Isoda

> They erased her name. Burned her bloodline. Left her for dead.

But Milena survived. Reborn into the heart of the empire that destroyed her, she moves through the royal courts like a shadow—silent, sharp, watching.

She has no interest in love. No patience for power games. Only one goal: make the crown remember what it tried to forget.

Then she meets him—the Crown Prince.
The man who unknowingly signed her family’s death.
The man who starts to notice her.
The man who, slowly… she can’t stop thinking about.

This is not the story of a girl who wanted to be queen.

This is the story of a forgotten heir who falls in love with her enemy… and still plans to bring down the kingdom

The forgotten blood

"You scare me," he said, "and I still want you."

Instead, I stood still — watching him.

He didn't move like a prince. He moved like a man who had run out of reasons not to.

Like lightning when the sky doesn't rumble first.

His hand caught my waist, his lips crashing into mine like he'd held back for too long.

And for a heartbeat — a single, dangerous moment — I let him.

I let him feel what it was like to touch something he could never own.

"Careful," I whispered. "You might get used to wanting things you can't keep."

He looked at me like I had burned him — and he liked the pain.

I turned without a word and left the greenhouse.

Let him remember the taste of fire.

Let me know when you're ready for Chapter 28 — where Milena pretends nothing happened… but the prince can't forget.

Chapter 27: The Line He Crossed Without Asking

He didn't move like a prince. He moved like a man who had run out of reasons not to.
