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

Chapter 95: The Royal EntreatyThe day of the Royal Entreaty had finally arrived, a day that held the hopes and ambitions of men from every corner of the kingdom. From noble lords to esteemed knights, wealthy merchants, and even commoners of exceptional merit, they all gathered at the southern grounds of the imperial palace, a vast and majestic space where the kingdom’s finest had once trained and competed. 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. It was a setting worthy of the historic event that was about to unfold.If Isabel had been breathtaking on the night of the solstice, today she was nothing short of divine. Dressed in an extravagant gown that shimmered with intricate embroidery and delicate jewels, she was the embodiment of regal elegance. The deep hues of her dress complemented her fair complexion, while the elaborate patterns woven into the fabric s
THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 96
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. Yet beneath her regal exterior, a storm of emotions brewed. Dressed in a gown of flowing white silk contrasted beautifully with intricate gold embroidery, she looked every inch the princess—dignified, radiant, and untouchable. Her light golden hair, styled in intricate braids that cascaded down her back, and her icy

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

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

THE KING'S POSSESSION Chapter 100
Chapter 100: Assassinate the King*A Few Weeks Ago*After fulfilling Leticia's demand to be returned to the kingdom, Tristan knew there was one place he needed to go—somewhere far from the prying eyes of the palace.He rode swiftly through the forest with his heart racing as the dense trees blurred past him. The path was narrow, winding deeper into the wilderness where few dared to venture. The sound of a distant waterfall grew louder, and soon, he arrived at a secluded clearing. Nestled within the lush greenery was a small, humble cottage, where the melody of birdsong filled the air. This was a place of refuge, a haven hidden from the world—a place where Liam and his grandmother, Teressa, had been living peacefully since the day Lucian's search for the boy began. The small cottage had been their home since the danger in the kingdom escalated. Lucian's relentless search for Liam had driven them into hiding, and Tristan had spared no effort in ensuring their safety. As the horse came

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

(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

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
