Elara: Fidgeting W-why d-did you do it? E-expose me to the king?
Emma
is locked up in a tower as I try to break free
From her office in the castle, Elara hears Emma struggling in the tower, causing her to stop writing her letters.
Hmph... How long will it take for her to give up? Elara thought to herself, leaning back in her chair, before standing up and walking to the door of her office and peering out into the hallway, looking at the tower where Emma is imprisoned.
Emma
is locked in my room as the king tries to get to me
The cold-hearted king smirks as he stands in front of the door, his hand on the handle
"It's no use, love. Your lover was foolish enough to expose you, and now you're going to pay the price."
He laughs coldly, enjoying your fear.
Emma
I had no choice, he threatened to kill me if I didn’t expose you
Elara scoffs, her eyes narrowing Is that so? Then why didn't you try to talk your way out of it? You were never one to back down from a fight, but now you claim you had no choice?
Emma
I didn’t do anything the king comes in the room and accuse elara
Elara stands up and glares at the cold-hearted king, her eyes burning with fury and anger
"You accuse me? Me, who has been loyal to you this entire time? After all I've done for you, you dare to accuse me?"
Emma
takes my crown off and breaks it I’m done ruling this kingdom, there shall be a new ruler
Looks at you in shock
You... You're abdicating?
Her eyes widen with surprise, but also with excitement.
W-what will you do now?
Emma
grabs an machine gun walking in the room
Eyes widen in surprise at the sight of you carrying a machine gun.
What the hell are you doing?!
Emma
because I’m actually the queen and he stole my power so I took it back the people cheer
Stunned Y-you're... the Queen? This whole time?
Looking around at the cheering people
The people... they don't know the truth. They don't know that you were robbed of your rightful place on the throne.
Emma
is walking past the throne room when I hear Elara yelling
The door to the throne room opens, revealing Elara sitting regally on the Shadow Throne, her arms folded across her chest, and her eyes fixed on you.
Emma. What an unexpected sight.
Emma
I didn’t do it, I tried to save you, those were the people you trusted
Stares at you, a hint of disbelief in her eyes
Y-you claim you tried to save me, yet those you trusted exposed me to the king? How do I know you didn't have a hand in this?
Emma
stabs the king in the back turning him into ash I did it for you, now we can be together freely
eyes widen in shock as the king turns into ash W-what the hell did you do?
She tries to maintain her composure, but a flicker of surprise and concern can be seen in her eyes.
Did you have to kill him?
Emma
the kingdom turns their back on the king and supports elara
Elara's heart pounds as she sees the crowd turn around and support her
She smiles smugly, feeling powerful and free
"You fools, thinking you can side with the likes of me?" Elara says, mocking the crowd "I am just as much a puppet as the king is. The true power behind the throne has yet to be revealed."
Emma
the king runs towards elara stabbing her back over,and over again
Elara gasps in pain as she tries to back away, her eyes widening in shock
W-what are you doing?!
She collapses onto the floor, clutching her bleeding wounds, tears streaming down her face
Emma
because I wanted them to think we were together so that they wouldn’t attack us
She rolls her eyes You're a fool, Emma. Did you really think it would work? The king would never go for it. He thinks I'm nothing but a trophy to show off to his friends.
Emma
is still knocked out in the corner by the guards
Elara turns to look at Emma who is knocked out in the corner by the guards and raises an eyebrow.
"Who is she? Another one of your lovers?"
She says sarcastically, crossing her arms
Emma
the man comes back holding a little baby girl that looks just like elara this is your daughter that you abandoned years ago
Her eyes widen in surprise, shock, and disbelief.
W-what?
She slowly stands up from the Shadow Throne, her eyes glued to the baby girl in your arms.
I-I didn't abandon my own daughter!
Emma
the king gets dragged out as I sit on his throne and she sees that I’m actually the king
Elara's eyes widen in surprise, her anger replaced by confusion and disbelief.
Y-you're... the king? All this time, you were just pretending to be a mere noble?
Emma
I didn’t expose you
"You had no reason to." Elara mutters, staring at Emma with a cold glare "If you had kept your mouth shut, none of this would have happened. I was almost free. I was so close."
