“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.

In silence, Dally asked what I would like to wear and quietly did her job without once asking about what she saw and it made me nervous.


She was currently tightening my corset before I would get into the dress I chose for myself.


I remained standing straight in the middle of my room with so many thoughts running through my mind and whenever I parted my lips to explain myself to Dally, I would close them back in uncertainty.


Once she tightened it to my taste, she helped me into the dress I chose which was an olive color with white flower design all over and it held my body in the right places.


As for my chest, it made the little cleavage look even more enticing but it wasn't indecent.


Besides, I wasn't doing any of it on purpose or with the motive of seducing Peter.


I had actually done a little change to my wardrobe in my early life before I had died. I wanted to make Lauren want me so I dressed in a way that would have him look twice but he didn't.
