THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 92
Chapter 92: As sweet as VengeanceLucian stood rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on Isabel with an intensity that he scarcely noticed himself. His mind raced with a whirlwind of thoughts, all centered around the woman who had once been his entire world. The Isabel he loved, the Isabel who had fallen from the cliff that night, the Isabel he believed lost forever—was now standing before him, transformed and more distant than he could have ever imagined.She was different now. The timid girl who once hesitated to even show herself to him in public was gone. In her place stood a regal princess, commanding the attention of every man in the room, her poise and grace elevating her above them all. It was a stark contrast to the Isabel he had known, and the realization hit him with a force that left him breathless.He watched as she gracefully navigated the throng of admirers, her laughter ringing out like a melody, her smile lighting up the faces of the princes and noblemen vying for her att

Chapter 93: Longing of a KingIsabel turned her back on Lucian after delivering her scathing remarks, intending to leave him to his thoughts. But just as she took a step away, she heard him call her name, his voice softer than she had ever heard it before. "Isabel... Forgive me... I know I have made a grave mistake... I am sorry for everything I have done to you," Lucian’s words were barely more than a whisper, meant only for her ears. The unexpected apology brought her to a halt. She slowly turned back to face him but with an expression of both of mockery and indifference. "Whatever do you mean? What things have you done to me? We never met before." Her voice was smooth, with a touch of cruelty as she smirked and turned away again, leaving Lucian standing there, stunned.Never… met before? Lucian’s mind reeled as he watched Isabel walk away, the weight of her words sinking in. He couldn’t fathom why she would deny their past. Was she pretending? Was this some new game she was playi
THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 94
Chapter 94Lucian held Isabel close, his arms wrapped around her as if he could never let her go again. The warmth of her body against his, the familiar scent of her skin—it all felt like a dream he never wanted to wake from. His lips brushed against her shoulder, and for a moment, he allowed himself to believe that this closeness could erase the years of distance and pain between them.But just as he lost himself in the feel of her, Isabel’s voice cut through the haze like a cold blade. “How could you lay your hands on me?” Her words were sharp, laced with a bitterness that sent a jolt of reality crashing down on him. Lucian stiffened, surprised by the sudden shift in her tone. He had expected resistance, perhaps even anger, but the quiet accusation in her voice was something he wasn’t prepared for. His grip on her loosened slightly, but he didn’t let her go. Instead, he pressed his forehead to the back of her head, his breath warm against her neck as he whispered, “Isabel… I’m sorr

The grounds were meticulously prepared for the occasion, banners bearing the royal crest fluttered in the breeze, and the marble pavilions gleamed in the morning sun.

Chapter 96: The Gauntlet of ValorAs the resounding cheers echoed across the southern grounds of the imperial palace, the suitors began to take their places, each man steeling himself for the trials that lay ahead. The training grounds, typically reserved for the empire’s finest warriors, had been transformed into a grand arena, befitting the gravity of the Royal Entreaty. Towering banners bearing the imperial crest fluttered in the breeze, and the polished marble stands gleamed in the morning light. The sheer scale of the event was a testament to its importance.Princess Isabella, standing beside her mother on the dais, watched the scene unfold with a composed expression.

Chapter 97: The Trial of AllegianceThe Royal Entreaty had dwindled down to fifty suitors after three days of intense trials. They rested in their tent that night, preparing for the next challenge. The remaining men were weary, their bodies bruised and battered, but their spirits remained unbroken—at least for now.As the suitors discussed their strategies and speculated on what lay ahead, a humble servant entered the tent, carrying a tray of drinks. His attire was simple, and his demeanor unassuming. He moved quietly, offering refreshments with a respectful bow. The suitors barely noticed him, too engrossed in their own thoughts.Cedric who was hidden beneath the guise of a lowly server, moved silently among the men, pouring drinks with the precision and deference expected of his supposed station. His sharp eyes missed nothing, watching the suitors with the practiced gaze of one accustomed to court intrigue.“Gentlemen,” Cedric began in a low, conspiratorial tone as he set down a tra
THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 98
Chapter 98: Masks OffThe dawn’s early light filtered through the grand hall, giving a soft glow upon the marble floors as the remaining fifty suitors assembled. They had been summoned to an audience with the Empress, but this time there were no grand announcements or formal attire—only the command to present themselves as they were. Each man knelt, his head bowed in deference to the imperial family, while anticipation and apprehension warred in their hearts. Unbeknownst to them, the fourth trial had already taken place the night before.The hall was silent, save for the faint rustle of fabric as the men shifted uncomfortably. Unlike the previous trials, there was no immediate address from Empress Ilyana or the herald. Instead, a different voice broke the silence—a voice both commanding and delicate. Princess Isabella stepped forward as her icy blue eyes scanned the kneeling men before her. She stood almost a meter away from them with her presence both regal and daunting.Beside her s

Chapter 99: The Mad Princess*Flashback*“Your Highness!” Tristan greeted, bending his knee and bowing his head as Leticia finally stepped out of the mansion where she had been imprisoned for what felt like an eternity. His heart pounded in his chest with both relief and dread surging through him. He had risked everything for her, the princess he had sworn to protect with his life. But as his gaze lifted to meet hers, the sight before him sent a shockwave through his system.The Leticia he had once known was barely recognizable. Her once flawless face was now marred by scars, deep and jagged, cutting across her features like cruel reminders of the torment she had endured. But it wasn’t the physical damage that struck Tristan the hardest—it was the vacant, almost lifeless look in her eyes. The warmth, the kindness she had once shown him, was gone, replaced by something cold, something frightening.Leticia’s eyes narrowed as she looked down at the knight who had risked so much to free h
