PREVIEW:

As she slid down the filled tub, her mind wandered on its own. Slowly, she closed her eyes. She remembered the living days of her deceased husband. She remembered his smile and his kindness. She was crying, but all her tears had diffused with the water surrounding her.

She felt that she was diving in the ocean without oxygen. But even if she couldn't breathe, her body felt so free. It felt like she was separating from her soul.

She thought, "So this is how it's like to die... I feel refreshed and free."

When she thought she could really continue dying, her instinct and consciousness woke her up. She struggled to move her body, then raised her head to breathe again.

She suddenly felt the terror of death, then found herself sitting up, and the water was just above her waist. Her long, platinum blonde hair was all over her face. She breathed heavily, gasping for air.

"What are you doing in my bath?"

A naked stranger suddenly spoke behind Ely.

The Ballad Queen's Lover is a Ruthless King

As soon as Marvella reached the same row as the wine merchant in front, she bowed to the Crown Prince.


"Good day, your Highness. I am-" she gasped, when she looked up and met Ezekiel's gray irises.


His face resembling Maro was too much that she was taken aback. She thought her excitement could make her run her mouth nonstop to explain everything about wine, but she was wrong. It felt quite odd seeing a younger version of her father.


The prince narrowed his eyes on her. Her ocean blue irises reminded him of his mother Elizabeth. 


Realizing the prince had been waiting for her to speak, Marvella told him, "Apologies, I was shocked by your beauty, your Highness. The color of your eyes is like the full moon above the Eternitos Sea," she smiled sweetly. 


The woman surely knew how to flatter, but it didn't work with Ezekiel. He experienced too much flattery in his life that he learnt how to act nonchalant. "Introduce yourself."


"I am Ella from the Primus classic wines."
