Shadow Crown:I refused to be a queen when I reborn
Isabella has been reborn.
"I must is the most failed ruler in the history of the vampire empire," she thought, as the realization that she had returned to the past lingered in her mind. She admitted she wasn't strictly a good person. In her previous life, she maintained her reign through deception, betraying those who cared for her.
So, as she lay dying, when Duke Vlad, holding Alia's hand, drove the only silver sword - capable of killing the bloodline of Isabella's family, sealed in the depths of the Lorr Mountains - into her heart, Isabella thought, "Is this my end? After using every means to climb to the throne, exploiting everyone to maintain my rule, this is my retribution. It's ironic, the great seventh vampire queen, meeting her demise at the hands of a foolish couple, dreaming of reconciling vampires and humans."
Upon hearing the news of his archenemy's death and Vlad's usurpation, King Aldric dismissed his attendants and walked to the window, his heart entangled in indescribable emotions. He should have been happy, yet why was there a lingering sadness in his heart?
