Unloved Once, Claimed Forever
Prologue
They said a soul only breaks once.
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
*Slap her*
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
How dare you try to hurt your sister? ❄️
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
It seems you've forgotten your place ❄️
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
*Signals maid* Lock her in her room, and she is to get nothing to eat or drink for 3 days ❄️
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
You Bi*ch *Beating her with belt*
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
Seducing your sister's lover, Such a Wh*re
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER *Shouts*
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
I wish you had died with her
Cassian La Valemont / Second Prince
I never loved you *cold eyes*
Cassian La Valemont / Second Prince
I loved Lyssandra
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
You know, if you had just died quietly earlier, things wouldn’t have become so troublesome. *Smirks*
...
My Daughter *Crying in happiness*
...
My precious child. *Whispered*
...
*Holds her waist* You are only mine *Dark voice*
...
I will never let you leave me *Possessive*
...
Little Moon *Holds her tightly*
They said she was cherished.
They said she was precious.
Yet when hands reached for her too suddenly, her body stiffened. When voices rose, she trembled. When food was placed before her, she hid pieces in her sleeves without realizing.
At night, she whispered apologies to the dark.
“I’ll be good,” she murmured. “Please don’t throw me away.”
She had died unloved once.
This time—Love would be a cage made of devotion, a blade turned outward, a darkness gentle only to her.
And the world would learn one simple rule: "Touch her—and die."

Episode 1
ELDORIA is a continent ruled by bloodline hierarchy, where: Nobles are law, Reputation is currency, Women are assets and Love is a weakness unless backed by power.
Magic in Eldoria is not common and never equal. It is inherited, emotionally reactive, and politically weaponized.
Only about 30% of nobles manifest magic. Commoners almost never do.
Magic is divided into 5 recognized branches and 2 forbidden branches.
I- ELEMENTAL MAGIC (MOST COMMON)
Types:
• Fire
• Water
• Wind
• Earth
• Ice
• Lightning (rare)
Traits:
• One element only
• Power tied to stamina
• Overuse causes physical collapse
:• Elemental magic is respected but disposable.
Types:
• Healing
• Regeneration
• Purification
• Physical enhancement
Traits:
• Emotionally exhausting
• Shortens lifespan if abused
• Cannot heal soul damage
III- MENTAL MAGIC (FEARED)
Types:
• Illusion
• Memory alteration
• Mind reading (illegal)
• Emotional influence
Traits:
• Subtle
• Hard to detect
• Morally condemned
IV- CONTRACT MAGIC (ANCIENT)
A human forms a pact with a spirit or lesser entity.
Contracts are:
• Legally binding
• Life-linked
• Often hereditary
Breaking a contract results in:
• Madness
• Death
• Possession
V- BLOODLINE MAGIC (ROYAL)
Traits:
• Unique to families
• Cannot be copied
• Activates only under threat
For Example:
• Absolute authority over soldiers
• Domain control (castle, land)
• Execution magic
These magics are erased from records in Eldoria
VI- BOND MAGIC (OBSESSION MAGIC)
How It Forms:
• Trauma-based imprinting
• Emotional recognition
• Can occur without consent
Effects:
• One person becomes the axis
• The other becomes the guardian
• Pain to the axis = agony to the guardian
Symptoms:
• Heightened aggression toward threats
• Extreme protectiveness
• Emotional fixation
• Loss of moral restraint
VII- NECROMANTIC ECHO MAGIC (MYTHIC)
Not raising the dead.
But:
• Hearing echoes of souls
• Binding memories
• Soul persistence
It is believed to be extinct, but her reincarnation suggests otherwise.
Since it's a magical world, mythical creatures and spirits also exist but are rare and territorial.
SHADOW WOLVES
• Native to forests
• Bond to one master only
• Kill on emotional command
DRAKES (LESSER DRAGONS)
• Guard ancient ruins
• Feed on magic
• Neutral unless provoked
MOON SPIRITS
• Non-corporeal
• Appear during eclipses
• Observe bond formations
WRAITHS
• Born from injustice
• Attach to places of execution
• Feed on regret
Lesser Spirits
• Wind whispers
• Water reflections
• Candle flickers
They are mostly harmless.
Ancient Entities
• Older than kingdoms
• Drawn to emotional extremes
• Intervene rarely
FL First Life — the place of suffering
• It is Cold, rigid, aristocratic
• Heavy emphasis on lineage purity
• Illegitimate or “tainted” children are treated as stains
• Public morality, private cruelty
Valemont values:
• Appearances over truth
• Silence over justice
• Power over innocence
It suppresses all records of Forbidden magic.

Valencrest County — Main Estate
The dining hall smells of warm bread and roasted meat. Silver cutlery clinks softly against porcelain.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
...
She stands near the far wall, half-hidden behind a marble pillar. Her dress is old—once noble, now faded and mended too many times. Her hair hangs loose and tangled. No maid bothered today.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
Lyssandra, eat properly. You’ll grow weak
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
I will, Father. I’m just not very hungry today. *Smile Sweetly*
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
Such a delicate child… unlike some people who lack restraint. *Eyes flick briefly toward the corner*
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
I-I am sorry *low voice*
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
*Looks at Elara*
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
*Doesn't even glance*
This is something quite regular in the county
The servants pretend she isn’t there. They were instructed not to acknowledge her unless ordered.
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
Mother, may I leave the vegetables? They upset my stomach.
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
Of course, my dear. *Smiles at her*
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
*Pushes the plate aside*
Elara's finger twitch. Not towards the meat, not towards the bread but towards the vegetables.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(If they don’t eat it… maybe…)
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
Elara.
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
*Looks at her*
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
Yes, Madam *Straightens*
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
You’ll eat after we’re finished.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
Yes.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(I haven't eaten anything since yesterday)
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(Finally I'll have something to eat)
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
*In her own thoughts*
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
She really does stand there like a shadow, doesn’t she?
Rowena Valencrest / Countess(FL Stepmom)
*Laughs quietly*
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
Ignore it. Don’t ruin your appetite.
The word "it" sinks deeper than hunger.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(I shouldn’t take up space.)
Minutes pass. The food disappears, and the laughter continues.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(Just wait.)
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(If I wait long enough, I’ll be allowed.)
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
*Stands*
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
I’m finished.
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
Very well.
Alaric Valencrest / FL Father
Clean up after *To Elara*
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
Yes.
They all leave one by one
Elara approaches the table only after everyone is gone.
She eats quickly. Quietly.
Cold food. Scraps. Vegetables left behind.
Elara Valencrest / FL (Past Life)
(At least today, there was something.)
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
*Looking at her from above with eyes filled with hatred*
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
(Why doesn't she die already)
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
(This bi*ch)
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
(I hate her)
Lyssandra Valencrest / FL Stepsister
(If she doesn't die herself then I'll kill her) *Smirks*
