For generations, our people fought, but finally, my father, the king, and the royals of Lotisana sought peace through marriage. I was wed to Carlos, the Grand Duke of Lotisana. Though it was a political union, he was kind, loving, and patient, never making me feel inferior despite my inability to bear an heir due to an incurable illness. I believed I had found a true partner.
But everything was a lie.
I discovered too late that Carlos had been poisoning me. Every word, every touch, every promise was a deception. The man I trusted had been stealing my life away, all while pretending to be my savior. When my death came, it was not peaceful but brutal. My family was slaughtered, and my kingdom crumbled.
I ended in misery, my life stolen by betrayal, but I could not rest. Somehow, I found a way to possess the body of a maid who looked exactly like me. My spirit, lost and confused, had escaped my tormentor’s grasp.
And then, I saw him. Eric, my betrothed, the crown prince of an allied nation I once fought beside. For years, I believed him dead, lost in the chaos of war. But there he stood, alive.
The past, full of promises and betrayals, flooded back. The man I once trusted was now a stranger. Fate had brought us together again, and I couldn’t escape the pull of our tangled history.
Was this a chance for redemption, or another cruel twist of fate?
