Shadows of the Crown
Hannah Kim was an ordinary girl living in modern-day Seoul, South Korea. She was a bright student, passionate about art and literature, but she often felt an emptiness within her heart. One fateful night, as she walked home under the glow of the streetlights, a strange shimmer enveloped her, and she lost consciousness.
When Hannah awoke, she found herself in a lavishly decorated chamber, adorned with intricate tapestries and golden accents. Confused and disoriented, she looked into a mirror and gasped. Staring back at her was a girl with long, flowing black hair and striking features—Elara, the daughter of Duke Alistair of the Kingdom of Eldoria. But as Hannah began to sift through Elara’s memories, a wave of sadness washed over her.
Elara was not just a noble; she was a girl cursed by her own family. Her beauty was overshadowed by the stigma of her black hair, a symbol of bad luck in Eldoria. Her father, Duke Alistair, and her mother, Lady Seraphina, treated her with cold indifference. The only warmth she received came from her two older brothers, who were cruel and relentless in their bullying, and her younger sister, who was the apple of their parents' eyes.
Hannah felt Elara’s pain deeply. The memories flooded her mind: the laughter of her siblings as they tormented her, the whispers of the maids who mocked her, and the loneliness that wrapped around her like a shroud. But along with the sorrow, she also felt a spark of determination. She was not going to let Elara’s life end in despair.
