Just a bunch of fictional diary entries I came up with because i was bored lol ! Very Victorian-style prose and vocabulary A/N: This piece is stylistically inspired by older literary English rather than written as a strict historical or linguistic recreation of any one period.

Lady Seraphine D'Mortain was born to be ruined. Scheming villainess. Political liability. Destined for the gallows in every ending - and Samantha Louis has played them all. She knows every trap, every scandal, every deadly mistake this empire has to offer. She wrote forum posts about them. What she didn't account for was waking up inside the game itself - laced into Seraphine's corset, tangled in Seraphine's schemes, and now face to face with the one man the script said she had fifteen chapters to avoid. Lord Caius Ashford. The empire's spymaster. Cold, brilliant, and professionally suspicious of variables that don't behave as expected. Seraphine D'Mortain has never behaved less like herself. Sam has four days, a forged letter, a fiancé with a grudge, and absolutely no idea how to ride a horse. Surviving the empire's most dangerous man was never part of the plan. Neither was making him fall for the wrong villainess.
