Crowned Queen: Ten Princes Begged Too Late

She grew up with ten princes. She loved them all. They used her. Three days before her coronation, she caught them with her maid—planning to steal her throne. At the ceremony, she didn't choose one. She chose none. Stripped their titles. Cast them out. They begged. She refused. When Cassian came back, she broke the stone bracelet he gave her as a child—and crowned herself alone. She didn't need a king. She never did. This is how a princess becomes a queen.
