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

/"Yes, yes/". I quickly lie because this is the only way to get out of this alive.

/"Soldiers, lower down your swords. The king had ordered a few days back to let the slave go alive if she succeeds in getting out of the maze/". He tells the other soldiers and I breathe a sigh of relief. A smile appears on my face.

/"You can go. I have never seen any slave getting out of the maze alive in my sixty years. You are the first one to get out of the maze. You can go as per the king's orders/". He tells me and I quickly stand up. This is my chance to leave and I should be away from these soldiers as soon as possible.

Suddenly I remember that I don’t have any water and I am thirsty. In fear, I had forgotten about my thirst. My throat has become as dry as a desert. /"Can I get some water, please?/". I ask the soldier who seems like a good man. He nods.
