Claiming What's Rightfully Mine!
The fall of Eryndis Vaeloria
The Vaeloria estate stood tall and elegant, a sight that once captured hearts but now felt like a heap of stone to Eryndis. The gates groaned with every gust of wind, almost as if they too were tired of the drama.
Eryndis Vaeloria, the rightful heir to the Vaeloria family. All had gone well since she was born, and now she was holding her suitcase in one hand and her dignity in the other.
Her long blue gown, which she had worn thinking today would be the happiest day in her life, was now crumpled with mud that she didn’t bother to clean
Eryndis thought the dress was a little too "look at me." She sighed and thought, if anyone had warned her about being kicked out of her loving family, she might have worn something more like "I'm going to cry in the corner."
Eryndis walked into her father's study, trying not to trip over her long gown.
Eryndis Vaeloria
Father! What in the seven kingdoms is going on here?
Magnuson Vaeloria
Ah, yes. You're just in time. I was going to call you down, but it seems you're here. The council has reached a decision.
Eryndis Vaeloria
What decision? Why do I feel like this decision is taking me to prison... or worse, to the kitchen!
Magnuson Vaeloria
Stop being dramatic! The truth is simple, Eryndis. You’re... how do I put this delicately? Not the true heir.
Eryndis Vaeloria
Excuse me?
Magnuson Vaeloria
You’re an imposter. Your mother—bless her heart—wasn’t noble. And neither are you. Turns out, you were born from some... affair.
Eryndis could hardly contain her rage. Her dear father had just thrown garbage at her face right before her big day, which was no longer hers.
Eryndis Vaeloria
You can't be serious! I’ve spent my whole life here, and now you're telling me I'm not even related to you?
Selvianne Morleigh
Oh, dear sister. It’s such a shame, really. But I suppose it’s better this way. You're... well, a mistake after all.
Eryndis clenched her fists.
Magnuson Vaeloria
It’s true, Eryndis. The council has confirmed it. The evidence is overwhelming. I’m sorry, but you have no claim to the estate.
Eryndis Vaeloria
Wait. So that means everything I’ve ever known? Poof, gone?
Magnuson Vaeloria
Precisely!
Eryndis Vaeloria
What a joke. No, seriously, what a joke. Well, I guess I’ll just ‘poof’ myself out of here then.
In a fit of rage, Eryndis grabbed her father's beloved gift from her stepmother and smashed it on the floor before storming out.
I'm a lama
but guess what...
