Crimson Reign: The Villainess Reborn
Chapter 01 : The Execution
Chapter 01 : The Execution
The crowd roared as the guillotine blade shimmered beneath the setting sun.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria, draped in chains and regal defiance, stood tall.
The infamous villainess of the Empire was finally to be executed.
She met Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s cold eyes from the platform.
The courtiers who once fawned over her now threw stones.
Her cousin, Lady Evelyne, smiled sweetly beside Caelum—the woman who framed her for treason.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“I curse you all,” Seraphina hissed.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“I’ll return. And I’ll make you burn.”
Gasping, Seraphina awoke in silk sheets, not shackles.
Her hands were smooth again, not scarred.
FL's Maid
Her maid screamed joyfully.
FL's Maid
“You’re awake, my lady! You fainted at the ball!”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She blinked, heart pounding.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She was seventeen again.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Two years before her downfall.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
This time, she wouldn’t love the duke.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
This time, she’d make him fall for her... and then ruin him.
Chapter 2: The First Ball
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.
Chapter 03 : A Duke's Glare
Chapter 03 : A Duke’s Glare
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
Caelum’s stare was a blade.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Seraphina held his gaze, sipping wine like poison.
The ballroom faded around them.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
He approached, every step measured, his expression unreadable.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
“You’ve changed,” he said lowly.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She tilted her head. “Have I, Your Grace?”
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
His eyes narrowed. “You’re dangerous now.”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“I always was. You just never noticed.”
Before he could reply, Lady Evelyne—his arm candy and Seraphina’s snake of a cousin—appeared.
Lady Evelyne (FL's cousin)
“Seraphina! You look well... resurrected.”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
Seraphina smiled like a blade behind silk.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“And you look exactly like the girl who poisoned my perfume.”
Lady Evelyne (FL's cousin)
Evelyne’s laugh faltered.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
Caelum studied her, suspicion flickering.
Not the wide-eyed girl he once knew.
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
“Dance with me,” he said, suddenly.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She arched a brow. “Do you want to cause a scandal?”
Duke Caelum D’Aragon’s (ML)
“I want the truth.”
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
She placed her hand in his.
Lady Seraphina Valtaria (FL)
“Then you’ll have to keep up, Duke.”
As the waltz began, their war of hearts had officially started.
