The Forgotten Princess’S Rebellion
Chapter 15
[Crown Prince’s Study – Midnight]
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
*Cassius sat in the dim glow of candlelight, golden eyes fixated on the reports sprawled before him. The ink had long dried, yet his fingers tightened around the parchment*
Cassius Shadow Guard
(kneeling) She met the Duke again, Your Highness. Alone.
The words were unnecessary—Cassius already knew. He had watched. He had seen her, in Elias’s arms, twirling under the chandeliers, her silver hair catching the light like woven moonlight. And she had smiled
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(voice sharp as a blade) I should have had his head the moment he laid eyes on her
Cassius Shadow Guard
(carefully) Shall I… arrange something?
A long pause. The air turned suffocating
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(softly, darkly) Not yet. He will know soon enough that touching what’s mine has consequences
His fingers loosened, and the parchment slipped from his grip. He exhaled, tilting his head back, jaw clenched. The ballroom, the dance, her laughter—he would burn it all if it meant keeping her where she belonged.
[Seraphina’s Chambers – The Dead of Night]
A breeze rustled through the open balcony doors, but Seraphina barely noticed. Her thoughts were still tangled in the night’s events. Elias’s smirk, the way his fingers had lingered on her waist—she should have been unnerved. Yet… she wasn’t
Was she forgetting the plot? Or was the plot forgetting her?
A soft knock at her door startled her. No, not a knock. A presence
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(sharply) Who’s there?
A shadow moved at the edge of her vision before stepping into the moonlight
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
(calm, yet unreadable) You should be more cautious, princess. What if it had been someone else?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*Her pulse steadied at the sight of him. Kieran—her ever-loyal knight. And yet, something was different tonight. His gray eyes held something else, something heavier*
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(lightly) Are you here to scold me like a proper knight should?
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
(stepping closer, voice low) I am here to remind you of your place
She blinked, taken aback by the intensity of his words. Her place?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(tilting her head) And where, pray tell, do you think my place is?
Kieran was close now. Too close. His gaze flickered to her lips before meeting her eyes again
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
(soft, but unwavering and pressed every word) Not in another man’s arms
The air between them crackled, charged with something unspoken, something dangerous. Seraphina parted her lips, but no words came
Because she had seen the same look before—earlier that night. In Cassius’s eyes. In Elias’s smirk. And now, in Kieran’s unwavering stare
The realization hit her like a storm
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
They were not just watching her anymore
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
They were hunting

"She was no longer just a forgotten princess—she was a prize in a game played by monsters. And monsters do not share."
