I quiver as he snakes his arm around my waist with his lips behind my ear whispering, "So what would you say about my proposal, Zelda?" 

   Peering into his eyes with a smile on my lips, I entangle him in a hug and plunge the knife at his back taking him by surprise. Slowly, he goes limp in my arms falling on his knees before me while staring at me and not uttering a word.

   Leaning forward, I give him a peck as a tear escapes from my eyes.

 "I'm sorry, either way it's meant to come to this." I say giving a him final look before twisting the knife further at his back, leaving him to bleed to death.

   Griselda Capell, a seemingly average young lady with hidden abilities has only one ambition in life, 'to become successful and find a way to live happily ever after'. Her dreams come crashing down when she's sold off to the Royal pure blooded Garcia's family as a mistress to the heir, Aidan.


   Slowly, she entertains the idea that life with Aidan doesn't seem all bad as they rather slowly fall in love. Soon, her hidden abilities are slowly discovered and harnessed, with emissaries of the Venine temple whisking her away and intimating of her role and destiny in life. 


  Plots, twists and turns ensue as her destiny which she's expected to fulfill is in stark contrast with Aidan's, which harshly drifts them apart and turns her into a version of herself she had never dreamt of, a monster as some may call her.

   With a mass of powers at the tip of her fingers, tons of army at her command, Griselda turns out to be Aidan's most dreaded enemy, fear and weakness.


A entrancing tale of love and hate, lovers to enemies, both expected to do away with each other, which will survive?

Griselda.

Decorations are seen in corners of the street as they're lit up brightly. Groups of people can also be seen walking through the streets all dressed nicely.

At the mighty gates of the Royal mansion, carts are seen pulling in and being checked by the guards.

A cart drawn by two horses slowly makes it's way to a secluded corner in the decorated compound lit up with bright lights. As it slowly comes to a stop, the cart's door opens as a young man steps out of it, seemingly a vampire with some influence in the council.

He widely opens the door as another cart pulls beside him. Holding the man's hand, Alyssa steps down dressed to the nines in a fitting evening gown muttering a spell. Her hair is let loose to cascade down her face which covers the scars on her face and shoulder blade.

The other cart opens to reveal young men all stepping down in succession. They're dressed in matching robes and all stand before Alyssa and the young man.
