This is a rewrite of my "very old Tord x reader" which I wrote when I was twelve. I don't exactly hold any kind of feelings towards the character, but I thought this would be a fun thing to do.
The pronouns I'll be using for the reader are she/her, and occasionally I'll throw in a they/them..If these bother you, feel free to imagine the story with your preferred pronouns.
I believe you know what you're getting yourself into, but I'll just put a list of trigger warnings further ahead;
Suicidal thoughts,
Psychotic behaviour,
Narcissistic behaviour,
Abuse,
Mentions and use of narcotics, tobacco and alcohol,
As well as use of weapons,
Death,
Brainwash...
More will be added if needed.
She was meant to die quietly.
Poisoned, discarded, and forgotten by the empire that once adored her, the spoiled princess should have faded into history. Instead, she woke up different-sharper, colder, and unwilling to beg for affection ever again.
Surrounded by four S-rank beastmates she once humiliated, and watched by a court that senses something has changed, Lily steps back into power with a new understanding: this world does not reward innocence.
In a realm of beasts, politics are deadlier than claws, loyalty must be earned twice, and love is never free.
And this time, she does not intend to be the one destroyed.
