“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.

Never would I have expected coming to witness such chaos happening in my absence.


I arrived just at the moment my father stepped on my wife's dress and had her fall on the ground before dragging her by the dress.


But she turned and began to land him blows and from there it led to the other until she lifted the excess of her dress which was very unladylike and covered over his head as a method to suffocate him.


I stood stunned at such a barbaric act to a point I did not know how to feel anymore.


What even led to such a heated fight between them?


And from trying to strangle him with her dress, he tore it open and she quickly switched to strangling him with her left arm tightly wrapped around his neck and instead of feeling alarmed, he laughed and that was it for me.


"ENOUGH!" I roared in irritation and annoyance.


Instead of talking it out, they chose to play around.
