The King's Rejected Lady Funeral To Attend
Tori was raging inside. She wanted to lash out, but couldn't. To win this, she must be smarter than Prince Cory. She needed to steel herself like how he steeled himself during those times when everyone hated him."No. Duke Castaña made it in time. Tori, what do you want now?"What do I want? After what you told me, I also asked that myself. I buried myself in the misbelieved that no one will be able to protect me. But a strange prince proved me wrong. He defied my fate and took it as his own. So what do I want? "I want to continue his plan. I will usurp the throne.""King Elphaim was the benefactor of the tribes that tried to conquer the Arin Tribe. With his obvious favor to Prince Lauren, we must expect an unfavorable judgment even if we present Tessa as a witness."Prince Yei Lin sat in front of her so she served him tea. "So the trial will just be a farce.""Indeed. Prince Lauren will expect that we brought the influence of the Monakre Kingdom to prepare for the noble trial. But, w

The outdoor dress that Queen Aurina specially prepared an outdoor dress that Tori was wearing with the notorious black veil that covered her face for everyone to see."You looked hot. Hot in a way that the Sun God would like to fry." Sarcasm laced Crown Prince Allistair's voice as he watched her being adorned by her handmaidens.Duke Rowan Castaña entered her room after three knocks with Crown Prince Yei Lin in tow. The former brought an elongated box with him which earned the interest of everyone aside from the occupied handmaidens. The young duke went straight to Tori who was standing and surrounded by her handmaidens. "My ladies, will you excuse us for a minute?"As soon as the handmaidens left, the young duke opened the rectangular case. The two princes expected a sword but were left astounded when

PRINCE YEI LIN took his father to his chamber in the pavilion. Lily rushed to prepare her veil. After all, it was time to attend a funeral. Tori who was calmly sipping her tea as she waited for Lily got interrupted by Duke Rowan. "You did great as always, Lady Tori.""Have a seat, Duke Rowan. And yes, the alternative result is not an option for me if I want to win this game that Cory started."The young Duke of Castaña smiled bitterly as he saw the tender way his mistress uttered the second prince's name. "Do you want to visit him?"He saw how Tori visibly went rigid before smiling sadly at him. He could see the changes in her after the second prince sacrificed his everything just to save her, something that the young duke could not do unless he would resort to committing treason. "How can I visit him when I can't free him yet?" Tears flowed from her eyes. She was showing such vulnerability to him. "If I see him suffering, I think I will go crazy. I don't know how to act in front of

THE SAD GOODBYE snapped Tori that to release Cory from those wretched shackles, she must destroy the enemy's root and stem. Walking away from his prison cell was one of the hardest things that Tori did. Steeling herself as she stepped away from him, Tori glanced at Duke Rowan Castaña. "Did you dispose of the bodies?""Disposed and replaced, Lady Tori. I planted my men as the second prince's new guards.""Good." I need to stall Lauren and Merilla's attention from Cory. Tori continued with her line of questions. "How is the Vervain's antidote going?"The young Duke opened the carriage's door for her. Even though he had become the Duke, the highest position along with the Rozenreff Duchy next to the royals, he never forgot to show his respect and loyalty to the first person who trusted him. Deep down, Duke Rowan Castaña knew that he would gladly lay down his life in order to protect Victoria Rozenreff. After all, his life was hers the moment he had performed the knight's oath with all

TORI WALKED away from Duke Luwen Rozenreff without the pent-up disappointment that she used to harbor whenever she spoke to him. As she spoke to Cory, Tori knew that her father was walking a path that he chose. She could even empathize with him since she knew firsthand that Sabina was not the person she portrayed in front of their father. Walking away from them meant that finally drawn the line between friends and foes.As she stepped outside the buzzing cathedral, every eye was on her but it immediately shifted when a looming figure stood before her. Smiling gently, she greeted him with a curtsy for everyone to witness. "Blessings to the Empire's northern lord, Chief Keiran Arin."Collective gasps followed by buzzing whispers resounded around them as Tori and her companions with the newly arrived ragged-looking Chieftain Kieran stood at the middle of the higher echelon's gossip circle."Lady Victoria, Prince Yei Lin, and Duke Castaña." The young Chieftain of the North greeted them wi

"How is life as the House Zoliel's head?""You know I can't be truly calmed unless the investigation stops, Lady Victoria." The wariness in her voice reflected on her face as she fidgeted with her handkerchief.Lily together with the other two handmaidens came trotting in with the teas in their hands. As the three served them, Tori replied to the Marchioness. "I understand your concern, Marchioness. That is why you are here, right? To foresee everything until the end." Yes, after all, you killed your husband for the fear of being imprisoned or kicked out from a life of luxury. "So, how is the preparation on your end? I received the reports from Prince Yei Lin's side.""I gathered as many witnesses as I can. The food

A YEAR passed by since the coup d'etat happened that sparked the rebellion against King Elphaim and Prince Lauren. But as Grand Duke Rowan Cristof Castaña stared at the sleeping Lilian on his bed, he could not believe what transpired within a year after that fateful day. Rowan stepped out from the bed, careful not to disturb his wife. But no matter how stealthy he thought he was, she woke up. “So early? Where are you going, husband?”He leaned to kiss her forehead before he answered her. “Go back to sleep, wife. I will be late this evening. I have to attend the imperial faction meeting.”“That reminds me, I have to go to the palace to meet Her Majesty,” mumbled Lilian whose eyes sparkled like the stars in a clear night sky upon mentioning the queen. Sometimes Rowan pondered who his wife loved more, him or the queen?Not wanting to depress himself so early in the morning of spring, Rowan decided to leave his wife who was now dozing off.Right after the death of King Elphaim and Prince
The King's Rejected Lady Wicked Reign
PRINCE LAUREN walked with gritted teeth. His jaws clenched as he analyzed the chain of events that led him to his current situation. Why? Everything is going as plan! Until that wench got her head chopped off."Will we die here?""I don't want to die.""Hush, the imperial family might hear you."The whispers among the nobles fueled the first prince's temper. I am the future king yet some entitled boy is wearing the centuries-old crown right now. The passageway they were using was an ancient knowledge passed down only to the members of the royal family. This passage was hidden just behind the royal family's audience room for safety purposes such as today. The pathway was cramped surrounded by stone walls. Torches lit their way, guiding them through the darkness. With five royal knights at most, Prince Lauren knew that they were in a perilous situation.He glanced at the calm former duke of Rozenreff Duchy. The latter was holding Lady Sabina tightly and close to him.Seconds turned to

Prince Corean stared at his father who was grinning from ear to ear. He watched the person he once respected surrender to greed. His gaze shifted to his mother who remained clueless and was now surrounded by her attendants as the latter fainted from stress. Cory clenched his fists from worrying his frail mother but it needed to be done. His gaze then settled on his elder brother. The long enmity between them would not be settled. The second prince knew that he needed to end this now, for his mother and Victoria.Lady Merilla smirked. She signaled the royal knights on stand-by. "What are you waiting for? Arrest him!" Her emerald-colored eyes glinted with every step the royal knights took.Tori stared at the grinning king, and then at Lady Merilla, who was standing a meter away from her at the podium. The noble faction cheered for the royal knights. It's time. Tori turned to the traitor. "Who says you already won?" Tori offered her sweetest smile to Lady Merilla, who replied with a mo
The King's Rejected Lady The Bloody Trial
The traitor triumphantly grinned as she saw the reactions within the courtroom. Just like her plan, the tides of favor were on her side. Lady Merilla continued after silencing the courtroom with a raise of her hand. "The internal conflict within the northern region and the unification of the north is the step which aims to usurp the throne. Letters between the three chieftains of the tribes in the north sent letters to the capital months before the said war, it was for their benefactor. Here are the letters with the duchess's name on them as she plotted everything.""All along, I thought it was the duchess so I sent the gathered shreds of evidence to the first prince whom I never thought would help me, a lady from the opposing faction. But Prince Lauren helped me reach my concerns to the king and an arrest was immediately issued to capture the duchess. With the help of Duke Rowan Castaña, the duchess was proven to be framed by the real culprit. Who would have thought that the person I
The King's Rejected Lady A Trap!
IT WAS customary for the royal knights to escort the accused, but Tori defied the rules. The royal knights under the banner of the first prince blocked their way out of the prison when she escorted the second prince herself with the Ming Country's knights. Tori stepped forward, her body shielding the nonchalant second prince. "Move," said Tori in a chilling tone. She saw how the royal knights barricaded before her faltered."We are here under the command of the emperor to escort his son to the courthouse." The leader of the royal knights blatantly lied which earned him a cold dead stare from Tori.Liar. You were taken by the first prince to kill the second prince on the way to the courthouse. If Prince Lauren made such drastic action, then he must be feeling anxious in this noble trial. "Oh, you are from the emperor's royal knights? Such a shame to miss them from our collection, right Prince Yei Lin?"The royal knights wondered what she was talking about. The countless eyeballs that
