Chapter 56: A Villainess Faces an Even Bigger Disaster!
Seraphina was enjoying her victory.
For once, she wasn't being chased, threatened, or dragged into trouble.
She had won.
Or so she thought.
Because the universe?
Absolutely hated her.

The Invitation of Doom
A royal messenger arrived, holding a golden envelope.
Seraphina eyed it suspiciously.
"…Is this a death threat?"
The messenger hesitated.
"Um… no? It's an invitation to the Royal Vampire Gala."
Seraphina groaned.
No. NO. NOT ANOTHER BALL.
Lila gasped dramatically.
"Oh my god, another chance for you to cause absolute chaos?"
Seraphina glared.
"I am not going."
The messenger paled.
"You have no choice. Attendance is mandatory for all noble houses."
Seraphina threw her hands in the air.
"OF COURSE IT IS."

Wardrobe Nightmares
Lila dragged Seraphina to her dressing room.
"You need to look stunning."
Seraphina crossed her arms.
"I need to survive."
Lila pulled out a blood-red gown.
Seraphina stared.
"…Are you dressing me for a romance novel cover?"
"Yes."
"…Fine."

The Gala From Hell
The ballroom was beautiful.
Golden chandeliers. Glittering dresses. Handsome vampire lords.
Seraphina?
She wanted to leave.
Immediately.
Because the moment she stepped in…
Every. Single. Male Lead. Turned to look at her.
Damian smirked.
Alexander raised an eyebrow.
Even Prince Lucien—the coldest, scariest vampire of them all—narrowed his eyes.
Seraphina took one step back.
"…Oh no."
Lila whispered.
"Oh yes."

The Disaster Begins
The first mistake?
She accidentally stepped on a noble's dress.
The second mistake?
Said noble was Lady Genevieve Blackthorne.
The third mistake?
Genevieve had a full glass of wine in her hand.
And because Seraphina cursed by fate itself…
The wine went flying.
Straight onto Prince Lucien.
The ballroom fell silent.
Seraphina froze.
Genevieve gasped.
Lila whispered.
"…You are so dead."
Prince Lucien…
Slowly turned.
His piercing red eyes locked onto Seraphina.
"…Lady Nightshade."
Seraphina sweated.
"Uh. Hi?"
Lucien took a step forward.
Seraphina grabbed Lila's arm.
"Plan B?"
Lila nodded.
"RUN."
