The King's Rejected Lady Prince Cory's Story II
Victoria kept tracing her fingers to the contours of his chest. His ragged breathing betrayed his emotions; Cory wanted to give in. But it took one glance for Corean at Tessa's location to snap himself. "I am an obsessed person. If you want to be my queen then you need to surrender your heart to me." Corean uttered those words knowing that Tessa was listening to him. The latter would report this to his brother, Cory was sure of that. Laughing from his declaration, Victoria took a step away from him. Cory immediately longed for her touch. At a good distance, Cory saw Victoria's toothy grin turned into a venomous one. He missed that look of hers. "Never forget, Prince Corean Shuia Eckrett. My hands are your saving grace. Though I think I need to educate you again so I will show you how it feels if I choose to abandon you."Taking a step towards him, Victoria grasped his neck as she whispered her words a good millimeter from his lips. Cory could smell her cheery scented breath that he w

THE INDIFFERENT look of Crown Prince Yei Lin was the first thing that Cory recognized as he entered the small abandoned house located quite far from the capital. His knights and the Ming Country's prince's knights secured the area outside as the two of them would talk inside their rendezvous point."You dare to meet me even after what you did to Tori," said Prince Yei Lin who was standing near the broken window in front of him. The way he nonchalantly crossed his arms in front of the empire's star showed that he did not respect him. If it was another situation, Cory could demand an impertinent prince in front of him to bend the knee since there was still a huge difference in their status. But Cory did not meet him for that. "I do not have the luxury of time to please you. Listen well, Prince Yei Lin. Victoria is in grave danger than she realized. As we speak, my brother plots to eliminate her by using me. Though my actions remained questionable for the past months, I came here with o

Merilla's attempt to ask again was interrupted when the door suddenly burst open. Cory was relieved to dodge another trapping question from Merilla, who was clearly not happy with the interruption of a royal knight serving under him. The knight had frantic eyes and a heaving chest. He was the one Cory assigned to watch Duke Luwen Rozenreff's movement."How dare you interrupt the meeting?" Lord Wolfgang exclaimed, clearly shocked by the sudden intrusion.The poor knight finally remembered that he was surrounded by lords and ladies from different powerful houses. Bowing nervously, his knight asked for forgiveness before shifting his attention to him, who was looking worried, an expression befitting for someone who had a lover being taken from him. In his peripheral vision, he saw how Victoria raised her brows from his reaction."Duke Luwen and Marquess Zoliel arrested Miss Tessa under the orders of King Elphaim!"Cory wondered under whose whispers his father listened. Was it his mother

The newly crowned prince of the Monakre Kingdom spat, "Why him? We can ask Duke Castaña instead! Anyone but him who betrayed Tori's expectations above all else." Venom oozed upon his words, but Cory refrained from replying to the feral prince who was beyond reason and who did not know the reasons behind Cory's actions. "Duke Castaña must not know about the young lord of House Larat playing mind games with Tori. He will immediately take action and it will draw the attention of the King. Tori worked hard for this just to be destroyed by the king's obvious favor to his firstborn. No offense, Prince Corean."Cory shrugged. It was a piece of common knowledge that his father favored the first prince as he was the only remnant of his beloved first queen. Corean never bothered with such trivial details. He was contented to keep his mother safe. But a cherry-eyed woman flipped his axis.The cerulean-eyed prince gritted his teeth. "Are you saying that the traitor from House Larat is with Tori,

CORY'S BODY went rigid after receiving Prince Yei Lin's reports. Merilla was on the move since King Elphaim sent a summons to the aristocratic faction and noble faction that he would invite the candidates to his castle. "Everything is in motion," said Cory while looking outside the windows of Monakre's pavilion."And so are the enemies. Lady Sabina Rozenreff was last seen in the Back Alley together with Lady Merill Larat," said Prince Yei Lin, who was standing behind Corean. "Are you absolutely sure about this, Prince Corean? Tori did her best to support you."Cory glanced at the crown prince. Instead of answering his question, he shrugged. "I want to see her. I can do that, right? I can be selfish just for one night, right?"Prince Yei Lin understood him. Victoria would hate him more once King Elphaim would summon them. He wanted to hold on as much as he could. "One night? I know how you always sneak into her room and watch her sleep until dawn breaks. The correct term will be your l

At the stroke of midnight, no power plays and schemes in between them. Just two people stripped with masks and cautions. Corean did not want to stop and if this continued, he knew that this would not end with a deep kiss but much more. If he listened to his heart, he would have to risk her all over again. No, he could not let it happen. Not when everything was set into motion.Every nerve of his body protested as he distanced away from Victoria. He knew that he must not cause a backlash to his plan with Prince Yei Lin. I'm sorry, Victoria. Corean thought before he gave her a mocking smile that would seal their distance forever. "In the end, you are only a woman playing politics." "Is that so? Then why are you acting like a virgin noble lady? I should be the one doing that. Besides, you are my fiancé. You own my body, your highness."Cory kneeled on the bed and grabbed her shoulders with an insulting smile. His face was a few inches above her so Victoria had to tilt her head to mee

Victoria did not see him behind her as he approached them since she was busy being curious about who was resting on his bed. Victoria walked towards the bed but was stopped midway when he spoke. "What are you doing here, Lady Victoria?"She spun in his direction. Victoria offered her sugary smile to him and his brother, and she showed the tray she was holding. "Breakfast in bed for my beloved fiancé.""How sweet of you, Lady Victoria. It makes me jealous, brother." Prince Lauren playfully nudged him which irritated him to no end. The meaning behind his words created a primal need to stake his claim to Victoria. But all he could do was scoff before walking towards his bed to pull the drapes together. "You can have her then, brother." In your dreams, Corean continued in his mind.Victoria walked to the study table to place the tray down."Too bad, Prince Corean. I have my eyes set only on you," teased Tori while smiling sweetly. He recognized her smile as a sad reaction since she was cl

Pulling his hood, Cory went out of the carriage and he crumpled the message. "Give me a horse, now!"The knight rushed away, leaving Cory and the wondering coachman. But Cory knew that it would still take to get a horse. His train of thought was interrupted by the loud clacking noise of the horse's horseshoe."Hey, give me that horse."The widening eyes of the old coachman were the last thing that he did before Cory dropped a pouch of gold coins in front of him.CORY SAW it all. How Victoria bid her farewell to her vassals and how she walked with conviction into the merchant ship. All those times, his golden eyes followed her as he stood at the darkest part of the ship's deck. He discreetly followed as a guide walked with her to her cabin. Cory stayed outside her cabin, his back on her door with his sword on display. He needed to be alert, Merillia might send an assassin for Victoria. But the chances were slim since she would use this chance to corner her into a crime Victoria never

The King's Rejected Lady Epilogue
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
The King's Rejected Lady Of Freedom & Desire
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
The King's Rejected Lady Prelude Of The Rebellion
DUKE ROWAN Cristof Castaña spent his entire day just to complete the mission that Tori gave him. The hue of crimson red and purple splashed at the sky as if warning him of the impending battle this day. The young duke knew how Tori prepared for this day. He saw how she neglected her sleep to oversee every detail of her plan. Rowan knew how Tori anticipated every move from the enemies, which strengthened his resolve.This empire needs someone like Tori.For Rowan who came from the slums before he sat on his seat as the Duke of Castaña, he saw firsthand how Tori viewed the empire. In fact, she was seeing things as if she knew how the future would turn out. This made him respect her even more. She was not like the other members of the nobility—she was fair. After all, she took someone like him to the slums.The young duke strode inside the Castaña Duchy. The butler welcomed his return. "Blessings to the Empire's spear and shield, Duke Rowan Castaña.""Prepare me my bath; I have a noble t
The King's Rejected Lady Lilian's Resolve
"Then how can we counter this one?" The prideful duke lowered his pride; he refused to let another daughter of his suffering from the aristocratic faction.Headmaster Eyzana breathed a sigh of relief when the duke snapped from his rampage. "No need. Collect your cool, Duke Luwen. I have already sent my men to check the food that allegedly poisons the common folks. Let us wait for him then.""That is good. My men conducted an investigation but they are yet to give me a favorable result."It is understandable. If that person is the one under this scheme then it is likely that we will find nothing.Though the two influential men did not need to wait any longer when three successive knocks interrupted them. Duke Luwen straightened up before answering, "Come in."A young nobleman with the emblem of the Trifecta Academy came in with papers in his right arm. He bowed to the Duke and then to the Headmaster before speaking. "I have found what caused this illness." His wary voice and fearing ey
The King's Rejected Lady True Love's Curse
"How dare you accuse my event of food poisoning? This is a sponsored event of my beloved Prince Lauren!" The weight of her words as she proudly declared the first prince's connection to this alleged poisoning was later on realized when Sabina saw the ghost of a smile on Lord Zeno's face as if he was waiting for those words all along.I have been tricked! But her words could not be retracted anymore. Her palms were drenched with sweat as she clenched them. Biting the inside of her cheeks, Sabina looked frantic much to the young lord's interest.The whispers and the distrusting looks from the masses whipped around Sabina as she struggled to maintain her composure. Shena looked worried but could not butt in due to her status.Opening her mouth to say something, the shrilled voice of the commoners buried her voice. Startled and infuriated, Sabina looked behind her only to stagger backward as she saw one by one the commoners started to lose consciousness. "Marchioness Susana!" Looking at
The King's Rejected Lady Sabina The Saintess
Clad in a simple gray-colored indoor dress, Tori guided her newly arrived guests to her chamber's receiving area. Sitting at the head chair at the center, the two followed suit by sitting at both of her sides. Crossing her legs, Tori asked the regal-looking Marchioness. "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
