“Release him.”

King Odiley’s command shattered the silence of the hall, making the captain of the guard hesitate for a fraction of a second before stepping forward. The bindings around Kaelus’s wrists were promptly undone.

The dark-skinned ruler leaned forward, his face a mask of indifference. In truth, however, he was rapidly calculating the imme

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Empress

    Isabella stood with grace even as her neck was choked, her expression devoid of fear. Perhaps she had long prepared herself for the arrival of this inevitable day."You leaked this plan to Valthorne and ruined everything I built!" Cedric squeezed her neck harder, his fingernails digging deep into her flesh."I merely saved this empire from disaster, Your Majesty," she gasped weakly."You wretched fool; you are the disaster!""Is this not what you taught me, to achieve our desires by any means necessary?" she countered with a faint, bitter smile. "I refuse to watch the entire empire crumble under divine wrath for your sins."With a roar of pure fury, Cedric violently threw Isabella's frail body aside.

    The morning reception in the Small Banquet Hall concluded under a suffocating, tense situation. Cedric abruptly dismissed the senior ministers with a stiff wave of his hand and an expression nearly cracking with rage."That will be all for today."A white-bearded minister rose halfway from his seat. "Your Majesty, the discussion regarding the port taxes has not yet...""I said that is enough." Cedric’s voice was low and flat, making it far more terrifying than a shout. "Everyone, get out."The bewildered ministers exchanged awkward glances, forcing tight smiles before hurrying out of the room.As soon as they stepped into the corridor, quiet whispers and speculative rumors regarding the arsenic in the East Wing and the

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    The Wrath

    Roselyn turned her head smoothly toward the grand hall’s high entrance, offering a subtle, imperceptible nod to the tall figure standing loyally in the shadows outside.Upon receiving her signal, Eden stepped into the banquet hall with measured, completely soundless strides, carrying a heavy carved wooden box draped beneath a thick black velvet cloth.He knelt solemnly beside the head dining table before the silent council, placing his hands flat against the cold marble floor as he unveiled the chest directly in front of the assembled ministers and the Emperor himself.Inside the deep compartments of the dark wooden chest lay several iron canisters filled with dense, black smoke powder and jagged poisonous crystals that immediately released a sharp, acrid stench into the polished air."What in the world is the meaning of bringing such dangerous, filthy items into my presence?" Cedric hissed, his handsome face flushing a deep, dangerous red as he struggled to suppress his mounting fury.

  • No Longer Your Puppet, Duke    Reversed Trap

    The air inside the East Wing’s master bedroom was heavy, carrying the sharp, metallic chill of the fading autumn night. Dawn had not yet broken over the imperial capital, leaving the sky outside framed in shades of bruised violet and slate gray. Inside, the quiet was absolute, broken only by the faint rustle of heavy silk. Roselyn stood before the full-length gilded mirror, finishing the crisp folds of her elaborate gown. Her hands, resting against the dark fabric, were cold and trembled slightly despite her inner resolve. She drew a steadying breath, watching her own reflection—the high, elegant collar, the meticulously braided hair, and the pale composure of a woman walking directly into an ambush.From behind her, quiet footsteps approached over the thick velvet rug. Kaelus stepped into the frame of the mirror. He reached out, his long, calloused fingers steady as he pinned a silver brooch—carved in the likeness of the Valthorne family crest—just above the thick collar of her dres

    The sinister plot laid itself out with terrifying clarity in Kaelus’s mind. The Emperor was deliberately capitalizing on the rampant rumors regarding Roselyn’s pregnancy. If an explosive "accident" involving toxic smoke occurred in the East Wing, the blame for any resulting tragedy would instantly be placed on Roselyn’s supposed frailty and failure to protect herself.If Roselyn succumbed to the poison, the court would dismiss it as the unfortunate consequence of a delicate woman compromised by early pregnancy.Conversely, if any member of the imperial bloodline suffered harm in the chaos, the Valthorne name would swiftly be painted as negligent traitors and convenient scapegoats.“We cannot allow the Grand Duchess to remain in that garden a moment longer. We must extract her immediatel

    Pregnancy.The word struck Roselyn like a physical blow. Her hands tightened instinctively around the thick cloak resting on her lap until her knuckles turned ghostly white.“I must apologize, Your Majesty... for being so late in officially informing the Imperial Court.”“You surely had your own reasons, Lady,” Isabella interrupted gently, setting the teapot back down with a delicate clink. “Especially after hearing rumors that you survived multiple assassination and kidnapping attempts... it is hardly easy to let outsiders—who might very well be your enemies—know of such a vulnerable condition.”Isabella focused her gaze straight toward Roselyn, even though her pale pink eyes could not fully center her pupils on R

    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

    No one greeted Roselyn as she left the room. There was only a silence that felt like an insult, making her misery complete.A few servants were called to drag her away, but Roselyn brushed their hands off.Step by step, holding onto the wall, she walked down the corridor with every joint in her bod

  • 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

    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
