Chapter 02 : The First Ball
The ballroom glittered with chandeliers and envy.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Seraphina descended the grand staircase, emerald gown clinging to her curves like sin.
Whispers followed her like shadows—spoiled, wicked, dangerous.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She welcomed them all. Let them think she was still the same naive girl.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She wasn't.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Not anymore.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
From across the room, she spotted him—Duke Caelum D’Aragon. Tall. Broad.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
His midnight-blue uniform gleamed with medals.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
He hadn’t looked at her yet.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Good.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She turned her attention instead to Lord Lysander Valen, Caelum’s best friend.
Lord Lysander Valen (ML's best friend)
Blonde. Wicked smile. Dangerous in a different way.
Lord Lysander Valen (ML's best friend)
“My lady,” he said, taking her gloved hand.
Lord Lysander Valen (ML's best friend)
“Daring color. Planning to seduce or slay?”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“Can’t I do both?” she purred.
Lord Lysander Valen (ML's best friend)
He grinned.
Lord Lysander Valen (ML's best friend)
Behind him, Caelum turned—eyes locking with hers.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
A flicker of surprise. Recognition. And something else.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She smiled sweetly. This time, she'd write her own ending.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Let the game begin.
