[Bonus Chapter: The Queen's Unexpected Soft Side]
A week after the coronation, I discovered something truly terrifying.
The all-powerful, fearsome Shadow Queen…
Was utterly, hopelessly addicted to bubble tea.
I found her one morning, curled up on the royal throne—barefoot, wearing my old hoodie again, sipping bubble tea through a bright pink straw with an expression of absolute bliss on her face.
"Your Majesty… you're seriously using the Throne of Eternal Night as a lounge chair again?"
She didn't even glance at me.
"Silence, Caretaker—I mean, King," she corrected herself with a lazy smile. "True power is knowing when to command… and when to relax."
I crossed my arms, staring at the array of empty bubble tea cups scattered around her feet.
"How many cups did you drink?"
She glanced at me over the rim of her cup, eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Enough to conquer my heart… but perhaps not enough to satisfy my cravings."
That's when she stood up suddenly, crossed the space between us in a blink, and leaned dangerously close to my face.
"So… my dear King. Are you going to fulfill your royal duties and get me more… or shall I punish you for negligence?"
My heart skipped.
I swear she enjoyed watching me squirm.
But as she turned and walked away, I noticed something else—
The smallest, softest smile.
For all her power and pride, she was still… just a little bit lonely.
And in that moment, I realized—being King wasn't just about surviving wars.
It was about… being the one person she didn't have to rule over.
To be continued…
