People say that love and obsession are two different things that are hardly related. Do you think the same? In reality, these are opposite sides of the same coin.
The question that comes to mind is, can obsession be so intense that it blurs the thin line between right and wrong?
To see these things better let’s dive into the journey of A merciless, cruel king and a common village girl.
This is the tale of a ruthless tyrant, Eric Leonor, and his obsession which brought a drastic change in the life of the one whom he loves.
What will happen to the girl who catches the king’s eye? She is not only the king’s obsession but his slave too. She is the most beautiful slave in his harem.
Her name is as serene as her looks. Isabelle lived a beautiful life until the time when the king attacked her village. She was made a slave. She does not know if her family is alive or not. But she knew what would be her destiny when she stepped into the Dark Palace.   
She knew she will become a slave to the king and she will have to bear this cruelty upon her.

A Tale of Dark Lust

My hair is left open and they have applied something to my face because my lips are red, I look a little different.

If someone from my village had seen me like this then I would have been buried six feet under the ground. I never thought that in my life I would ever wear such a dress ever.

/"Wow she is looking beautiful. The king will be so happy to see her. You both have done great work/". Lillian exclaims happily looking over at me. Now I am feeling even more disgusted. I am shocked by her words. To her, I am looking beautiful! Is she even in her senses? I feel like she has lost her mind.

Edith gives me a big cloth of silk and puts it on my shoulders. There is embroidery of golden color done on it. /"Now she is ready to go/". Edith says to Lillian. No, I am not ready to go. Not ready. I have to wear something else because this dress is not for me. It suits all the slaves in the harem but not me.
