No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Bound by Love
Even though Cedric had transformed into a cruel, deceitful ruler who lied to Isabella’s face every morning, the love deep within her chest had never truly died. It had merely evolved.That love had now transformed into a desperate, dangerous resolve to save Cedric’s life—regardless of the fact that he had crushed her heart into dust.When night fell and the palace grew deathly silent, Cedric fell into a deep, heavy sleep beside her. Listening to his steady, rhythmic breathing, Isabella slowly pulled back the silk covers.She rose without making a single sound. Her whisper-light footsteps carried her quietly across the thick carpet toward a small mahogany vanity situated in the dimly lit corner of the spacious room.With trembling hands, she lit a

"Her Majesty fell unconscious! The physicians are rushing to her chambers now!"Without paying the slightest heed to the astonished, murmuring nobles, Cedric abruptly stood up, knocking his chair back slightly. He abandoned the treaty, turned his back on his ministers, and strode out of the hall with long, hurried strides.Inside the quiet, heavily scented chambers of the empress, the elderly royal physician withdrew his hand from Isabella’s pulse point. He turned to face the Emperor, bowing low, his hands visibly shaking.Cedric stood near the foot of the bed, his dark cape draped heavily over his broad shoulders. "Her majesty’s body is weak," the physician said in a trembling voice."Tell me what happened to her," Cedric commanded, his dark eyebrows pulled
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Stored Lamentations
The pain that struck her chest that night did not shatter Isabella into nothingness. Instead, the cruel betrayal she had witnessed with her own eyes acted as a sharp, agonizing whip.It forced her tear-stained eyes wide open, shattering the long, foolish dream she had clung to for so many years.Even though she had allowed herself to be treated as an ignored puppet empress, reduced to a mere quiet ghost in the grand imperial estate, she vowed never to let this blood-soaked throne destroy her family or her homeland. Yet, deep down in the quietest, most vulnerable depths of her bruised heart, a tragic truth remained—she still loved Cedric.She loved the man who had once been her entire world, the man who had held her hand before the crown consumed his soul.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Another Woman
Isabella stood frozen at the threshold, her wide eyes locked onto the woman's distinct features.The face was painfully familiar—the very same face painted on a hidden canvas inside Cedric's private study.She was the Princess of Sorox, Cedric's first love and childhood sweetheart who had been torn away from him by past political rivalries.The soft creak of the door caused the woman's playful laughter to abruptly cease.Cedric turned his head toward the entrance, a brief flash of surprise crossing his sharp crimson eyes.Yet he made no effort to move or remove his arm from around the foreign princess's waist."Isabella?" Cedric called out, his voice unnaturally calm and voi
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Love That Arrives
Although the Southern Kingdom was officially a neutral territory, its rulers had never forgotten the nobility of Hera's former emperors.For generations, the throne had been occupied by sovereign leaders whose wisdom guided the continent through volatile times.However, everything shifted dramatically when Cedric’s father ascended the imperial throne.Not only did he look entirely different from his predecessors, but he also harbored an insatiable hunger for political dominion.To consolidate his absolute rule, the emperor swiftly banished his own nephew, Kaelus, to a frozen outpost at the edge of the border.Standing beneath the vast gray sky, Isabella watched the clouds drift across the horizon.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Shadow of the Moon
The patter of raindrops tapping against the waiting room window slowly blurred Isabella’s reflection. The sound carried her mind far back to a cold night seven years ago.A night when her destiny became inextricably bound to a young man who now stood on the precipice of ruin right before her eyes.Her fingers touched the cold glass. A thin veil of condensation clung to the tip of her index finger.Seven years. She could still smell the damp earth from that night.Under the cover of a night sky shrouded in thick fog, Isabella walked slowly along the riverbank at the outermost boundary of the palace grounds. The rustling water and the murmur of the night wind were the sole comforts for her frail body.“Princess, let

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
