The Crown's Seduction

[Warning: r18+/strong mature content] He is her salvation. She, his demise. Yet, he refuses to let her go… Mineah, the youngest Princess of Ebodia, was cursed at birth to remain untainted and bring misfortune to those around her. This prophecy looms over her like a dark cloud, growing heavier each year it remains unfulfilled. She exists in whispers as a pitiful figure—fragile, meek, unwanted. Beneath this facade lies a strong and spirited vixen worthy of being a queen. Determined, this would-be queen sets her sights on breaking her curse, even if it means outsmarting the most cunning vampire ever born. Nikolai, though reclusive and enigmatic, is revered by the Kingdom of Valcrez as a wise and powerful ruler. Unknown to his loyal subjects, his image of perfection is a web of lies that, if exposed, could bring their kingdom and everything they hold dear crumbling down. When these two find their paths intertwined through a marriage alliance, the game of Crown's Seduction begins. But who is the hunter and who is the prey? ******** Excerpt: "Why are you stripping naked in front of me?" she asked, frowning, unable to mask the irritation in her voice. Her goal was to capture only his heart, not his entire body! "Am I not allowed to bathe with my wife?" he retorted coldly. "I specifically requested a large tub to ensure we both fit comfortably." She sighed, maintaining eye contact as she regained her composure. Seeing his smirk, she forced herself to relax as he continued. "That’s more like it. You said yourself that no one forced you into marrying me. Instead, you offered and volunteered yourself willingly for it, so I expect you to be confident enough to share a bath with your husband," Nikolai confidently stated. "After all, we’ll do more than this soon enough." Shameless… Preventing herself from rolling her eyes, she managed a smile and replied, “Don’t blame me if you die on me then.” **** Note: Volume 1: Main Story Status - Completed (Chapters 1 to 403) Volume 2: Side Story Status - Completed (Chapters 404 to 472) Volume 3: Side Story Status - **** PS: Commissioned Book Cover owned by the Author!
