***** "And the kiss last night?" he asked, stepping closer until she could feel the warmth of him so near. Katrina clutched the roses, heart pounding, feeling the butterflies rising in her. His eyes held her, intense and filled with an emotion she couldn't name. "I don't regret it," he murmured. "I meant every bit of it, and I'd love to—" Katrina didn't let him finish. She pulled him close and pressed her lips to his, unable to resist any longer.  He responded immediately, his arms wrapping around her waist, pulling her close.  His kiss was slow and deep, full of a passion that set her on fire. ****** King Karl of Xylonia, known as the masked king, is feared by all. Cursed at birth to die at 25, he hides half his face behind a mask, leaving everyone wondering what lies beneath. Ruthless and cold-hearted, he never expected to fall in love—until Katrina enters his life. Katrina, a slave-princess, is treated like a servant in her own home because she was born outside of marriage. When her father can't repay his debt to King Karl, he offers his eldest daughter in placed of his youngest daughter, claiming she has a magical touch that heals with a simple massage. Intrigued, the king agrees. But Katrina was never the chosen one, and the healing power is a lie. As the king starts to fall for her, Katrina is trapped in a web of deceit. How long can she keep her secret before the vengeful king uncovers the truth? And when he does, will their love survive—or will the mask of the king hide a fury that could destroy them both?

Tyrant's Obsession With The Heiress

Enemies to lovers Villainous and possessive ML Fiery spirited FL Dark Romance Excerpt: “Wife?” Lady Karina repeated, almost shouting as if she'd misheard him. “I would not marry you even if you were the last man in this world,” she remarked with sweet venom, a poison Van Merikh would gladly drink. “You are a murderer and a thief. I do not want you!” “But I want you,” Van Merikh stated firmly, his dual-coloured gaze leaving no room for argument. “And that is where this conversation shall end, Lady.” Van Merikh threw open the door and practically dragged her to the base of the stairs that led to the upper floors. When she refused to mount the steps, he easily lifted her onto the first step and spanked her soundly on the bottom. “Go to your chambers,” he ordered softly. “This is not over,” Lady Karina growled. “I will fight you with the last breath in my body against this…this madness.” “Go, or you shall feel my hand on your backside again.” ************** Magic as the world of Ethuaria knew it came from the distinct markings specific to each bloodline and nation that a person may or may not have been born with. It would appear at birth on different parts of the child’s body, bringing about unique abilities passed down in their bloodline from mother to child. And for eighteen-year-old Lady Karina Hyacinth Reinhardt, life had always been one of comfort and peace with the secret abilities of her bloodline. As the beloved, yet sheltered, heiress of Moonveil Keep on the borders of the Kingdom of Caelthywn, she spent her days managing her father’s lands and overseeing the affairs of their people, never knowing true hardship. That was until Orpheus Van Merikh, the most feared warlord across the lands, invaded her home and seized it for his claims. Known as the devil himself, Van Merikh does not simply claim Moonveil for its riches, but for the rumoured beasts the Reinhardt bloodline conceals—most of all the White Phoenix, whose ashes, when reborn, are said to repel evil and break curses. But when Van Merikh leaves for yet another conquest, conspiracies arise—and all hell breaks loose when the beast returns to find his angel gone.

Reborn with the Conquest System

You'd think getting isekai’d means **free magic, free gold, and a harem full of hot waifus?** That you’ll flex on peasants, walk into town like a king, and farm EXP until you’re god-tier? **Well, Magnus thought that too.** Then his system **threw his ass into a war and told him to start conquering.** No OP skill. No hero’s welcome. Just a single, unbreakable rule: **CONQUER. OR CEASE TO EXIST.** - **Wanna be a chill adventurer?** Hope your corpse makes good fertilizer. - **Wanna avoid war?** Try that while an entire kingdom is hunting you down. - **Wanna ignore the system?** Hope you enjoy **soul deletion, dumbass.** And this world? Oh, it’s worse than the nightmares cooked up by sleep-deprived game devs. - Knights so roided up they suplex war elephants for warmups. - Siege weapons that don’t just destroy castles—they **delete** them from history. - Heroes that are **one bad day away** from turning into demon lords. *"I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!"* — Magnus, screaming while dodging a knight who just used an **elephant** as a projectile. At this point? **Screw playing nice.** If the world wants a monster, **he’ll be the one they fear the most.** #SystemSaysWageWar #KnightsBenchPressCathedrals #HeroesArePsycho #MagnusAin’tDyingTwice --- 1. Probably no harem. Probably. 2. No yuri, yaoi, smut. 3. He won't instantly be an anti hero, give me some time to cook. 4. If you got any questions feel free to ask, I'll definitely respond! 5. The elephant scene will happen later!
