Bella found herself in the kingdom of Ithru, a land cloaked in mystery and foreboding. The air smelled of damp earth and sorrow. She was thrust into a life of servitude at the palace, far from the idyllic memories of Eldoria. The palace stood tall, its stone walls whispering secrets of its own. Days stretched into weeks as Bella endured harsh treatment. Yet, the fire of vengeance burned brightly within her. Each night, she would sharpen her mind with bitterness and rage, plotting her escape and the sweet taste of revenge against the Meridans who had taken everything from her.
It was during her servitude that she caught the eye of Prince Kieran, the aloof heir to the Ithru throne. He was a figure of dominance, shrouded in mystery and unparalleled strength. Underneath his stoic exterior lay scars that mirrored Bella's own – losses that clung to his heart. He observed her poised determination and quiet resilience, intrigued by the girl who bore the weight of grief with an unwavering spirit.
As their paths continued to cross, Bella sensed a hidden depth to Prince Kieran, a complexity that went beyond his royal demeanor. She saw glimpses of a tortured soul, one who had faced his own share of darkness and emerged stronger because of it. The prince's enigmatic nature drew Bella in, sparking a curiosity she couldn't ignore.
Despite the danger, Bella found herself drawn to Prince Kieran, sensing an unlikely alliance brewing between them. Little did she know, their destinies were intertwined, bound by a shared desire for justice and a thirst for revenge against those who had wronged them. As the shadows of the palace whispered secrets in her ear, Bella realized that her time in Ithru was only the beginning of a perilous journey, one that would test her courage, her wits, and her very soul.
