All Chapters of Rise of The Ruling Queen: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Levi… my love… I’ve missed you so much,” Viviane purred sweetly, drawing a happy laugh from Levi.Amidst the pool of her own blood and the overwhelming pain tearing through her, Scarlett heard every sigh and breathless moan of pleasure between Levi and Viviane clearly.“Whatever you wish, my love!” Levi replied, lifting Viviane easily into his arms and carrying her toward the bed at the far end of the room.All the while he held her, Viviane never stopped caressing and kissing his face and jaw, glancing back at Scarlett over his shoulder. She wore a smug, triumphant smile as she watched Scarlett weeping uncontrollably. Scarlett ground her teeth together, fighting the throbbing, burning ache and the heavy, dragging weight deep in her abdomen. Every small movement made the sharp object inside her scrape and slice through her flesh and organs, as if tearing her apart cell by cell.“Darling… what should we do about my sister? I feel so sorry for her, just lying there all alone. Besides…

'Don’t be too hasty, Scarlett. This time, do not trust anyone easily—not even Mia—until I uncover everyone standing behind Levi and Viviane!’Scarlett studied Mia’s face for a moment, searching for any trace of deceit. She found none. She remembered then that Mia was naturally reserved and quiet. Scarlett began to doubt the judgment she had held in her previous life. Even so, she smiled gently.“Yes, I am ready, Mia.” She reached out her hand toward the stunned maid.Mia looked startled before hurriedly taking Scarlett’s hands in her own, her movements marked by an awkwardness that was far too obvious—as if she was entirely unaccustomed to receiving such kindness from her mistress. Her fingers trembled within Scarlett’s grasp.Scarlett observed her reaction closely. She merely gave a faint smile and walked out of the room alongside Mia. Yet, they had barely taken a few steps down the hallway when Scarlett caught sight of a figure that instantly triggered all her worst memories.Vivian

“Granddaughter.” Marcus’s voice pulled Scarlett out of her thoughts once again.Marcus stepped closer and touched her hand with deep concern. “Are you feeling unwell? You’ve looked so pale ever since we started.”Scarlett looked up at her grandfather with an awkward smile. “I’m fine, Grandfather.”In her past life, Marcus had been one of the people she respected the most. But respect didn’t mean she could place her full trust in him so freely, not yet, at least. She still couldn’t be sure if everyone and everything around her was exactly as she remembered.“I just feel a little light-headed, that’s all. I’ll be okay,” she said, squeezing his hand in return, trying to reassure the old man that she didn’t need extra attention.Just as Marcus was about to speak again, the sharp crash of breaking glass suddenly echoed through the hall.Crash!The sound of a glass falling and shattering against the floor rang out loud and clear, cutting through the quiet of the grand room. Every head turne

“Relax, Viviane. I am certain the name written there is my eternal soulmate. Why are you so worried about me? Are you afraid it might turn out to be yours?” Scarlett retorted calmly.Her words, laden with hidden meaning, shocked everyone present, not just Viviane, but Levi most of all.“Scarlett! What are you talking about? Viviane is genuinely concerned for you! She is kind and always looks out for you. Why do you always treat her this way?” Levi spoke up unthinkingly, defending Viviane in front of everyone and swaying public opinion against Scarlett.Just as expected Viviane suddenly drew closer and knelt before Scarlett, who stood watching in silence. Scarlett instinctively stepped away from her, her face showing plain boredom.“Sister, please forgive me if I upset you. I truly only want the best for you, Sister. You see, you are the only family I have left aside from Grandfather… even though he always seems to put you first… I… I am so sorry…” Viviane began to cry, bowing her head

‘It has to be Levi!’Scarlett knew Levi’s nature all too well. That man carried the blood of a wolf that flared easily with temper and loved to display his strength.Now, every bit of that felt utterly repulsive to Scarlett.“Damian, what exactly are you implying? Do not start trouble here!” Levi growled, furious.Damian raised both hands in a casual gesture of surrender. “Hey now, friend, no need to get angry. My apologies, I’ve always had a terrible sense of humor.”This time, Scarlett could no longer hold back her reaction. The moment she heard the tone of Damian’s voice, she jerked awake from her feigned sleep, coughing softly from having suppressed her laughter for so long. In that very instant, she realized something startling, her sleep spell had absolutely no effect on Damian at all.Suddenly, every hair on Scarlett’s body stood on end.‘Damian Carrington… In my past life, you were my sworn enemy, the one I hated most, and the one I always defeated so easily. But now… why do I
