Description: [edit] [history]

Ophelia lived. Then she died.

Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.

A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And she loves it.

Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:

"

"You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton's estate."

"Thank you, milady!"

"But, since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you'll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go."

"But that's impossible! You know we can't pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!"

The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment's notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips. It was satisfying, so satisfying.

"I don't recall giving you permission to address me so casually." My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions. "You've raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won't be tested any further."

"

Please read the Author's Note before digging into the story, it is very short.
