[The Crypt – The heavy silence lingers after the necromancer’s final words. Celestia forces herself to breathe steadily, but the weight of their prophecy clings to her skin like a curse.]

[Softly, almost mocking] You look troubled, little villainess.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Coldly] I don’t believe in fate.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirking] Good. Then you won’t mind if I prove them right.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Tensing] …What?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Lowly] I told you before, Celestia. If you plan to leave me, run while you still can.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Holding his gaze] And if I don’t?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Grinning darkly] Then you’ll never leave at all.

[His hand lifts, tracing a gloved finger along her jaw. She stiffens, but he only chuckles and steps back, as if savoring her reaction.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): He’s testing me. But I won’t break that easily.

[ The Palace Courtyard – The battle is over. The guards clean up the remains of the undead, but the tension hasn’t lifted.]
Captain Elias Wolfe

[Saluting Lucien] The intruders have been dealt with, Your Majesty. But the palace’s defenses were breached too easily.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Flatly] Which means someone let them in.
Captain Elias Wolfe

[Grimly] We may have a traitor.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Sharply] No. We do have a traitor.

[The Palace Walls – From the shadows, a cloaked figure watches the aftermath of the battle before slipping away, unseen.]
???
???
??? [Muttering] It has begun.
[They vanish into the night.]
.
[ Celestia’s Chamber – Late at night, she stands by her window, deep in thought. The necromancer’s words refuse to leave her mind.]
Anise(Maid)
Anise(Maid)
[Softly] My Lady, you should rest.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Quietly] Do you believe in fate, Anise?
Anise(Maid)
Anise(Maid)
[Surprised] Fate?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Turning to face her] If someone told you that the person you loved would one day destroy you… what would you do?
Anise(Maid)
Anise(Maid)
[Uneasy] … I would run.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Smiling faintly] But what if running only ensured that fate would win?
Anise(Maid)
Anise(Maid)
[Frowning] My Lady…
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Sighing] Forget it. It’s just a hypothetical.
[But they both know it isn’t.]
.
[The Throne Room – Lucien sits lazily on his throne, watching as Celestia enters. His violet eyes glint with amusement.]

Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Ignoring his taunt] I want to make a deal.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Amused] A deal? How interesting.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Serious] If you truly want me, then prove it.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Raising an eyebrow] Oh? And what kind of proof are you asking for?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Calmly] Give me your kingdom.
[Silence. Then, Lucien laughs—a low, dangerous sound that sends chills down her spine.]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirking] You’re bold, little villainess. But tell me… what will you do once you have it?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Softly] Save you from yourself
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)

[For the first time, something flickers in his violet eyes. Amusement? Curiosity? Something darker?]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Lowly] What makes you think I want to be saved?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Firmly] Because if you weren’t afraid… you would have killed me already.
[Lucien stands abruptly, closing the distance between them in one swift motion. She doesn’t step back. He studies her, a slow, wicked grin spreading across his lips.]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirking] You want my kingdom? How fascinating.
