Evelynn's ire was palpable as she confronted the revelation that had left her reeling. Her anger was a potent mixture of shock, disappointment, and betrayal.

The omission that had finally pushed her over the edge was her father's failure to disclose any information about her biological mother. The uncertainty had long plagued her, leading her to speculate that she might have been an orphan, devoid of parental love and connection.

The notion was a constant, gnawing doubt that had lingered in the back of her mind, despite her father's youthful appearance. Now, as she struggled to process the news that he was dating Queen Fiona, the fiancée of her own father, Evelynn's emotions were in turmoil. The discovery had shattered her sense of security and left her feeling vulnerable and uncertain about her own identity.

Evelynn's anger was a tempestuous storm, brewing beneath the surface until it finally erupted in a torrent of fury.

As the couple's kiss deepened, she rose from her seat, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. Her voice, laced with a venomous tone, cut through the air like a razor, "Father, is this how you keep your secrets hidden? How you continue to deceive and manipulate, never once stopping to consider the pain you inflict? You never noticed the tears I've cried, the boys who've touched me, the loneliness that's consumed me. You never intended to be a father, to guide me, to love me. You're just a master of deception, living a lie, and using your words to mask the truth. You claim to love me, to be my father, but that's nothing but a fabrication, a cruel joke. I'm your daughter, and you've never truly been there for me. That's not love, that's not fatherhood – it's just a facade, a shame!" Evelynn's words were a raw, emotional outpouring, her heart laid bare as she wept uncontrollably, the weight of her pain and betrayal finally too much to bear.

Her father's countenance was a picture of shock, his eyes wide with a mix of surprise and trepidation. He had never intended for Evelynn to discover the truth, but the moment of reckoning had finally arrived.

With a heavy heart, he knew he could no longer conceal the secrets that had been weighing on him. Meanwhile, Queen Fiona's reaction was a masterclass in deception.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEeHVjqp5P
Her shock was a carefully crafted facade, a calculated ploy to create a dramatic scene that would serve her own purposes. Her eyes, once bright with a hint of genuine surprise, now seemed to hold a calculating glint, a testament to her cunning and manipulative nature. The cruel irony was not lost on Evelynn, who felt a pang of sadness and betrayal as she realized that even her mother's emotions were not what they seemed.

Her father's demeanor shifted, his confidence and composure returning as he began to speak. His tone was soothing, yet laced with a subtle undercurrent of persuasion. "Evelynn, my dear, I understand your anger, but let me clarify the situation. You are my daughter, and you will always hold a special place in my heart. However, I am also a human being, with desires and needs. I require love and guidance for my future, just as you do. I can assure you that my actions were not intended to cause you harm. I am a man with flaws, and I have made mistakes. For that, I am truly sorry. I have been remiss in my duties as a father, often leaving you to fend for yourself. But, my dear, I ask you to consider the greater good. Our marriage has been arranged, and you will become the princess of Reaverrest. You will be a royal, with all the privileges and protections that come with it. No one will ever harm or disturb you again. You will be safe, and you will have the life you deserve."

Evelynn's head shook in disbelief as she listened to her father's words, her mind reeling from the revelation. "What kind of privilege is this?" she asked, her voice laced with a mix of anger and sadness. "A privilege that is built on lies and manipulation? You call this a blessing, Father? Now, if I am indeed your daughter, then I demand to know the truth. Who is my biological mother? Who is the one who carried me for nine long months, without a break, without a moment of respite? Tell me the truth, Father. I want to know who she is, what she looks like, what her story is. I want to know everything. You've kept me in the dark for so long, and I'm tired of living in the shadows of your secrets. It's time for the truth to come to light."

Her father's silence was palpable, his eyes fixed on the floor as if searching for an answer that eluded him. The weight of his secrets hung heavy in the air, and he seemed unable to find the words to break the silence.

Queen Fiona, however, was not one to be deterred. With a gentle, yet calculating tone, she spoke, her words dripping with a soothing quality that belied their true nature. "Oh, dear Evelynn, your mother probably left you for reasons, didn't she, love?" she cooed, her voice a masterclass in manipulation. As she spoke, she wrapped her arm around her father's, her touch a subtle reminder of her hold on him. "She probably wasn't the most responsible person, just a fleeting pleasure, a night's indulgence, like those women who work for men, enjoying their bodies..." Her words trailed off, leaving an uncomfortable silence in their wake.

Queen Fiona's words hung in the air, poised to cross the line of decency, but Evelynn's fury was already at a boiling point. The mention of her mother being joked about in such a derogatory manner sent Evelynn's anger soaring to new heights. Before Queen Fiona could continue, Evelynn's voice erupted in a fierce outburst. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANYTHING DISRESPECTFUL ABOUT MY MOTHER!" she thundered, her eyes blazing with indignation. "How can a queen, a leader of Reaverrest, disrespect any being in such a manner? Isn't that a gross betrayal of the very principles she claims to uphold?" Evelynn's words dripped with venom, her tone unyielding. "And if you really know something about my mother that even her own lover doesn't, then perhaps you're just putting on an act, pretending to be something you're not. It's impossible that everyone I've spoken to, including my own father, knows nothing about my mother. How can you disrespect my mother, speak such vile words, and still maintain your queenly composure? If you didn't have a hand in my mother's disappearance, then perhaps you should be asking yourself why you're so eager to speak ill of her. Your words are nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to manipulate and control, and I won't stand for it."

Queen Fiona's expression darkened, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and embarrassment as she felt her authority being challenged. Without hesitation, she summoned the royal guards, her voice dripping with malice as she ordered Evelynn's imprisonment in the dungeon below.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVqbY73BIp
Evelynn's eyes widened in shock as she felt a sense of foreboding wash over her. The queen's reaction was far too intense to be merely a response to her defense of her mother. It was as if Queen Fiona was hiding something, and Evelynn's instincts told her that she was right. But what could Evelynn do now?
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJA3T9VYQC
The guards closed in, their cold, unyielding eyes fixed on her as they dragged her away from the palace hall. Evelynn's fear grew as she realized that defending her mother had led her down a path of danger and uncertainty.

She turned to her father, her eyes pleading for help, but her father's response was devastating. He remained still, his gaze averted, his silence a stark contrast to his earlier words of love and devotion. It was as if he had never truly meant them, and Evelynn felt a deep sense of betrayal wash over her.

Queen Fiona's smirk grew wider, her eyes gleaming with a satisfied, almost malevolent light as she gazed at Evelynn. "Next time, try to be grateful for me," she sneered, her voice dripping with condescension. "And I'm sure your life will be easy." The queen's words were a cruel taunt, a reminder that Evelynn's defiance had earned her a place in the dungeon, and that her life would never be the same. As she spoke, her gaze seemed to bore into Evelynn's very soul, as if to drive home the lesson she was trying to teach.

With a satisfied smile still plastered on her face, Queen Fiona turned to her father, her eyes flashing with a calculating intensity. "Come, my dear," she cooed, her voice low and husky. "Let us retire to my chambers. I'm sure we can find a way to... discuss your daughter's behavior further." The queen's words were laced with a sinister undertone, and Evelynn's heart sank as she realized what was about to happen. The queen's bedroom was a place where secrets were kept, and where the lines between right and wrong were blurred.

As Evelynn's terror reached a fever pitch, her mind reeled with the weight of her father's betrayal. The man who was supposed to protect and love her had instead chosen to abandon her, leaving her at the mercy of the ruthless Queen Fiona. The thought of her own biological father, the one person she had trusted, now seemed like a cruel joke. Evelynn's heart felt heavy with despair, her mind racing with the question: what could she do now?
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4sXNrinBC
The darkness of her situation seemed to close in around her, the shadows of the dungeon walls looming large. She felt trapped, with no escape in sight. The queen's words still echoed in her mind, "Next time, try to be grateful for me. And I'm sure your life will be easy." The irony was not lost on Evelynn - she had been grateful, she had trusted, and now she was paying the price. The sweet lies and false promises that had once brought her comfort now seemed like a distant memory, replaced by the harsh reality of her situation.
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2WrAIICTw
Evelynn's thoughts were a jumble of fear, anger, and desperation. She knew she had to find a way out, but the queen's power was formidable, and the dungeon's walls seemed impenetrable. Would she be able to find an escape plan, or would she succumb to the queen's cruelty and let the sweet lies cover up the hidden truth? The choice seemed to hang in the balance, as Evelynn's fate teetered on the edge of uncertainty...
