Roselyn held her breath as it suddenly caught in her throat. Beside her, Kaelus’s fingers were already tightly gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist. Bloodshed inside the courtroom was only seconds away.

“Your Majesty, there is a commotion in the front corridor!” A doorkeeper reported in utter panic.

BAM!

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    Under the Shadow of a Bloody Crown

    “What absurd, foul creature of a word is that?!”Roselyn’s scream tore through the suffocating stillness of the room, sharp and jagged with unrestrained terror. Her entire body trembled violently, racked by a visceral blend of dread, white-hot fury, and pure denial. She refused to let those poisonous syllables sink into her reality—words that had just spilled so effortlessly from the lips of the King of Odiley.Her chest heaved with shallow, desperate breaths. Her pale, delicate hands clutched the heavy fabric of Kaelus’s coat so tightly her knuckles turned stark white. It was as if she believed that if she loosened her grip even by a fraction of an inch, the man she loved with her whole soul would instantly be swept away by the shadowy specter of death that Brenand had summoned into the room.“You are mocking us, are you not? Tell me you are joking, Your Majesty!” Roselyn cried out again, her dark eyes brimming with unshed tears as she locked her gaze onto the black-haired sovereig

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Black-Haired Guest

    The rhythmic pattern of the secret knock against the back door left a lingering vibration in the quiet confines of the room.Eden tilted his sword slightly, the edge catching the low flicker of candlefire. His stance was completely balanced, primed to strike down anyone stepping through the frame with ill intent. The heavy wooden door groaned softly as he drew it back, opening a narrow vertical gap into the cold night air.Two cloaked figures moved swiftly through the threshold, slipping past the barrier with quiet efficiency. The first was broad-shouldered and tall; the second, noticeably smaller and walking with silent grace.As the first visitor raised his hand and pushed back his dark hood, Roselyn’s breath caught in her throat.Before them stood a man of formidable stature. Dense, pitch-black hair framed a face marked by sharp lines and a high, solid jawline. Beneath his heavy brow, dark, piercing eyes scanned the room with unyielding composure. Though his features were unfamil

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    Dusk on Crown

    Isabella, whose frail body was visibly trembling within Roselyn’s grasp, was suddenly grabbed by imperial soldiers.“Unforehand her!” Roselyn snapped, her voice cutting through the noise as she tightened her grip on Isabella’s ice-cold forearm.“The Empress requires immediate medical attention due to her unstable condition!” the Commander of the Imperial Guard declared brusquely, bringing up his iron-clad arm to forcefully shove back the line of Northern escorts.Isabella could only look up at Roselyn through tears that overflowed her pale cheeks. Her bruised, bloodless lips moved soundlessly, framing a silent apology for a tragedy she could not prevent.“Show proper respect,” Cedric chided lightly, his voice dripping with false tenderness. “She is still your Empress.”“Fo-Forgive us, Your Imperial Majesty!”“It doesn't matter. Simply exercise great care when conveying her back to her chambers. In recent times, my lady has developed quite a habit of slipping away and wandering into pl

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Emperor’s Dice Roll

    The chilling, razor-thin smile lingering on Cedric’s lips vanished in a fraction of a heartbeat.In the span of a single breath, the sovereign mask of absolute authority dissolved, replaced by the countenance of a man utterly undone—broken, wronged, and deeply betrayed by the person he cherished most in the world.He clutched his chest, his knuckles turning stark white against the embroidered silk of his imperial tunic as his breathing grew ragged and shallow. His eyes, brimming with a grief so flawlessly rehearsed it bordered on divine artistry, swept across the gathered assembly. Before him, dozens of imperial ministers and high nobles began to exchange nervous, frantic whispers that rippled through the grand hall like dry leaves caught in a gale.“Say something, Your Imperial Majesty,” a middle-aged Viscount uttered, his voice laced with cautious hesitation. He took a measured half-step forward, his hands trembling within his velvet sleeves. Deep down, beneath his noble pride, he

    Roselyn held her breath as it suddenly caught in her throat. Beside her, Kaelus’s fingers were already tightly gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist. Bloodshed inside the courtroom was only seconds away.“Your Majesty, there is a commotion in the front corridor!” A doorkeeper reported in utter panic.BAM!Before another word could leave Cedric’s mouth, the towering double doors of the audience chamber were slammed open with immense force, crashing against the stone walls.The thunderous impact echoed through the hall, instantly silencing every venomous insult and debate.A female figure stepped inside. Her movements were slow, yet they radiated an aura of gripping dignity.

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Slammed Doors

    The silence enshrouding Hera Palace at dawn was not peace; it was merely a brief respite before the impending storm swept everything away.Inside the empire's main audience chamber, the aura of anger hung so thick that the air felt almost impossible to breathe. Dozens of high-ranking officials, ministers, and nobles of the imperial faction had already gathered.“What do you think?” a nobleman asked his companion.“I bet Valthorne will be wiped out.”“No, I’m betting that cunning Grand Duke will find a way to wriggle out of it,” another chimed in.“Ho… let us just sit back and enjoy the show.”Meanwhile, deep in a secluded corner of the empress’s residence, Isabella was locked away tight. The iron-reinforced wooden door was locked from the outside. Six of Cedric’s personal bodyguards stood full watch along the corridor.For three full days, Isabella had been completely isolated from the outside world. Only a single servant was permitted entry to bring her a food tray that went virtuall

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Bruises of Betrayal

    Roselyn ran out without looking back. The night chill pierced her skin, shielded only by a thin gown, but it was nothing compared to the frantic hammering of her heart. It throbbed between anxiety and a strange sense of satisfaction for having just trampled on the Duke’s ego.The four-hour journey

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Forsaken Sanctity

    "Prove your love, Lady. Try serving me tonight."The voice was soft, yet it carried no melody—only the toll of a death knell.Roselyn remained motionless on the cold marble, letting her knees go numb. Her dignity as the sole daughter of Count Sirius had long been cast aside. All that remained was a

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    Warm Snow

    A stifling silence enveloped the balcony, broken only by the sound of Roselyn’s ragged, fractured breaths. Before her, Kaelus stood motionless, like an ice sculpture untouched by time.Roselyn lowered her head, trying to steady her racing heart. "Forgive me for forcing you to witness such a shamefu

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    Just For A Moment

    Three days of confinement were enough for the bruises on Roselyn’s body to fade from a deep purple to a dull yellow. Thanks to the Elysium from her uncle, the wound on her forehead had dwindled to a thin red line.Vogard personally ensured that the mark was buried under layers of powder before drag
