“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.

(This is what happened after Deborah died. And note, this is 3 years after)


"Lord Peter," my spy came into my office on my permission.


"You have a message," he said and came to my desk before handing me a bloody folded piece of paper.


"What is the meaning of this?" I asked in curiosity and alertness as I took it from him and unfolded it to see what was written inside.


I have been charged with a strange and severe illness by the physicians and may not live to see tomorrow or even tonight and it is with great difficulty I write to you.


I had chosen to keep quiet over the things happening here but not anymore.


They claim my illness to be contagious and I am not allowed to see anyone and because of this, I have been isolated from everyone.
