Ooops! I Became The Villain's Mom
The Moonlit pavilion
Your Author
Welcome Back 🔙😉
[A lone pavilion stands at the edge of the imperial gardens, bathed in soft silver light from the full moon. The night is silent, save for the whisper of leaves rustling in the wind.] 🌬️
[Evelyn walks through the archway, her purple eyes gleaming under the moonlight. She is alone, as requested—but her senses remain sharp, her hidden dagger strapped to her thigh.]
[A figure stands waiting, draped in dark navy with gold embroidery. He leans against a marble column, one hand lazily swirling a glass of scarlet wine.]
[His golden-blond hair is slightly tousled, his expression one of bored amusement. But his eyes—piercing blue-green—watch her with an unreadable glint.]
Lord Cedric Beaumont
(smirking): “You’re punctual. I like that.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[ folds her arms.]

“I don’t have time for games, Lord Beaumont. Why am I here?”
Lord Cedric Beaumont
[chuckles, stepping closer. There’s something dangerously elegant about him, as if he dances at the edge of a blade and enjoys it.]
Lord Cedric Beaumont
(lightly): “Straight to the point. No wonder you’ve caused such a stir in the capital.”
[Evelyn says nothing, merely watching. He takes a deliberate sip of wine before speaking again.]
Lord Cedric Beaumont
“I wanted to meet the woman who has nobles trembling and the imperial court scrambling. Tell me, Duchess—do you know how many people want you dead?”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[doesn’t flinch.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(calmly): “I lost count.”
Lord Cedric Beaumont
[ laughs softly, his eyes glinting with intrigue.]
Lord Cedric Beaumont
“And yet, you walk into a secluded meeting without guards. Either you’re reckless… or confident.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“Why not both?”
Lord Cedric Beaumont
[smiles at that, as if pleased by her response.]
Lord Cedric Beaumont
“Good. Because I have an offer for you.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[raises a brow, waiting.]
[Cedric swirls his wine once more before setting the glass down on a marble table. Then, with slow purpose, he steps closer—too close. But Evelyn doesn’t move.]
Lord Cedric Beaumont
(softly): “An alliance, Duchess.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[ finally smirks.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“And why would I need an alliance with you?”
Lord Cedric Beaumont
“Because if you don’t take my hand…” (leans in, voice almost a whisper) “…someone else will. And that will be your downfall.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[ holds his gaze, feeling the weight of his words settle like a storm on the horizon.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[An alliance with Lord Cedric Beaumont? Dangerous. Unpredictable. But perhaps… necessary.]
[The wind shifts, carrying the faint scent of jasmine and danger.]
