From the day she was born, Emerald has been told she's the most beautiful girl in all the world
Being an only child, and born after years of waiting for a baby, she was spoiled rotten by a vain couple
Her status as princess and heir to the throne of Galindar only made the matter worse
Her parents were decent enough monarchs and they had good hearts, but they never said no to her, no matter how ridiculous her demands, so she grew to be extremely vain and selfish
When an enchantress came one day to the palace asking for help, Emerald rebuffed her in the rudest of ways
As punishment the enchantress condemned her to a physical appearance of a monster as ugly as her inside, and this curse would only be lifted wen she learned to be a real princess, good, benevolent and humble
Years have gone by, with Emerald in isolation with no apparent help or hope
Everyone that set eyes on her fled raving about monsters
She became angry and bitter
Then came a visitor..

The Emperor's Regret
Love is a fragile thing. It can be nurtured, like a delicate flower in spring, blossoming under warmth and care. Or it can be neglected, left to wither under the weight of indifference until nothing remains but dust and regret. This is the story of a love that was once whole, then broken, then lost entirely. A love that burned brightly in the heart of a Queen-so deeply, so fiercely, that it consumed her. And a love that the Emperor never recognized until it was too late. She loved him. More than she should have. More than he deserved. She had given him her loyalty, her devotion, her very soul. And in return, he had given her nothing. Not his trust. Not his protection. Not even his mercy. Her love for him had died long before her body did. If fate ever gave her another chance, she would never love him again. But fate is cruel. Death was not the end. She would return, reborn from the ashes of her suffering. Not as the woman who once waited for his love. Not as the Queen who had begged for his favor. But as someone who would never waste another moment longing for him. This time, it would be his turn to burn.
