silly dream. It was... It felt so real. I dreamt of Kai saying he loves me and now, I couldn't keep my heart still. As I opened my eyes, ther first thing I saw was Kai sleeping beside me. My eyes widened from surprised and I immediately pulled back until I rolled down the bed. I groaned sharply as I hit the floor and saw my bruises, some were almost healed. The loud thud woke Kai up and he stared at me. He didn't say anything but he stared at me. I was loss for words so I looked away and stuttered, "What are you doing here? Why are you in my room?" He lifted the blanket exposing his bare skin and walked towards me. My face was all red as I protested, "Hey! Where are you going? What do you think you're doing? Why are-" But before I could say anything more, he carried me back to bed and said, "You should rest more." He checked my scars and bruises, he found the bite mark on my upper thigh as it was the deepest of my scars, it took the longest t

Erin Lockheart's POV Later that day, I fitted the dresses I would be wearing at the wedding, we are to wear our kingdom's colors with jewelries harvested from our land as well and I wear them with pride. I reminded myself that this is my home now and despite being an empress by contract, I have to do my duty to my people. I took a deep breathe as the thought sinks in. Only a hours later, I would see Cadmus and Luna again. This time, following their original plot, they are together. I had no idea what I would feel. Would it be envy? Happiness? Betrayal? Who knows. Kai told me about the text Zenn was able to find during his hunt. My emotions would be the trigger to set my power off. I have to be cautious that I won't hurt any innocent people. Despite all this, I can't seem to shake the dream I had of Kai. The dream where he said he loved me. No matter what I do or what I tell myself, I can't seem to get it off my mind, I must be going crazy. I'm sure I'd get hurt if I fall in love w

Cadmus Hunter's POV I received word that Erin and Kai would be attending the wedding so everything is going according to plan. We needed to buy time to concoct our newest potion, thanks to Luna's plan, it will give us an edge against the war with Raewavell. The potion will create plague in their land and leave us unaffected since we have an antidote. Weakening their forces, we could easily overtake the forest for the winter sleep. Luna entered my chambers wearing her exquisite wedding gown, she looked radiant in white with her soft features and lovely smile. She said, "Do you like it?" "I wasn't suppose to see you in your wedding dress before the wedding. It's bad luck in our belief." I reminded her. "Oh right." Luna replied, "I forgot. Then, I'll change into something else and not show you!" "Erin will be attending." I cleared my throat and continued, "As planned." "Is that so? That's good then." Luna continued, "Tonight will be a blood moon, it will be the perfect setting t

Erin Lockheart's POV I protested as he stole a kiss from me, "Hey! How dare you kiss me with my guard down?!" "You did the same thing to me, I just returned the favor." Kai smirked, "But, the next time you want to kiss me, just say the word." Flustered, I looked away, "I did not. I didn't kiss you. I couldn't have. Did... I?" "If you're going to kiss me, at least do it consciously." Kai snickered "You do have fun teasing me, do you?" "It's my earthly pleasure." He pulled up the blanket and tucked me in like I was his most prized possession but even most prized, I knew that was all I was to him. A possession. I frowned at the thought of it but the thought of it was the truth. That I was some military advantage against Lunaria and that I had to do everything in my power to be just that. Once I've done my purpose, I've played my part, destroy the kingdom I once called home, only then will I get to live safely. No. Lunaria wasn't my home. It never was. Kai's sole purpose of havin
I REINCARNATED AS THE CURSED PRINCESS Chapter Thirty Four
Erin Lockheart's POV I had worn the gown representing our kingdom and rode the carriage with Kai. He still seems troubled and he hasn't spoken a word since last night when the maid had knocked. I was about to ask him but then he noticed a strand of my hair out of place and fixed it. I chuckled softly and he asked, "What?" "I just... I noticed you have a lot on your plate and you have this disposition where you look like you'd kill anyone who tried to disrupt your thoughts and yet, you noticed that strand of hair." I smiled, "You are more thoughtful than I thought." "Just towards you," Kai replied. "I'm sorry if I've been too preoccupied. I just can't help it. I have had this bad feeling ever since I received the invitation. Something's not adding up. Why now? Is it merely a strategic way to buy time and gain alliances? Why do I keep getting the feeling that there's more to it?" Kai continued, "I've known Cadmus for a long time if anything, he isn't someone who'll break tradition

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.

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

"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
