The prophecy of a blind heiress

MISERY

As the days passed, Lady Victoria's plan unfolded with precision. She announced her pregnancy, and the kingdom rejoiced at the prospect of a new heir. King Darra, besotted with his new wife, failed to notice the subtle changes in her behavior, the calculating glint in her eye.

Meanwhile, Queen Leah grew weaker, her heart heavy with grief and sorrow. She knew she was losing her husband, her daughter and her place in the kingdom. Lady Victoria visited her often, whispering sweet nothings, offering comfort, but secretly administering a slow-acting poison.

The blind princess , sensing her mother's distress, grew more isolated, her only solace the quite moments she spent with her loyal nurse. But even that comfort was soon to be taken away.

Duke Leoswood, growing impatient, began to make his move. He started to secretly gather support among the nobles, whispering of Lady Victoria's divine right to rule and of the need for a strong, capable leader while Lady Victoria, her eyes fixed on the throne, smiled to herself, knowing that soon, very soon, she would be the one wearing the crown.

As the poison coursed through Queen Leah's veins, her once - sharp mind began to unravel like a tapestry torn apart by unseen hands. Her thoughts grew cloudy, her memories fragmented, and her grip on reality tenuous. Lady Victoria's visits became more frequent, her smile sweeter and her words dripping with honeyed venom.

The queen's chamber, once a sanctuary of warmth and love, transformed into a prison of despair. Shadows danced on the walls, mocking her, as Lady Victoria's whispers echoed in her mind. 'You're weak, Leah and a failure. Your daughter is nothing but a curse.'

Meanwhile, the blind princess, sensing her mother's anguish, raged against the darkness that had consumed her world. Her screams shattered the palace windows, her tears flooding the stone floors. Her loyal nurse, her only solace, was powerless to stop the descent into madness.

Weeks had passed by so quickly, the nobles gathered to witness the queen's downfall. Duke Leoswood's eyes gleamed with triumph, he had played the game of thrones with masterful precision, and now, the prize was within his grasp. The document, penned in blood and deceit lay on the King's desk, waiting for his signature. Lady Victoria's fingers, soft as silk, guided his hand, as he unwittingly sealed his own fate and that of his daughter.

The queen's final breath escaped her lips, a whispered warning, lost in the darkness. The blind princess, her heart shattered and her world reduced to ashes, was left to face the monster who had destroyed her family.

As weeks passed by, the princess' suspicion of lady Victoria as one of the people behind her mother's death increased and she was determined to expose her evil doings. Only seven years old but she was fueled by a child's fierce determination and a sense of justice. She knew that something was terribly wrong, that her mother's death was no accident, and that lady Victoria's actions were sinister.

With the help of her loyal nurse and a mysterious ally, the princess began to uncover the truth. She learned to navigate the dark corridors of the palace, using her other senses to evade detection. As she gather evidence, the princess' small voice grew stronger, her resolve firmer. She knew she had to expose Lady Victoria's treachery , no matter the danger.

But Lady Victoria would stop at nothing to maintain her grip on power. She ordered her guards to keep a closer watch on the princess, to prevent her from revealing the truth. The princess, however, was not one to be underestimated. She had a child's cunning and a fierce determination to clear her mother's name and reclaim her rightful place on the throne.
