THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 61
Chapter 61: The Royal Family ReunitedLucian stood in the doorway while his eyes are fixed on the young boy seated on the edge of the bed. Despite Liam's confusion of what was happening around him, the boy still seemed calm, his wide eyes . Lucian felt an inexplicable connection to the child, a strange sense of admiration that he couldn't quite place.The moment he saw Liam back at the village, he had been mesmerized by the boy's striking blue eyes, a vivid reminder of the first time he saw Isabel. Those eyes, so similar to hers, had caught him off guard. Yet, unlike Isabel's golden locks, Liam's hair was dark, likely inherited from his father. Yet again, the thought of Isabel having someone else's child angered him once more, but despite his fury, he couldn't bring himself to direct it at the boy.Suddenly, Liam stood up, bowing slightly as he greeted Lucian with an unexpected level of reverence. "Your Majesty," he said in a clear, steady voice.Lucian's eyes narrowed slightly, intri

Chapter 62: Divide and conquer"Mother!" Liam cried, reaching out for her. Lucian carefully set him down, and the boy who have missed his mother dearly immediately ran into Isabel's arms, clinging to her tightly.Isabel hugged him as her tears began streaming down her face. "Liam, my little baby," she whispered, holding him close. Lucian watched the reunion with an unfamiliar tightness in his chest. He had expected relief, perhaps even satisfaction, but instead, he felt an overwhelming sense of vulnerability."Liam, would you like something to eat or drink?" Lucian asked, attempting to coo the child that alarmed Isabel somehow.The boy looked up at his mother, then back at Lucian. "Your Majesty, I only want to stay with my mother," he said softly and politely.Lucian nodded, understanding the boy's need for his mother. "Very well," he said. "You can stay here with her." He glanced at Isabel. "If there's anything you need, just let the guards know."Isabel's expression hardened. "You'

Chapter 63: The Dead Boy's MotherLucian's voice echoed inside the room as he called out for his guards."Take this boy away!” he commanded out of anger as his men immediately made their way to take Liam out of the room."Don't hurt him! No! Liam!" Isabel cried out, trying to reach her son as he was being taken away. Liam cried out to his mother, his voice filled with fear and desperation."Mother! Please, help me!" Liam's small voice echoed in the room, his eyes wide with terror as the guards pulled him away."Take him to the dungeon with his father!" Lucian added, his voice cold and resolute.Isabel's heart shattered at those words. She fell to her knees, her hands reaching out in a desperate plea. “Please, no! Not Liam! He’s just a child! Don’t do this, Lucian, I beg you!”Lucian’s face remained impassive, though a flicker of something unreadable passed through his eyes. “You have defied me, Isabel. This is the consequence of your actions.”She crawled towards Lucian, tears streami

Chapter 64: Threat to the ThroneThe sun shone brightly over the courtyard as the sun rays touched on the lush green grass where Julian played. Victoria watched him from a shaded bench while her eyes followed his every move. Julian's laughter echoed through the courtyard as he chased a butterfly, his small feet pattering on the cobblestone path.Julian’s hair gleamed in the sunlight, its dark trands catching the light as he darted around, his arms outstretched in pursuit of the elusive butterfly. His laughter rang out with pure and unburdened sound that filled the courtyard with life. Victoria’s heart swelled with love as she watched him, her lips curving into a rare, genuine smile. She marveled at how much Julian had grown. Just a few years ago, he had been a helpless infant in her arms, and now he was a lively boy full of curiosity and energy. Her thoughts drifted to the times Lucian had looked at Julian, his gaze distant and cold. He stared at their son as if he knew something was

Chapter 65: The unloved sonJulian stood on the balcony of his room, peering down at the serene pond below. The stillness of the water was broken only by the occasional ripple caused by fish swimming just beneath the surface. Bored and restless, Julian picked up a handful of small rocks by the neaby plant pot and began tossing them into the pond, watching the splashes and the ensuing ripples with mild amusement.Thwack. Another stone hit the water, sending concentric circles outward.Thwack.Thwack.Julian sighed, his own loneliness pressing down on his young shoulders. He turned to one of the servants who stood discreetly nearby, ever watchful."When will mother return? What is taking her so long?" he asked, his voice carrying a note of impatience. "I’m bored of waiting."The servant who was an older woman with kind eyes, stepped forward slightly, her expression sympathetic. "Her Majesty is attending to some important matters, Your Highness. She should return shortly. Perhaps there i

Chapter 66: Burn the world for you“No... No... L-Liam...” Isabel frantically stuttered, her eyes wide with fear and disbelief.Victoria, who had been watching felt triumphant. Everything was falling into place perfectly. And so she concealed her satisfaction by swiftly changing her demeanor, adopting a look of concern and innocence as she knelt down to comfort her son, who was also trembling in fear.“What dead boy, my love?” she asked, her voice soft and soothing, masking her true intentions.Julian's eyes were wide with horror, still fixed on the scene before him. He struggled to find his voice, his small hands clutching at Victoria's dress. “The boy... the one they were carrying... he looked dead,” he whispered, his voice breaking.Isabel’s breath caught in her throat as she took in Julian’s words, her heart pounding in her chest. Her eyes widened with the sudden realization that the young boy Julian had seen was, indeed, her own son. Her entire world seemed to crumble around her,

Chapter 67: Flowers of DeceitIsabel's tears continued to flow, but she remained silent, her heart a tumult of emotions. Lucian's words were both a balm and a dagger, soothing her pain while reminding her of the precariousness of her situation.After ensuring Isabel was settled, Lucian left her in the care of a trusted maid and exited the room. His demeanor changed instantly from tender to resolute as he marched down the palace corridors. His mind was set on confronting Victoria, the source of so many of his troubles.He found her in the palace gardens, a picture of serene beauty amid the blooming flowers. Julian, their son, was at her side, mirroring her calm demeanor. The scene might have seemed peaceful to an outsider, but Lucian saw it for what it was—a carefully crafted facade."Where is the boy?" Lucian's voice cut through the air, sharp and demanding.Victoria turned, her expression one of practiced innocence. "What boy do you mean, my love?""Do not play games with me, Victori

Chapter 68: The Calm Before the Storm Victoria’s smile faltered at the truth in Leticia’s words. Rage boiled over within her, and without a second thought, she slapped Leticia across the face. The sound echoed through the room, but the princess remained calm and her expression unchanged as she absorbed the blow. Leticia slowly turned her head back to face Victoria, her eyes serene and unyielding. A small, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips as if she had expected this reaction. "You wretch!" Victoria hissed, her voice trembling with fury. Leticia remained seated, her calm demeanor very much opposite to Victoria’s fury. She gently touched her reddening cheek, then looked up at Victoria with pity and amusement. “Why are you mad?” Leticia asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of mockery. “You had me here chained on both ankles, and yet it seems to me that between the two of us, you're the one who looks like a prisoner. What are you afraid of, Victoria?” Victoria’s eyes

THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 112
Chapter 112: A Beautiful Second ChanceIsabel and Prince Raphael strolled through the tall maze garden as the greenery surrounded them like a living wall. The winding paths created an air of intimacy that Raphael seemed all too eager to exploit. Isabel’s arm was linked with Raphael’s as they walked, and he, ever the charming gentleman, leaned in closer with every step, his laughter echoing through the garden.Meanwhile, Tristan was not far behind and was hidden just enough to avoid being seen but close enough to watch the unfolding scene with growing irritation. He had followed them into the maze out of sheer stubbornness, unable to stomach the sight of Raphael’s overly friendly manner.As Raphael pointed out an intricately carved stone bench, suggesting they take a seat, Tristan rolled his eyes from his concealed vantage point. “A bench? Really? How original,” he muttered under his breath, his frustration bubbling over.Isabel, for her part, seemed oblivious to Raphael’s advances. Sh

Chapter 111: A child's pleaAnd so in the months that followed, Isabel remained true to her word.

(This chapter is dedicated to my favourite song "The ones we once loved" by Ben&Ben. It would be nice if you lovely readers would listen to it too ^^)Chapter 110: Goodbye to the one I once LovedSuddenly, Ilyana interrupted with a cheeky smile. “Says who?” she asked, raising an eyebrow playfully as she looked at Isabel and Liam.Isabel blinked in surprise, her confusion evident. “Mother...?”Without another word, Ilyana raised her hand, signaling the guards to open the grand doors. The heavy wooden doors creaked as they swung open, and the sound of footsteps echoed through the hall. Isabel’s eyes widened as a group of men dressed in full black warrior tunics, their faces obscured by hoods, marched into the room in a precise formation.Two of the men, armed with swords at their sides and bows and arrows strapped to their backs, led the procession. Behind them walked a man whose hands were tightly bound, his head slightly bowed, concealing his features. Following this captive were two
THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 109
Chapter 109: Says Who?The throne room was heavy with the echoes of Teressa’s confession and each word lingered in the air like a ghost from the past. Ilyana sat frozen on the throne, her mind reeling as the truth unraveled before her. She had spent years nursing her bitterness, her anger directed at the man she once loved, believing him to be a betrayer. But now, faced with the painful reality, the walls she had built around her heart began to crumble.Ilyana’s gaze fell to the floor, her vision blurred with tears. The memories of Alistair flooded her mind—the way his eyes would light up when he saw her, the warmth of his embrace, and the quiet moments they had shared away from the burdens of royalty. She remembered how he would bring her fresh fruit each morning, smiling like a child proud of his small gift, and how he would fret if she stayed up late, worrying that she would exhaust herself with royal duties. His gentle nature, his kindness, his insecurities—they were all things sh

Chapter 108: The Farmer who loved an Empress"Your Majesty!" Teressa’s voice trembled as she bowed deeply, her fear palpable. She could barely raise her head to meet Ilyana's blazing eyes.Ilyana’s disdain was evident as she glared at the cowering woman. "The audacity of you to show yourself after what you have done!" she roared, her hand lifted in a threatening gesture, ready to strike. The air crackled with tension as her anger seemed almost tangible.Isabel with her heart pounding, leaped forward, positioning herself between Ilyana and Teressa. "Mother, no! Please don’t hurt her… Please..." Her voice quavered with desperation as she tried to shield Teressa while her eyes looked at her, pleading. "She took care of me and loved me even though I am not her own child!"Ilyana’s eyes narrowed, her anger unrelenting. "She was the one who took you away from me! She was your father's mistress!" The accusation flew from her lips like venom as each word dripped with betrayal and bitterness.
THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 107
Chapter 107: At Last"Are you pushing me away again? Am I still not good enough for you? Were you scared to see that I have changed?" Isabel's voice wavered as her insecurities finally spilled out, no longer hidden behind the mask of a princess. The memory of the last time she had confessed her love to Tristan haunted her, the cold rejection that had shattered her heart. She feared reliving that pain, but she also knew she couldn’t let this moment slip away. She had to take the chance, no matter the risk.And so she gathered every ounce of courage and straightened herself. Isabel's gaze was stern yet filled with the affection she had always held for the man who had saved her years ago. Her royal demeanor returned, but the vulnerability in her eyes remained. "Marry me, Tristan. This is an order from your princess. As the victor of the Royal Entreaty, you are obliged to surrender yourself and wed the princess. Those are the rules."Tristan was stunned by her commanding words. He knew he
THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 106
Chapter 106: The Princess and the Knight"Remove your scarf," Isabel demanded with her voice steady but laced with a tension that reverberated through the room. The command was sharp and unexpected and it drew gasps from the gathered nobles and a flicker of surprise from Empress Ilyana herself.For a moment, Tristan remained motionless, his hesitation clear. He knew that once the scarf was gone, there would be no turning back. His heart pounded as Isabel, with a determined look in her icy blue eyes, began to move toward him.Ilyana who noticed the resolve in her daughter’s eyes, smiled softly and stepped aside, allowing Isabel to approach. The Empress had not expected this sudden turn, but she understood the importance of the moment. It was a rare chance for Isabel to take control of her fate, and she would not stand in her way.Tristan’s breath hitched as Isabel stopped just a few steps away from him. Her gaze was unwavering, her command absolute. With a deep breath, he reached up wi

Chapter 105: IdentityShe pointed it directly at Lucian, her hands steady despite the storm raging within her. The cold steel was a mere breath away from his throat, the threat clear and unmistakable.Lucian flinched as Isabel raised the sword, his eyes wide with fear. He had faced many battles, but none compared to this moment. Seeing the woman he loves holding a weapon against him, made his knees feel weak and his heart pound furiously in his chest. His eyes widened in shock and fear as he stared at the sword's tip, the reality of his situation crashing down on him. The mighty king, who once commanded armies and instilled fear in his enemies, now stood defenseless before the woman he had wronged so gravely. His arrogance was stripped away, leaving only the raw terror of a man facing his doom.Isabel’s chest heaved with the force of her anger, her grip on the sword tightening. Every ounce of pain, every drop of sorrow she had endured because of Lucian, now fueled her desire for venge
