Episode 2: Summoned by the Emperor

***
Evelina sits frozen in her massive bed, gripping the silk sheets. The words "Cursed Villainess of the Empire" echo in her head.
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
*in mind*No, no, no. This can’t be happening. I can’t be HER.
Anna watches nervously, her hands clasped together.
Anna
Anna
(whispering) "M-My lady…?"
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
(forcing a smile)Ahaha… you must be joking. A villainess? Me? That sounds ridiculous.(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Anna flinches, eyes darting to the door.
Anna
Anna
Of course, my lady! I would never joke about something so… serious… (muttering) Especially not after what happened last time…
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
*in mind*Last time? What does that mean? What kind of psycho was the original Evelina?!(ಥ﹏ಥ)
Before she can ask, a sharp knock echoes through the chamber.
Knight
Knight
(outside the door)Lady Everhart. His Majesty has summoned you.
The room falls into a heavy silence. Evelina’s stomach twists.
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
*in mind*The emperor?! Already?! But I just woke up!(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Anna rushes to help her out of bed, hands shaking as she adjusts Evelina’s nightgown.
Anna
Anna
(whispering) My lady… you must be careful. The Emperor is already displeased…
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
(nervous laugh) Oh, fantastic. What did I do?
Anna’s face goes pale.
Anna
Anna
(softly) You… threatened His Majesty’s nephew with execution… in front of the royal court.
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
(deadpan) I did what?
Another knock. This time, louder.
Knight
Knight
Lady Everhart, we must leave. Now.
Evelina swallows hard. She doesn’t even know the full extent of this villainess’s crimes, and she’s already on the emperor’s bad side.
Evelina Everhart
Evelina Everhart
*in mind*This is fine. Totally fine. I’ll just… not get executed today(ಥ﹏ಥ).
With a deep breath, she lifts her chin, straightens her back, and steps toward the door.
