The Devil’s Secret
[Scene: Duchess Vivian’s Private Parlor – A dimly lit room filled with expensive perfumes and old secrets. Celestia sits across from the woman who once held Lucien’s heart.]
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Sipping wine] You intrigue me, little villainess.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Calmly] And you know something I need.
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Smirking] Oh, I know many things, dear. But knowledge comes at a price.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Unfazed] Name it.
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Leaning in, whispering] A favor.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Smirking] What kind?
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Lazily] The kind that may put you against the King himself.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): That was always inevitable.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Softly] Done. Now, tell me.
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Chuckling] So fearless. You remind me of someone.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Flatly] I don’t care. Talk.
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Eyes gleaming] Fine. You want to know Lucien’s weakness?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Yes
Duchess Vivian Devereaux
[Voice dropping to a whisper] Then listen carefully.
[Scene Change: The Throne Room – Late at night. Lucien sits alone, deep in thought, when Captain Elias enters.]
Captain Elias Wolfe
[Cautiously] You sent for me, Your Majesty?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Slowly] She met with Vivian.
Captain Elias Wolfe
[Tensing] … You already knew she would.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirking] Of course.
Captain Elias Wolfe
[Lowering his voice] Then why allow it?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Leaning back] Because I want to see what she does with the truth.
Captain Elias Wolfe
[Frowning] And if she uses it against you?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Softly, dark amusement in his voice] Then I’ll remind her exactly who she belongs to.
[Scene Change: Celestia’s Chambers – Late at night. She stares out at the moon, Duchess Vivian’s words echoing in her mind.]
Anise(Maid)
[Worried] My Lady, you’re shaking…
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Softly] I’m fine.
Anise(Maid)
[Nervously] What… what did the Duchess tell you?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): That Lucien isn’t just obsessed. He’s cursed.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Whispering] That the King… is bound to the one he loves......
Anise(Maid)
[Eyes widening] …What?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Darkly] And that if he truly falls for me… neither of us will escape.
Anise(Maid)
