The Throne Is Mine to Claim

The Fall

Isabella's room

The grand yet cold room reflected the emptiness in Isabella’s life. She sat by the window, as the moonlight cast a soft glow on her face as she stared out.

👆 Isabella's gown

Elara (fl maid)

If I have to stitch one more dress for you to wear to a family dinner where no one speaks to you, I might just retire early.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

That would be a tragedy, Elara. Who else would complain at me so lovingly?

Elara (fl maid)

Oh, I’m sure Evelyn or Selena could fill the role. They’re so kind and thoughtful, after all.

The air suddenly got tense as Isabella and Elara gave each other sarcastic looks

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Kind and thoughtful? Evelyn would poison your tea, and Selena would help her pick the herbs.

Elara (fl maid)

And don’t forget—they’d smile sweetly while doing it 🙄.

The tense mood turned lighter in a flash but was disturbed by a knock on the door

Random maid

Lady Evelyn requests your presence in the garden, my lady. She says it’s urgent.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Urgent? Evelyn’s idea of urgency is a broken nail.

Elara (fl maid)

Do you really think you should go? The last time she called you “urgent,” she made you watch her practice her violin. For hours. (whispers to Isabella)

Isabella Virelli (fl)

I survived that. I’m sure I can survive whatever this is.

Isabella stood up smoothing her dress. This time around Isabella was confident that she would at least say something or insult her on Evelyn's face but little did she know that this night would be full is surprises.

At the garden

The garden was weirdly silent. The sound of owls and the sound of crickets felt like they had suddenly disappeared. Evelyn stood next to the fountain as she stared at Isabella with a grin. No, a murderous grin...

Isabella Virelli (fl)

You rang, dearest sister?

Evelyn (fl step sis)

Oh, Isabella. Always so dramatic. I just wanted to talk.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Talk? At midnight? How very considerate of you.

It hadn't even been a minute before the cover beneath the sweet smile she gave to Isabella soon faltered and faded to gray.

Evelyn (fl step sis)

You’ve always been a thorn in my side, Isabella. A useless, pathetic little thorn. But now... I’m done tolerating you.

The silence seeped in for a few seconds before Isabella. That moment she forgot how to blink not because she didn't want to but because she couldn't. Before she even realized she was falling into the fountain at the push of Evelyn's hand

That was the night. Her last night. That's what she thought. A tear seeped through Isabella's eyes falling on to the fountain leaving a wave.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

*gasp*

Isabella Virelli (fl)

(Where am I. Is this heaven? No no, this is my precious room)

Isabella Virelli (fl)

I was... I was dead.

Isabella's chain of thoughts of why she was reincarnated were broken by the loud slam of the door. Isabella looked up to see Elara standing with a tray

Elara (fl maid)

Good morning, my lady! Did you sleep well?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Elara, what day is it?

Elara (fl maid)

Uh... the 4th of Bloommonth? Why?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Seven months ago. It’s seven months ago.

Elara (fl maid)

Are you feeling alright? Should I fetch a healer?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

No. No healer.

Isabella had realized she now had a chance. A chance better than no other. A chance to begin her long awaited revenge. She flung out of the bed her expression fierce...

Isabella Virelli (fl)

(I’ve been given a second chance.)

Elara (fl maid)

A second chance at what?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

At making Evelyn and Selena regret every single thing they’ve ever done to me.

Elara (fl maid)

Ah, revenge. That explains the crazy look in your eyes.

Elara (fl maid)

(momma, I'm scared)

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Oh, Elara. You’ve seen nothing yet.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

I'm a lama

Helli

I'm a lama

I'm a lama

I'm a lama

Anyways please support me

I'm a lama

Byee

A second Chance

Isabella suddenly woke up with a jolt. The soft wind from the window blew the curtains, while the fresh roses that lay next to her bed smelled like heaven was just next for. Isabella then realized that she was back in her room

Isabella Virelli (fl)

I can’t be dead. I was definitely dead. No, wait... if I’m dead, who did my makeup so well in the afterlife?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Okay, so I’m alive. Again. This time, I’ll do things right... starting with no more near-death experiences.

Suddenly Elara opens the door completely unaware that Isabella is going through ever single Mental problem there is in the world...

Elara (fl maid)

Good morning! I’ve got your favorite breakfast—sweet rolls and tea. I also fixed your gown for today’s meeting with—

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Elara. What day is it?

Elara (fl maid)

Uh, the 4th of Bloommonth. Are you feeling alright, my lady? You look... different.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

The 4th of Bloommonth? No way. This is seven months before I die!

Elara (fl maid)

Seven months before... you die?

Elara (fl maid)

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Yup. Seven months before my delightful sister pushes me into a fountain to drown me. How charming.

Elara (fl maid)

Sounds like a lovely family outing. Should I pack snacks?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Elara (fl maid)

Just checking 😅 So, what’s the plan? You’re alive again, so you have... some time?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

You bet I do. This time, I’m not going to be anyone’s victim. First step: take back control before they even realize I’m not the same person anymore.

Elara (fl maid)

Should I prepare a ‘Surprise! I’m Back from the Dead’ party, or is it too early for that?

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Later. For now, I need to figure out what they’re planning. But first... I need to find out why my stepsister is so obsessed with ruining my life. I mean, who needs that kind of energy?

Elara (fl maid)

Right, because you have better things to do, like not getting murdered.

Isabella Virelli (fl)

Exactly
