The Serpentine's Legacy

"The Wicked Woman of Archambeau..."
"The Stone-hearted Serpentine..."
"The Forsaken Princess..."

To whomever are these nicknames referring to? Well it is none other than me, Cosette Anneliese van Bernard, the only daughter of House Bernard.

In a world where women were valued as inferior and pathetic, it is no wonder that we are the ones most involved in scandals. Men get away easily due to their wealth and status, but it is always women who are left unprotected by the justice system. They twist the truth to serve their own desires, leaving us entangled in webs of lies, while rumors suffocate the innocent.

But not this time. This time, I will be the voice for women.

If they insist on calling me a villainess, a serpent, then I will embody it fully. I will shed this skin of innocence and rise above their expectations. I will be ruthless when necessary, cunning where they least expect it. They've called me wicked for too long-now they will see what it means to be feared.
