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

The time continued to pass with me sitting beside my bed on the floor. It is now evening and the sun is about to set. The whole day passed and I continued to think about Esme's words and what I planned to do now. I will not back down now.

I hear the sound of the door opening. I don’t turn around to look who is at the door. I am in no mood to talk with anyone. I hope whoever the person is, leaves without bothering me.

/"Isabelle, where are you?/" I hear Lillian’s voice but I don’t answer. I don’t want to talk with her. Esme must have complained to her about me. She always lies and again must have lied to her. She loves it when Lillian is angry at me.

/"Isabelle, are you here?/" She again asks but I don’t reply. I hope she leaves because I am in no mood to talk with her. I hear her footsteps coming closer to me.
