The Forgotten Princess’S Rebellion
Chapter 14
[Royal Palace – Midnight]
*Seraphina stood on the balcony, her silver hair catching the moonlight. The cold air did nothing to soothe the unease simmering in her chest. Tonight was supposed to mark the true beginning of the novel—the moment when Elias would have danced with Evelynn, setting the course of fate in motion*
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
You look lost, little princess
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*Seraphina turned, meeting his crimson eyes. That ever-present smirk lingered, but his gaze held something sharper tonight—something calculated*
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
Just contemplating how easily fate bends when it’s supposed to be unyielding
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(chuckling, stepping closer) Or perhaps, how certain men don’t like it when the rules change?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*She narrowed her eyes, catching the meaning behind his words*
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
And what did you hope to gain from that dance, Duke Ravenspire?
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(softly, tilting his head) A reaction
Before she could question him further, the air shifted
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
Step-sister ❄️
His voice was calm—too calm. A warning disguised as civility. Seraphina turned to find Cassius standing at the entrance of the balcony, golden eyes gleaming under the candlelight. His posture was relaxed, but the sharp tension in his shoulders told another story
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(low, amused) Your Highness, what a coincidence. We were just discussing fate
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(coolly, stepping closer) And yet, I see no fate worth discussing here
His gaze never left Seraphina, but the weight of his presence settled between them like an unspoken claim. Elias smirked, clearly entertained
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(mocking) You’re here for her, aren’t you?
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(voice like silk, but edged in steel) Where else would she be?
His golden eyes flickered with something darker as he reached out, fingers brushing against Seraphina’s wrist. A deliberate touch. A warning. She felt the heat of it even through his gloves
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(steady) I was simply enjoying the evening
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(quietly, leaning in) Were you?
His proximity stole the air from her lungs. It wasn’t the first time he had stood too close, but tonight, the weight of his presence felt heavier—as if he was reminding her of something she hadn’t agreed to, yet could never escape
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(softly, smirking) Careful, Your Highness. You almost sound jealous
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(coldly) Careful, Duke Ravenspire. You almost sound like a man with a death wish
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
*Elias laughed, slow and deliberate, as if tasting the jealousy in the air*
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(mocking, to Seraphina) you do have a way of making powerful men unravel, little princess
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(low, dark whisper) Unravel? No. But she belongs to the Valenhardt name—not to you
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*Seraphina stiffened. The possessiveness in his words sent a shiver down her spine. Elias, however, only seemed more amused*
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(grinning, stepping closer)Interesting, Your Highness. You speak as though you’ve already won
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(dark voice) I never lose
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*Seraphina exhaled slowly, caught between two men who refused to let her slip through their fingers. The tension in the air was suffocating, laced with unspoken threats and burning jealousy. Cassius's hold on her wrist tightened just slightly, a silent warning, while Elias watched her like a predator studying his next move*
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(softly, to Seraphina) What will you do, princess? Which monster will you let devour you first?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*Seraphina didn’t answer. But as the night deepened, she realized one thing—she was no longer just the forgotten princess*
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
She was the one rewriting fate

"She was never theirs to claim, yet they burned with the need to own her—mind, body, and soul. And gods help the man who dared to take her away."
