Chapter 46: A Villainess Is Now the Center of a Love Pentagon (Help!)
Seraphina had many problems.
But the biggest one?
She had somehow accidentally created a love pentagon.
How did this happen?
Let's review:
Prince Alexander: The brooding crown prince who kept stalking her for "revenge."
Duke Damian: The cold, possessive vampire who thought her entire existence belonged to him.
Caspian de Rosier: The flirtatious vampire playboy who had now decided that annoying her was his life mission.
Lady Genevieve Blackthorne: The rival-turned-fake-friend who was definitely plotting something.
Lila: Her actual best friend, who just sat back and enjoyed the chaos.
Seraphina wanted to scream.

The Problem Begins (Again)
Seraphina tried to enjoy what was left of her peaceful tea party.
Then Alexander and Damian stormed in.
Literally.
The doors slammed open, almost flying off their hinges.
Genevieve looked up, unimpressed.
"Wow. Very dramatic."
Seraphina sighed.
"Oh, fantastic. My two least favorite people."
Alexander frowned.
"You seem to be in a suspiciously good mood."
Damian glared at Caspian.
"And why is he here?"
Caspian smirked.
"Why, my dear duke, do I sense jealousy?"
Damian's eye twitched.
Alexander ignored them and turned to Seraphina.
"What were you talking about?"
Seraphina sipped her tea calmly.
"Oh, just some minor details. You know—like the favor I owe Genevieve."
Alexander and Damian froze.
"…Favor?" they said in unison.
Genevieve smirked.
"That's right. Seraphina is in my debt."
Alexander narrowed his eyes.
"And what do you want from her?"
Genevieve tapped her chin.
"Hmm. I could ask for something interesting. Maybe… oh, I don't know…"
She glanced at Seraphina.
"Your hand in marriage?"
Seraphina spit out her tea.
Caspian laughed.
"Oh, now this is fun."
Damian's entire body froze.
Alexander looked like he was about to commit a war crime.
"…Marriage?"
Seraphina gasped for air.
"Excuse me?!"
Genevieve just smiled.
"Relax. I was joking… mostly."
Seraphina glared.
"That wasn't funny!"
"It was very funny," Lila commented from the sidelines, munching on a cookie.

And Then It Gets Worse
Alexander finally spoke.
"If Seraphina owes a favor, then it should be me collecting it."
Seraphina rolled her eyes.
"Oh? And what exactly do you want?"
Alexander smirked.
"A date."
Caspian and Damian both choked.
Genevieve laughed.
"Oh, now that's bold."
Seraphina stared at Alexander.
"A date?"
"Yes," Alexander said smoothly. "A royal banquet is happening next week. You'll attend as my partner."
Damian slammed his hand on the table.
"Absolutely not."
Seraphina groaned.
"Can I have one day of peace?"
Caspian leaned in.
"If she's going on a date, I demand one too."
Seraphina glared.
"No one is demanding anything!"
Genevieve smirked.
"Well, I could use that favor to make you mine for a day."
Seraphina stood up.
"THAT'S IT. I'M LEAVING."
Lila waved.
"Have fun being the most wanted woman in the empire."
Seraphina stomped out of the room.
Behind her, four people immediately started arguing.
Lila popped another cookie in her mouth.
"Yup. This is fun."
