Chapter 11: 100th Times the Charm reboot kinda

Lauren Fantasy 20 Aug 2026

I had always been admired, I have known this since birth, I had a beauty unknown to any other creature in the entirety of Florina. My hair was as shiny as a diamond, and as blue as the sky on a perfect day, my flawless waves that would soon flow down to my waist, gave the illusion of ripples in a flowing stream. My eyes were an inhuman shade of grey that would trap you inside if you looked for too long. whilst my nose was pointed to perfection, But like every person I had my flaws. I grew up in the castle in the capital of the kingdom Florina, my parents were the rulers of the kingdom. As their only daughter they spoiled me, with gifts and as many dresses to make a common child pass out. This caused me to take many things for granted, and grow up to be quite a brat. Of course that didn't matter in my first life, for I did not know the brutalness of the world around me. Though I wish I did. Well there's nothing I can do about it now, all I can do is think back.

“Scarlet!” yelled prince Kyle, who was Scarlet's soon to be husband.

“Im coming” replied Scarlett as she walked to the throneroom of christine palace with grace in every step as though she was walking on air. She stepped into the throneroom wondering what was going on

“Oh there you are Scarlett.” said prince kyle voice booming

“I'm sure, you're wondering why I called you here,” he took a deep breath” I want to call off our engagement.”

“WHAT!” Scarlet shrieked

“What you can't do this, we have been engaged since we were eight, is that even allowed, how could yo…”

But before she could continue she was cut off

“I know you must be quite confused but this is very much necessary”

“Confused! I'm more than confused!”

“Yes i’m sure you are, Im also sure that you would want to know the reasoning behind this decision. well the thing is, your a horrible person who knows nothing of the world and has not an ounce of kindness in her heart”

What, what does he mean, though Scarlet, has he not seen my beauty, he should be grateful he even gets to breathe the same air as me.

“I would also like to inform you that I have found a new wife, one who may not have beauty like yours but a heart of gold”

“What the hell are you going on about! How could she compare to me!” Scarlett screamed voice echoing throughout the halls

Kyle just sat there, face cold, not speaking a word. He moved his fingers slightly directing the guards to do something. Three guards walked out of the room for a minute, when they returned a girl followed behind them. Though she was not nearly as beautiful as Scarlett she had a strange aura to her, her smile. Her smile was so sweet and innocent looking that it felt like she was lighting up the entire room. She looked like a blazing fire lighting up a dark forest, or an ember in a small fireplace, she shone like an angel.

The girl walked up to the throne where prince kyle sat then she planted herself next to him, on the throne that was meant for Scarlet.

“Hello miss,” she said in the sweetest voice Scarlet ever heard. “I’m Serenity, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Scarlet bit her lip holding in the rage she felt in that moment, how could this commoner win over her. Serenity was a petite girl, she had plain black hair that just touched her shoulders, and had a small strand of her hair was braided just till it reached the back of her head. She was pale and wore a sparkling, silver, silken gown with silver heels and frilled socks.

“Now as we have been speaking the maids have packed up your things for you,” said the prince before yelling out to the head maid “Lilith!”

Lilith came running into the room holding three very heavy and expensive bags.

“Now your kingdom is not far away, in fact its right next to Christine so you will be sent back home on foot”

“Oh and Lilith”

Lilith pulled a letter out of her pocket and handed it to Scarlett.

“This letter is for your parents telling them everything that we have discussed these past minutes”

Scarlet simply stood there for a minute processing everything that had just happened, that's when something came over her, complete and utter rage.

“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!” her voice could be heard even beyond the palace

“You dare try to harm the prince of Christine, I gave you a clear explanation did I not, what more do yo want you spoiled villainess!”

Scarlet Screamed a long painful Scream as though she was being boiled alive

“What do I want! All I wanted was to please my parents, but you, you stole the only thing I truly wanted in life.” she pointed at Serenity a scowl painted across her face.

“That's enough!” price Kyle stood up while Serenity cowered on Scarlet's throne “Princess Scarlet tomorrow at noon you shall be executed at the town square for everyone to see.”

And with that the guards grabbed her by the arms dragged her down a damp staircase and shoved her into a cold cell locking the door behind them. Scarlet was so confused she had no idea what just happened was this even real life, she pinched herself to make sure.

“Ow, definitely not a dream.”

That night she was forced to sleep on the cold concrete floor, although she did not really sleep for much of the night as she was still wondering about how her fate had changed so quickly. when morning finally came the sun shone though a tiny window close to the roof not nearly big enough to fit even a small child’s head out of it. The light hit Scarlet's face waking her up after that horrible sleep. She got up and curled up in the corner of the room waiting to be freed. Her expensive dress was covered in grime and dust on the left side from where she had been laying on the floor. When the time finally came for her to be led to her execution five guards rumbled down the staircase to collect her.They pushed oped the door of metal bars, pulled her up, and brought her out of the cell, out of the palace, into the streets and to the execution centre in the middle of the town. When she finally reached her destination there was a guillotine sitting there waiting for her. The guards shoved her down and locked her head in place so she wouldn't escape.

“Any last words Miss?”

She looked at everyone in the crowd, out of all the many commoners, not one wore a fancy dress like hers, or had expensive books or toys, she looked at the floor, the pale grey cobblestone floor. It was cool and smooth, she could smell freshly made bread coming from a stall not so far away. All the common families from the kingdom were surrounding her all in little groups.

“Tell the prince he will regret killing me, there will never be peace between the two kingdoms if I'm gone. You'll stay at war for the rest of your sad little lives!” she scowled at everyone standing before her, even after the dreaded blade came down there was still that same scowl painted right on her face.

SHINK!

Her perfect head fell to the ground, now with blood crying out of the neck. she looked at the world one last time, parents covering children's eyes, people walking back to stalls and houses, and those who just stood there. The cobblestone pierced her skin with its frozen nature, her body lay limp still held in the wooden machine. Blood was dripping down the other half of her neck and down to the top of her expensive dress which glistened in the sunlight. She could hear everyone walk away to go back to what they were doing, they had not a care in the world for the spoiled princess, why not!? She thought. Eventually her eyes fell closed. She was expecting the worst to happen but all she saw was pitch black. It was quiet, well mostly, although she couldn't quite make out what it was from, she could hear a slight ticking coming from all directions. She could feel her body drifting deeper and deeper into the dark, further and further.
