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.

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

I open my eyes and look around me. I feel like I have been sleeping for quite some time. I don't know how much time has passed since I was asleep. I don’t even know what time of the day it is. There is no one here in my room except me as usual.

I am thirsty. My throat is dry. I look beside me on the table and see the jug. I tried to sit up in bed which was not very difficult this time. My head is not spinning anymore. I pour the water into the goblet and then drink it.

I remember what happened to me the last time I woke up. I was feeling hot. Maybe I had a fever. I am fine now and don’t feel the heat or the spinning of my head anymore. I remember the goblet falling from my hand along with the water. I look towards the floor and see it clean. Maybe someone has cleaned it.
