The Forgotten Princess’S Rebellion
chapter 19
[Seraphina’s Chambers – Late Night]
The moonlight stretched across the floor, cold and unfeeling. But the storm inside her? It was anything but cold
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(muttering to herself) This isn’t how it was supposed to happen…
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*She curled her knees to her chest, heart pounding*
Acting differently. Looking at her like she was something they wanted
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(whispering) This wasn’t supposed to be my story…
[Flashback – The Ballroom]
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(leaning in, voice like velvet over steel) You are mine, little step-sister
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(stiffening, voice barely above a whisper) You shouldn’t say things like that
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
(chuckling darkly) And yet, I do
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
"His golden eyes burned into hers, unrelenting"
Cassius Valenhardt (crown prince/ml 1)
"Her stepbrother"
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
"She should have felt disgusted. She should have pulled away"
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
"But she hadn’t
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
Because the way he looked at her…
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(gripping the folds of her dress) No
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
She couldn’t think about this"
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
(low, unwavering) Not in another man’s arms
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(blinking, stepping back) Kieran…?
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
(soft but firm) Do you even realize what you do to me?
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
"Her knight. Her protector
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
His loyalty should have been unshaken, free from… this
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
But in the moonlight, he wasn’t just her knight
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
He was something more"
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(softly, hesitantly) You’re acting strange
Kieran Valtor (knight/ ml4)
(dark smirk) Am I?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
"She should walk away. She shouldn’t notice how the moonlight made him impossibly handsome
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
But she did."
[Flashback – The Forbidden Library]
Lucien D’Arcy (sorcerer/ml 3)
(tilting his head, eyes glowing eerily) You belong to me, little dove
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(heart stopping for a second) That’s a dangerous thing to say
Lucien D’Arcy (sorcerer/ml 3)
(grinning, stepping closer) And yet, you don’t deny it
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
*Her breath hitched*
Lucien D’Arcy (sorcerer/ml 3)
"Lucien—twisted, unpredictable, mad.
And yet…"
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(swallowing hard) You’re delusional
Lucien D’Arcy (sorcerer/ml 3)
(chuckling darkly) Perhaps. But tell me, princess—if I am, why do you tremble every time I touch you?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
"He was wrong
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
…Wasn’t he?"
[Flashback – The Ballroom]
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(offering his hand, voice smooth as silk) Dance with me, princess
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(staring, confused): What?
"The Duke. The man who never danced. The one meant for Evelynn
Yet he was standing before her."
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(hesitantly placing her hand in his) Why me?
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
(smirking, voice dripping with something unreadable) Why not you?
Elias Ravenspire (grand Duke/ml 2)
"And then, he pulled her into the dance—into his world"
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
"And for the first time… she let herself get lost in it"
[Back to Present – Seraphina’s Chambers]
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(burying her face in her hands) What is happening?
Cassius’s possessiveness.
Elias’s unexpected claim.
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
(heart pounding) Why are they all looking at me like this?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
"She was supposed to be forgotten. A ghost
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
Then why did it feel like she was the very center of their world?
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
And worse…
Seraphina Valenhardt (princess/fl)
Why did their presence spark something dangerous in her own heart?"
[Somewhere in the Shadows – A Presence Unseen]
???
(low, cold) She should have remained a ghost. Forgotten. It was easier for me to claim her that way
[A slow, deliberate sigh. Gloved fingers traced the edges of an ancient tome—the original script of this world. The ink twisted and bled, shifting with every step Seraphina took, with every rule she unknowingly broke.]
???
(mocking) But no… she had to awaken. Had to shine
[The book snapped shut with a sharp crack.]
???
(darkly amused) Now they see her. Now they want her. Touch her. Covet her. Thieves, all of them, reaching for what was never theirs
[A low chuckle, bitter and sharp.]
???
(soft, almost a whisper) Still… I do love a game
[Footsteps echoed in the silent chamber, moonlight catching the edge of a smirk—one that held no warmth, only possession.]
???
(dangerous) Let them fight. Let them burn in their own desires
[A pause. His gaze flickered toward the night sky, toward the girl who unknowingly walked further into his grasp.]
???
(a promise, absolute) it won’t change a thing
???
(final whisper) In this world or the real one… you always belonged to me, Seraphina. And soon, you will remember that, too
