“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.”
~
In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’.
And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit.
But death didn't take me. It sent me back.
I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom.
But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room.
Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers.
In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning.
But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.”
He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name.
My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees.
Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

I roared in anger as I gave Bernard no breathing space.


I lunged at him with everything I got as I swung my sword violently at him with him trying really hard to keep up.


I yelled at him and he tried but after much effort, I knocked his sword off his hold and swiftly pointed the tip of my sword to his neck, making him freeze in fear.


I was breathing heavily as my fierce eyes stared back at him with some strands of hair stuck to my forehead and temples due to sweat.


"Sister, that is enough," I heard Ruby worriedly tell me.


"IT IS NOT!" I snapped at her as I turned to see her.


She was standing with my lady in waiting, Peace, since Dally was yet to come.


"Please sister, you have practiced continuously over the past two days while barely eating anything and it is unsafe for you. I know you are mad about the other woman being pregnant bu-"


"Leave," I coldly said without letting her complete her statement.
