The Forgotten Princess’S Rebellion
Chapter 52
(The grand hall is a dazzling spectacle of light and opulence, filled with the scent of expensive perfumes and the hum of whispered gossip. Tonight, the empire’s nobility gathers not just for a celebration, but for a declaration—one that will shift the power dynamics of the court.)
(And then, the Emperor speaks.)
Hadrian Valenhardt (Emperor/fl step-dad)
(calm, commanding) Tonight, we welcome back Princess Seraphina Valenhardt
(A ripple of applause, perfectly polite and painfully empty. Seraphina stands among the gathered nobles, her silver hair glistening under the golden chandeliers. Her face remains impassive—unshaken, unreadable. But the Emperor’s next words strike like a blade.)
