Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin A Careless Slip Becomes A Clue
I slip the note into the folds of my gown and retreat to my chamber as though nothing is amiss. Once inside, I lock the door and bring it out again, laying it flat on my table. The handwriting stares back at me, dark, angry strokes pressed too hard into the paper. Whoever wrote this did not wish the queen well, that much is clear. To call her throne “gilded,” to speak with such venom… it reeks of envy. Or worse, resentment that had festered long enough to turn deadly.I decide not to show this note to anyone. Not Lina, not even the king. And certainly not Gregory. Once, I would have run to him with it, shared my suspicions, asked for his thoughts. But things are different now. Since that night of my shameful breakdown, the raw promise I made before the king, I’ve kept my word. I have not spoken to Gregory, not picked his calls, not answered his texts.But I’ve seen the way it eats at him. The hollowness in his eyes during dinner, the way his gaze lingers on me, begging for a glance I
Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin A Daughter's Last Duty
The investigation about the queen’s death is yielding nothing. Days pass, yet nothing useful comes out of it. The panel keeps questioning the palace staff again and again, especially those who served closest to her. They search their quarters, their trunks, even the kitchens. Still, nothing. Not a vial, not a strange herb, not even a trace of anything that could explain how she was poisoned.I watch them all, trying to read faces, trying to see guilt in someone’s eyes, but every time they leave the hall, I am left with the same emptiness.The king grows weary. I can see it in the way his shoulders sag when he walks into the council chamber, the way he rubs his forehead when reports are given. His patience is running thin. His grief weighs heavier by the day.This morning, he announces that he is almost ready to give up. “We cannot drag this longer,” he says in a voice both tired and firm. “We will go ahead and fix a date for the burial.”My chest tightens at his words. To him, it may
Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin Repentance Means Ruthless
walk back to my chamber slowly, the echo of my footsteps chasing me down the empty corridor. My cheeks are still damp, but I don’t bother wiping them. Let them see me as the grieving daughter, the broken sister. That image will serve me well.When the heavy door closes behind me, I finally exhale. My shoulders sag, not from sorrow but from the weight of the performance. I press a hand to my chest, half trembling, half laughing under my breath. I did it.Father bought every word. Gregory… his face was priceless. Shock frozen into silence. That silence will keep him loyal, at least for now. He’ll guard me, not question me.I slip out of my gown and sit on the edge of my bed, staring at the fire. A true Halrion princess — that’s what I promised. Father thinks it means remorse. He thinks it means I will be his dutiful daughter. But I know better.It means strength. Ruthlessness and victory.And tonight, I proved I can weep like the guilty… while plotting like the innocent never could.As
Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin A Revenge Plan
The shrill buzz of my phone startles me out of my restless pacing. My heart leaps and I don’t even check the screen before answering. “Lina?” My voice comes out tight, desperate.“Yes, my princess. It’s me.” Her tone is calm, almost too calm.I grip the phone tighter. “Tell me, did you see him? Did you find out anything?”“I did,” she says quickly. “I spoke with his personal guard. He assured me the crown prince is safe, that he retired to his chamber for the night.”Relief floods me but only for a heartbeat. Because if Gregory is safe in his chambers, then why… why hasn’t he picked up my calls? My chest tightens. “Then why isn’t he answering me? Even if he were asleep, Gregory always answers my calls. Always. Are you sure he’s alive in there?”“My princess,” Lina soothes, her voice soft as silk. “He is safe. Perhaps he’s just… busy.”I freeze. That single word echoes in my mind like a crack of thunder. Busy. At this hour? My grip on the phone trembles. “Busy? What do you mean by busy
Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin Investigations And Fears
It felt strange walking into the palace kitchen again. I hadn’t been here since I was a child trailing after my mother, when the cooks would sneak me sweet pastries and dried fruits. Now, everything looked smaller, quieter, stripped of the warmth I remembered.The servants stiffened when I entered, some bowing, some pretending to be too busy to notice me. I could almost hear their unspoken question—why is the princess here? I ignored it and let my eyes sweep across the rows of shelves, jars, and sacks stacked neatly in order.I remembered my mother’s words: Never drink tea that hasn’t come from your own pot. She had trusted only one maid to brew hers. Yet, the leaves, the herbs… they all came from here.My hand brushed a row of containers. Most were familiar, the same blends I had known since childhood, but a few bore markings I didn’t recognize—freshly delivered, perhaps. I bent closer, studying the labels, tracing the ink as though they might whisper their secrets.Something in me t
Forbidden To Love: A Royal Sin Snakes In The Palace
I can’t sleep tonight. My mind keeps going back to that strange note that slipped from my robe as I left the court hall.Who put it there? Was it one of the councilmen? Or someone from outside the court? Did they mean it as a warning or was it pity?I toss and turn, the questions chasing me like shadows. Finally, I sit up, pull the note from my bedside table, and stare at the handwriting. The letters look sharp but deliberate, like someone wanted to hide their true self but still be heard.I whisper to myself, “Who are you? And why me?”No answers come. Just the silence of my room pressing in on me. With a tired sigh, I fold the note again, set it down, and lie back in bed. Sleep doesn’t come easy.By morning, Lina arrives with my breakfast, her warm smile trying to cut through the heaviness in the air. I can’t hold it in any longer.“Lina,” I say softly, “someone slipped me a note yesterday. It fell from my robe when I left the court hall.”She narrows her eyes. “A note? What did it
