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

This bracelet reminds me of him and our friendship. I value it so much because it is the only thing which I have of my village. I was going to wear it but the king’s voice stopped me.

/"You can see it, touch it but you cannot wear it/". The king says in a commanding tone. I look at him with questioning eyes. I am confused by what he said. It is mine but I cannot wear it, why?

/"But why? My king, this is mine/". I say to him with conviction. This is mine and I will take it from him.

/"I did not deny the fact that it is yours but you cannot take it, my dove/". The king says with a tone that indicates that it is the end of the discussion. He does not want to give it to me. If he doesn't want me to have it then why has he placed it here, in that box?

He takes it back from my hand and puts it in the box again. He closes the box and puts it back on the table. I was still looking at it when we heard a knock.
