The Saintess' Savage Puppet

The Saintess' Savage Puppet

“If loving you is the sin that turns the world against me, then I shall raze this world to the ground—until nothing remains to judge us.” For centuries, Killian has endured a suffocating eternity for a single purpose: to find the drifting soul of Lily, his lost beloved. He has watched her be born, grow, and perish in countless forms. Yet, in every life, their story ends in tragedy. A cruel cycle of fate keeps them apart, erasing her memories of the sacred vows they once shared. In this twentieth life, Lily is reborn as Elenor—a Saintess revered as a deity, yet treated as a mere tool by the brutal Holy Temple. To shatter the chains that torment her, the vampire is forced to become the ultimate enemy of mankind. Now, Killian stands at a fatal crossroads: sacrifice Elenor for the survival of his kin, or fight until his last drop of blood for one more night with the woman who cannot remember his love.

Chapter: Steal Me, Please
"Saintess, I have come to keep my promise. I am going to steal you away."Killian’s deep voice trembled amidst the crumbling ruins of the walls, cutting through the shrieks of the dying magical storm. In the midst of the chaos, his pair of crimson eyes locked onto Elenor's helpless, suspended figure.Seeing her broken body and torn dress, Killian’s memory was suddenly thrown far back—to the brief moments of fleeting, illusionary peace they had once shared in Solstheim.It was midnight, right when the full moon shone at its most beautiful over the sky of the isolated village. The two of them had bathed together in the river behind the mist of the Black Forest, letting the cold water wash away all their weariness.In the silence of the ni

Chapter: The Bloody Sacred Prison
Elenor hung suspended in the center of the deepest subterranean chamber beneath the Grand Temple. Both of her wrists were gripped by sacred metal shackles chained to the stone ceiling, forcing her arms to stretch straight upward until the tips of her toes barely brushed the floor.Every time she attempted to rest her body weight on her exhausted legs, the iron spikes in the wall groaned, pulling the chains higher and tearing at her shoulder joints."You have allowed yourself to be defiled, Saintess," a raspy voice echoed from the darkness of the corridor.The Pope stepped inside. His pristine white robes would soon be stained. Behind him, two high-ranking priests carried trays filled with ritual implements, which naturally included a new whip tipped with obsidian thorns."Were you happy out there?"Elenor did not answer. Her head hung limply in resignation, her usually beautiful brown hair now matted with sweat and dried blood."How many times did that demon touch you?" The Pope drew c

Chapter: Unholy
A gentle breeze blew, scattering the scent of wild blossoms growing along the cliffside. Those crimson eyes gazed deeply into Elenor’s.Both of their hearts raced, yet there was no anxiety to be found. Only a rare clarity, like the surface of a lake before a storm."Yes, Killian. For the first time, I know exactly what I want. I—"Elenor’s sentence was cut short. The tranquility shattered in an instant.The tolling of bells from the center of Solstheim village suddenly echoed, heavy and rhythmic, like the pounding heart of a giant screaming a warning of danger. The mist of the Black Forest, usually still, was violently parted by a blinding flash of silver light. Among the trees, the willow branches that had been lost in thought just moments ago now trem

Chapter: Reclaiming Love
Days in Solstheim passed both in a blur and at a crawl. That morning, Elenor woke without the familiar dread that usually heralded the start of her day. There was no tolling bell forcing her into purification rituals, nor the lingering echo of the Pope’s lashes in a cold, silent room.​Elenor made her way downstairs, finding Killian standing by the hearth, staring into the dancing flames. A strange sensation fluttered in her chest. Somewhere along the way, she had grown accustomed to seeking him out first—the very man she once cursed.​"You’re awake later than usual," Killian said, breaking the silence. He turned, his gaze warmer than the morning sun.​"I have no reason to wake any sooner," Elenor replied softly. She stepped closer, inhaling the steam from the warm soup on the table. "Did you prepare this?"​"I did. The villagers provided the vegetables. Perhaps they intend to bribe me so I won’t wreak havoc on their village. Not that I had any such intention."​"They seem terrified o

Chapter: Day Dream
​The carriage swayed gently, but Killian wouldn’t let Elenor sit across from him. He pulled her onto his lap, caging her in a tight embrace as if trying to merge their two bodies into one.​"You’re trembling," Killian whispered. His fingers, once cold, felt warmer now after consuming her holy blood. He tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear, revealing a neck that was smooth and unblemished once more.​"A little bit cold here," Elenor lied, leaning her forehead against his shoulder. "And maybe ... a little bit afraid."​"Afraid of me?"​Elenor lifted her gaze, meeting the crimson eyes glowing in the dim light. "Afraid that this is only a dream. Afraid that tomorrow I’ll wake up in that dungeon, waiting to be lashed until I pass out."​Killian’s gaze darkened. He hated hearing that fear. With a gentle motion, the black-haired man took Elenor’s hand. "As long as you are with me, not a single human will lay a finger on you. I will break the hands of anyone who tries."​"Killian

Chapter: Memories of Time
​The morning sun crept through the gaps in the curtains, gently stroking the Saintess’s skin. But the first thing she felt was a lingering chill against her back. Killian had remained at her side instead of vanishing with the dawn. He pressed a soft kiss to her lips before pulling her back into a tight embrace."You’re awake so early," he murmured, inhaling the scent of the woman beside him.​"I usually wake before the sun. But there are some times left before morning prayer."​"Then let’s continue what we started last night."​The vampire moved over her, pinning Elenor down before she was even fully conscious. He began to kiss her with a ravenous hunger. His fingers wandered beneath the thin silk of her nightgown without hesitation.​"Saintess? It's time to prepare," a nun’s voice called from the other side of the door. "The door is locked. We were worried something had happened to you."​"Cancel all of today’s activities," Elenor commanded. "I shall remain in my chambers in prayer

No Longer Your Puppet, Duke

No Longer Your Puppet, Duke

After ten years of living as a hollow puppet, Roselyn ends her misery by leaping to her death. But instead of the void, she wakes up in the past—right on the humiliating night she almost surrendered herself to her treacherous fiancé, Derrick. Refusing to play the victim twice, Roselyn strikes back. To escape her manipulative family, she gambles her fate on an unexpected offer from Derrick’s sworn enemy, Grand Duke Kaelus Valthorne. Known as the cold "Monster of the North," Kaelus hides a staggering truth: he has quietly rewound time countless times, bearing the agony of the world reset just to save Roselyn from her tragic end. In the frozen lands of Valthorne, Roselyn must sharpen her own thorns. Together with a man who holds the keys to her past, she will dismantle the traps laid for her—and force those who broke her to pay in blood.

Chapter: Two Masks Facing Away
His footsteps, usually firm and decisive, slowed. His shoulders relaxed, and his tone softened into a gentle warmth—as if belonging to an entirely different man.He walked over and knelt without hesitation on the cold wooden floor before Isabella’s chair. Cedric took both of his wife's hands—smooth yet distinctly cool to the touch—and wrapped his fingers tightly around hers."Sitting in the dark again," he chided softly, a hidden thread of concern lacing his words. "I have told the servants time and again that they must light the room's lamps before twilight falls.""I sent them out," Isabella replied with a faint smile. Her beautiful crimson eyes angled slightly past Cedric’s shoulder rather than looking directly into his face—a minute detail that never failed to send a sharp pan

Chapter: Orange Haze
The map of the Capital had already been refolded twice on the sturdy desk, but Cedric was still unsatisfied. A sharp furrow creased his brow as his fingers traced the territorial borderlines.He stared intently at the drawn layout of the barracks on the eastern side—a sector far too exposed, far too close to the outer gate's access point. The tip of his pen came to a halt on a single point, tapping against the thick parchment with a rigid, maddeningly repetitive rhythm.Behind him, candle shadows swayed rhythmically against the cold stone wall."Three hundred Silver Wolf Knights, Your Majesty," Molton reported. The old man stood with his back deeply hunched, a posture that had clung to him tighter with the passage of time. "They departed the Northern border early this morning. Meanwhile, the D'Arest family's contingent has taken the Southern route separately."Cedric tilted his head slightly. His pen halted completely, soaking a drop of ink that spread across the paper."Separately, i

Chapter: Silent, No More
Morning at the Northern border greeted them with a piercing cold breeze carrying thin flakes of snow. In the main courtyard of Castle Valthorne, a grand procession of knights and horse-drawn carriages stood ready in majestic formation.Kaelus stood beside the quicksilver-plated royal carriage, ensuring every detail of their security was flawless. The silver-haired man's hands were busy adjusting the clasp of the thick fur cloak wrapped around Roselyn's delicate neck."Don't let the cold wind seep into your dress, Rose," Kaelus whispered, gently caressing his wife's cheek."Kaelus, you've adjusted my cloak's clasp five times already," Roselyn chuckled softly, looking up into her husband's red eyes with deep warmth."I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable during the j

Chapter: Something New
The days at Castle Valthorne passed slowly beneath an endless blanket of snow. Time worked in its own quiet way to sweep the grief from the corners of the cold corridors.For Kaelus and Roselyn, accepting the loss and the bitterness of Cedric’s betrayal was not something that happened overnight. However, there was now a sense of resignation that no longer felt painful whenever their eyes met.On the other hand, Derrick D’Arest’s presence in the Northern fortress never truly thawed. The knights and servants of Valthorne could not easily erase the memory of how the Duke of the South had once carried Roselyn away.Suspicious glares and meals served without the slightest bit of warmth became Derrick’s daily routine. The man accepted it without complaint, considering it a small price to pay to red

Chapter: The Aroma of Chamomile from the Duchy
The silence of the private library in the castle's west wing felt far warmer than the corridor whipped by the snowy wind. Behind a cedar wood desk illuminated by the glow of candles, Roselyn sat gazing at the pages of a border territory map spread out before her. Yet, her focus frequently wavered.Her mind kept drifting back to the image of the empty bed and the suffocating pressure that had not fully evaporated from her chest.The sound of hushed footsteps broke the silence.Roselyn looked up and was slightly surprised to see Derrick walk in. The dark-haired man carried a small wooden tray bearing a porcelain cup that emitted a thin wispy vapor mixed with a sweet floral aroma unfamiliar to the North."Kaelus allowed me to walk freely through these halls," Derrick said, breaking the awkwardness as he stepped toward the desk. "And I took advantage of that freedom to cause a little chaos in your kitchen by making tea."Roselyn tilted her head slightly. "You ... brewed tea yourself?""D'

Chapter: A New Star
The piercing cold from the garden gradually faded as soon as Kaelus led Roselyn across the threshold of the castle’s main entrance.The family dining hall, usually quiet, was now illuminated by the warm glow of thick candles set into the stone walls. On the long, sturdy wooden table, several servants had served bowls of warm meat soup with gentle spice aromas, freshly baked wheat bread, and tender cuts of roast meat. There were no overpowering scents; everything was served specifically to whet Roselyn’s appetite, which had vanished earlier."Eat a little, Rose," Kaelus said as he pulled out a chair for his wife.Roselyn sat down slowly, keeping Kaelus's thick fur cloak draped around her shoulders. Although her throat still felt dry and painful from her tears in the garden, she forced herself to pick up a spoon. She knew that to avenge her child, her physical body could not break down."You should eat too, Kael.""Of course, Rose."Kaelus took a seat nearby. In quiet tranquility, the

Chapter: Suspicion Between Them
Michael remained silent, casting a glance at his wristwatch as a silent cue for Yohan to leave. Both men were unyielding, stubbornly refusing to give the other the satisfaction of hearing what they wanted."Get rid of your enemies before they ruin you." Yohan picked up his coat, which was neatly folded over the back of the chair. "Or I will be the one to get rid of that girl.""Have a safe trip, Father. Don't bother visiting me next time," Michael replied, standing up with a tight, hollow smile."You really are just like me," Yohan muttered under his breath before walking out.The room abruptly fell quiet, leaving behind an eerie, suffocating silence. Michael stared at Sapphire, who had just turned around after locking the door.

Chapter: The Old Lion
The clock struck five in the morning, and Luna finally surrendered to her sleepless eyes. For nearly an hour, she had done nothing but lie down and stare at the ceiling, listening to the fading patter of last night's rain.Restless, the woman in the cream-colored dress finally got out of bed. She stepped quietly out of her room and pushed open the door to Michael’s room, which turned out to be unlocked.Her lover was still sitting in the exact same chair. He hadn't even changed out of his suit jacket.The man did not look up when Luna walked in, nor did he offer the usual morning greeting he always gave her."You didn't sleep?" Michael asked as Luna rested her head against his knees."You never came, even though you sai

Just like his mother, little Michael despised thunderstorms.On nights like this, he would usually sneak into Liana’s room, tuck himself beneath her heavy blankets, and beg her to tell him nonsensical fairy tales until they both drifted off to sleep.The seven-year-old boy slid off his mattress.He caught a fleeting glimpse of his mother walking down the hall, but his voice was swallowed by the roaring rain. Michael trailed after her, quiet as a shadow, until he came to a halt at the top of the stairs."How could you..."The words echoed with terrifying clarity. He watched, unable to fully comprehend what was unfolding before his eyes.He saw his mother turn to run,

Twenty years earlier…The sweet scent of bluebells drifted through the air with every step Liana took. The beautiful woman smiled, reaching for Yohan’s hand. Carefully, she stepped onto the boat, lifting the hem of her gown."This lake is as beautiful as my wife," Yohan said. "You should surround yourself with beautiful things, so our baby turns out beautiful too.""What if it’s another boy?""Then Michael will have to study harder because he’ll have a rival.""Don't be like that. You’ve been too hard on him lately.""He needs to be strong so he can take my place running Blue Blood. But don't worry, Liana, I'll make sure our child grows up to be as t

Chapter: Another Crown
The iron steps were rusted, groaning underfoot with every descent. Michael went down first, his hand clamped tightly around his pistol, alert and ready despite having no clear idea of what was waiting for them below.Sapphire followed directly behind his heels. Efrosina brought up the rear, with a handful of operatives flanking her."Master, there might be a trap. Let me clear it first," Sapphire offered.Michael swept his tactical flashlight across every corner. Empty. Not a soul in sight.The basement was far larger than it appeared from above, choking with a damp, stifling humidity. The only contents were a few rusted metal shelves—most of them collapsed—and a solitary wooden desk in the far corner. Atop it sat a padlocked black iron box.

That night, a thin drizzle fell, washing over the asphalt of the deserted suburban streets. Michael stepped out of the black sedan, leaving the car door hanging open. Standing before him was an abandoned textile warehouse—the exact coordinates extracted from the maid the night before.The heir strode inside without a moment's hesitation. His leather shoes made a sharp, rhythmic clicking sound that echoed across the damp concrete floor. Behind him, Sapphire and Efrosina followed in absolute silence."Are you certain she gave you the correct location?" Michael asked Sapphire."Yes, Master. The woman bartered her life for her child’s safety. There is no reason for the information to be fabricated.""Search every square inch, then."
