Crown of Second Chances episode 3.

episode 3.

Theodore stands by the grand window of his chambers, his back to the door as Elysia enters. She hesitates, her steps tentative, her hands twisting nervously.

Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)

your majesty

Her voice trembles slightly, catching Theodore's attention. He turns, his expression unreadable.

Theodore Allesandro ( villain's father)

You wish to speak with me, my queen? Strange, considering how little you cared for my presence before.❄️

Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)

(Winces at the coldness in his tone, but steps closer.) I deserve your disdain, and perhaps more. But I beg you to hear me.

Theodore Allesandro ( villain's father)

(Leaning casually against the window frame, he gestures for her to continue.) Speak, then. I do not have all day to entertain apologies that lack sincerity.❄️

Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)

(Swallows hard, her voice steady despite the vulnerability in her eyes.) I have wronged you, your majesty. I have been cruel, dismissive, and blind to the pain I caused. I lashed out, not because of who you are, but because of my own fears. And for that, I am truly sorry.

Theodore Allesandro ( villain's father)

(His gaze narrows, as if searching her face for falsehoods.) Sorry? You expect me to believe that after years of your venomous remarks, you’ve suddenly found your conscience.❄️

Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)

(Steps closer, her voice firm now.) Yes. Because it is the truth. I see now the weight you carry, the burdens you have borne alone. I was too blind to see it before, but I understand now. And I wish to ease that burden, if you will allow me.

Theodore stares at her, his expression unreadable. For a moment, silence stretches between them like a drawn bowstring

Theodore Allesandro ( villain's father)

(Finally speaks, his tone cold but laced with something softer—curiosity, perhaps.) And what brought about this miraculous transformation, my queen? Do you hope to gain my favor? To secure your position?❄️

Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)

(Shakes her head, her voice barely a whisper.) No. I seek nothing but to mend what I have broken. For you. For... our kingdom.

Theodore Allesandro ( villain's father)

(His gaze softens for a fleeting moment before he masks it with indifference.) Your words are well-crafted, but words mean little to me. If you wish to prove yourself, do so through action. Until then, I have no reason to trust this... new Elysia.❄️

Elysia Theodore Allesandro (fl)

(Bows her head, accepting his dismissal with grace.) As you wish, Your Majesty. I will prove it, not through words but through deeds.

Theodore turns back to the window as Elysia quietly leaves. For the first time in years, he feels something stir—something he cannot quite name. Genuine, yes. But could he dare to hope?
