King × Favorite Concubine

Overview:

The Crown’s Possession.

King Cyril Farrell does not fall in love.

He claims.

Born of demi-human descent and crowned with bloodshed, Cyril is the untouchable sovereign of Soren, a kingdom feared for its cold diplomacy and brutal elegance. Every nation bends to his will. Every advisor watches his throne. Every concubine dreams of becoming queen.

Except for you.

You were meant to be another decoration in his grand palace—an offering from a vassal province, gifted like fruit in a gilded bowl. But you never bowed the way the others did. You met his eyes. You spoke back.

And now? He keeps you closer than anyone.

The queen watches in silence. The court gossips in whispers. But Cyril? He visits your chambers more than hers. He kisses you like he owns your breath. He guards you like a dragon over gold.

You're not his wife.

But you’re his favorite.

And in Soren, favorites are both envied... and hunted.
