Episode 12
"Elira… what happened to you?"
Albert rushed forward in panic.
He quickly caught her before she could fall and gently laid her on the bed.
Without wasting a second, he pressed the intercom.
"Call the governess. Now."
A few moments later—
The door opened.
"Yes, sir."
A woman in her forties stepped inside.
Miss Hoonda.
Behind her, a doctor followed quietly.
She closed the door carefully.
Albert's eyes sharpened.
"Miss Hoonda… did anyone see you coming here?"
"No, sir," she replied calmly.
The doctor moved closer to the bed and began examining Elira.
The room fell into silence.
Only the faint sound of her breathing could be heard.
After a moment, the doctor stepped back.
"Don't worry," he said.
"Everything seems normal."
A pause.
"She's completely fine."
Albert frowned slightly.
Fine…?
Then why did something feel so wrong…?
The Trap Begins 🔥
"It's probably just study pressure," the doctor said calmly.
"She hasn't been sleeping properly."
He adjusted the syringe.
"I've given her an injection. She'll be fine when she wakes up tomorrow."
"Alright… thank you, doctor," Albert said quietly.
The doctor nodded and left.
As soon as the door closed—
Albert's expression changed.
He turned to the governess.
"Make sure Neelm doesn't find out about this."
A pause.
"And from now on…"
His voice turned cold.
"You will keep an eye on Elira."
"Everything she does… everywhere she goes…"
"Report it to me."
"Yes, sir."
Scene — Neelm's Move
"I wasn't getting a chance to enter Elira's room…"
Neelm muttered to herself as she quickly stepped inside.
She had sent the governess away on an excuse.
Elira had already left for school.
"Where is it…?"
She searched impatiently.
Then—
Her eyes landed on a comb.
A strand of hair.
"There you are."
She picked it up slowly.
"Nothing special…" she murmured, confused.
Moments later—
She handed it to Zaryon.
Scene — Dark Magic
Zaryon dropped the hair into a glass jar.
Inside it—
A strange blue liquid shimmered.
He began chanting.
Dark energy flickered.
"Give this to the prince," he said.
The liquid transformed into a perfume bottle.
He handed it to his servant.
"Tell him… there's a party tonight."
"And Aiden must wear this."
A cold smile appeared on his lips.
"From tonight…"
"Elira will become obsessed with him."
"She will dance to his every command." 😈🔥
The servant bowed and left.
Zaryon laughed softly.
"Now the real fun begins…"
"I can't wait for tonight."
Scene — School
Elira sat quietly in class, lost in thought.
Father didn't ask me anything about last night…
And suddenly that governess… why is she always watching me?
"Suno…"
A cheerful voice interrupted her thoughts.
Kim Hyun-jin stood beside her, smiling.
"There's a party tonight."
She handed her an invitation card.
"You have to come."
Elira looked at her—
"…Okay."
She gave a small nod.
From a distance—
Aiden watched them.
A slow smile spread across his face.
"This brat…" he muttered under his breath.
"Getting too close."
"Today in assembly… he dared to warn me."
"Stay away from Elira… or else?"
Aiden's eyes darkened.
"I should've taught him a lesson right there…"
A pause.
"But I have to stay good in Elira's eyes." 😏🔥
Rising Tension 🔥
Sareena couldn't tolerate it anymore.
Aiden was ignoring her…
and his eyes were fixed on Elira.
The sight alone filled her with anger. 😡
Maira and Tara exchanged glances.
They could clearly see Sareena's mood.
Both of them tried to calm her down—
but it wasn't working.
Aiden had already distanced himself from his group.
Rafael now sat away from the three girls.
His father's words echoed in his mind—
"Stay away from that group."
He had learned about Prince Adrian's interest in Elira.
And he wasn't someone who let opportunities slip away.
If the prince is interested… then she's important.
So he decided—
He would get close to Elira.
Sareena was never liked by Mr. Han.
But she was the Minister's daughter.
That was the only reason
he tolerated her behavior.
Mr. Han, the principal of the school,
couldn't act freely.
He knew everything—
Rafael's interest in Sareena…
And the truth behind it.
He wasn't serious about her.
He was just using her.
At school—
Aiden was the one who truly held power.
Most of the fights were handled by him.
Rafael…
Was only bold in words.
Just a lion in talk…
Rafael leaned back slightly, lost in thought.
Tonight's party…
I have to behave well with Elira.
I need to get closer to her.
His eyes darkened with calculation.
This is my chance… 😏🔥
The Party Begins 🔥
"Tonight's party… you will never forget it, Elira."
Sareena said coldly, her eyes burning with anger.
The party had already begun.
Guests filled the hall.
Soft music echoed.
Laughter… elegance… masks hiding intentions.
But behind the smiles—
Everyone was waiting.
Scene — The Hidden Plans
Alessia quietly entered Elira's room earlier.
A cold smirk on her lips.
She took Elira's dress—
And carefully cut it from the back.
Just enough…
So that when Elira wore it—
It would tear apart in front of everyone. 😈
Meanwhile—
Sareena handed money to a waiter.
"Mix this in her drink," she ordered.
Her voice low… dangerous.
This party—
Was arranged by Neelm.
A celebration.
To show the world—
What a "kind mother" she was.
Even if she was only a stepmother…
She cared for Elira.
At least—
That's what everyone was meant to believe.
Scene — Elira's Entrance
The stairs.
Slow footsteps.
And then—
Elira appeared.
She wore a red maxi dress.
Her black hair—softly curled, flowing freely.
Light makeup.
Simple…
Yet breathtaking. ✨
The entire hall fell silent.
All eyes—
On her.
Kim Hyun-jin stood frozen.
His gaze locked on her.
Like he had turned into stone.
Elira smiled gently…
And walked toward him.
Her dimples appearing softly.
She looked at him closely—
"You look different without your glasses…"
A soft tease in her voice.
Kim Hyun-jin looked… stunning.
Sharp jawline.
Perfect features.
Like a model.
Elira walked closer—
Her heel slipped—
She lost balance—
Before she could fall—
Kim Hyun-jin caught her in his arms.
For a moment—
Time stopped.
Elira's heart…
Beat for the first time. 💔✨
From afar—
Aiden watched.
His expression darkened.
That loser…?
How can he…?
He clenched his fists.
He didn't love Elira—
But he wanted to break her.
To take revenge for his humiliation.
Rafael also watched, surprised.
Suddenly—
A sharp cough echoed.
Albert.
The moment shattered.
Elira and Hyun-jin stepped apart quickly.
Albert's cold gaze fell on the boy.
"Who is he?"
Elira hesitated for a second—
"Papa… he's my friend. Kim Hyun-jin."
She said quickly, nervous.
"H-hello sir…"
Hyun-jin stepped forward and offered his hand.
Albert took it—
And gripped it tightly. 👀🔥The Game Begins 🔥
Aiden smiled as he slowly stepped toward Elira.
From his pocket, he pulled out a small perfume bottle.
A light spray—
The fragrance spread through the air.
His smile deepened.
"Now let's see…" he murmured softly to himself.
"How you fall into my trap."
A strange, cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly—
From the distant stables—
Chaos erupted.
A horse neighed loudly, restless…
Then—
It broke free.
Servants rushed forward.
"Stop it!"
But the horse was wild.
Terrified.
Uncontrollable.
It ran straight toward the party.
"Aiden, watch out—!" someone shouted.
Too late.
THUD!
The horse kicked him with full force.
"Aaahhh!"
Aiden's body flew into the air—
And—
SPLASH! 💦
He crashed straight into the swimming pool.
Water exploded everywhere.
For a moment—
Silence.
Then chaos.
People rushed toward the pool.
Voices filled the air.
From a distance—
Elira watched everything.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
As if… she understood something. 👀
She lowered her gaze slightly.
And whispered—
"The game… has just begun." 😈🔥Chaos & Conspiracy 🔥
Servants rushed toward the pool and quickly pulled Aiden out.
But—
The horse still refused to leave him.
It grabbed onto his pants with its teeth—
And wouldn't let go. 😳
"Pull it away!"
Several people tried to drag the horse back—
But it didn't move.
RIP—!
Aiden's pants tore.
For a moment—
Everyone froze.
Mouths open in shock.
Elira stood at a distance—
Trying to control her laughter. 😅
Kim Hyun-jin quickly placed his hand over her eyes.
"Don't look…" he muttered softly.
"Prince Aiden—!"
Alessia rushed forward.
Neelm and Zaryon followed in panic.
Zaryon's eyes darkened.
He raised his hand—
A faint surge of magic flashed.
The horse suddenly collapsed—
Unconscious.
Everyone hurried to take Aiden away.
But—
Some students had already recorded everything.
Phones in hand.
The damage was done. 👀🔥
Scene — The Trap
Elira walked toward her room.
Something felt… off.
Suddenly—
A sharp blow from behind.
Everything went dark.
Her vision blurred as she slowly opened her eyes.
Voices… whispering.
"You're going to have a lot of fun tonight…"
A low, cruel voice echoed.
"There's a camera here."
"We'll make this go live."
"Destroy her reputation completely." 😈
Elira tried to move—
Her body weak.
She struggled to stand.
Her eyes fell on a window.
I need to get out…
Just then—
The window slid open.
The masked boy appeared.
Silent.
Mysterious.
Without a word—
He lifted Elira into his arms.
And—
Vanished.
Scene — Failed Plan
Moments later—
Sareena entered the room with the men.
She stopped.
Her face twisted in anger.
"Where did she go?!"
Suddenly—
BANG!
The door slammed shut from outside.
Sareena rushed toward it.
"Open this door!"
But then—
A strange scent filled the room.
Heavy.
Intoxicating.
The men around her began to lose control.
Their eyes changed.
Breathing uneven.
Sareena stepped back in fear.
Something had gone… terribly wrong. 😨🔥
