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

/"I king Eric Leonor give you my word that I will give you whatever you want/". The king says. I smile at this. Now, Esme will not die. I will be able to save her life. King will forgive her now. I am happy that she will not die because of me.

/"Don’t kill Esme-/". I start to say but the king stops me with a gesture of his hand.

/"Stop! I don’t want to hear/". He said to me in a hard tone. His eyes turned hard just at the mention of her. He pours some more wine into the goblet and drinks it in one go. I hesitantly put my hand on the king’s arm. I thought a hundred times before touching him. He looked towards me the moment when my hand touched his arm.
