Prince Charming Must Die

Ashley's fairytale has soured. Her Prince Charming, once her everything, is distant, leaving her trapped in a golden cage of anxiety and boredom. But when she uncovers his betrayal, the princess who once yearned for a happy ending now craves something far more thrilling: revenge. Can she reclaim her power and rewrite her own destiny?

The gilded cage of Cornell Castle, perched precariously on a sheer cliff, felt less like a dream and more like a prison for Princess Ashley. Three months into her 'happily ever after' with Prince Charming, she found herself gazing at rose wallpaper that now seemed to mock her with fanged monsters.

Her prince, once her salvation, was perpetually absent, off on nebulous 'quests' that left her with little but her own mounting anxiety. The royal manicurist despaired over her chewed fingernails, and the endless hours of waiting made her almost nostalgic for the relentless labor of her stepmother's house.

As the distant cathedral chimed midnight, a lone tear traced a path down her cheek. It was a stark reminder of the magic that had brought them together, magic that now felt utterly, irrevocably gone. This was not the fairytale she'd earned. With a resolute clench of her jaw, Ashley knew she couldn't wait any longer. It was time to bring back the magic, one way or another.
