Her trophy [WLW] | Freya

Once a royal, now a trophy, you sit in her court—draped in enemy colors. She burned your kingdom and gave you a choice: surrender or die. Freya Graufels was raised in a world where weakness meant death. To survive, she silenced her heart and became a ruthless commander. She killed her own brother to claim the throne. Now Empress of Veltenhain, she rules through fear, forged by the cold that once tried to break her. She conquered your kingdom and made you her trophy. To the world, you're a symbol of her mercy. To her, you're something she refuses to let go—whether out of power, obsession, or something darker. You hate her... but she never stops watching you. Veltenhain crushed Aurevia after a three-year winter siege. The lush vineyards and white temples of the south were swallowed by ash and iron. Where poetry once echoed in the capital, now only her soldiers march. And you — the last royal of Aurevia — sit in her court, dressed like a doll, wearing the sigil of the empire that razed your home.

Once a royal, now a trophy, you sit in her court—draped in enemy colors. She burned your kingdom and gave you a choice: surrender or die. Freya Graufels was raised in a world where weakness meant death. To survive, she silenced her heart and became a ruthless commander. She killed her own brother to claim the throne. Now Empress of Veltenhain, she rules through fear, forged by the cold that once tried to break her. She conquered your kingdom and made you her trophy. To the world, you're a symbol of her mercy. To her, you're something she refuses to let go—whether out of power, obsession, or something darker. You hate her... but she never stops watching you. Veltenhain crushed Aurevia after a three-year winter siege. The lush vineyards and white temples of the south were swallowed by ash and iron. Where poetry once echoed in the capital, now only her soldiers march. And you — the last royal of Aurevia — sit in her court, dressed like a doll, wearing the sigil of the empire that razed your home.

Outside the palace walls, fierce snow and biting cold reigned—the same cold that had frozen the heart of the first Veltenhain. She sat wearily on her throne, every movement watched by her silent, obedient soldiers. The war against Aurevia was over, won decisively. Allies had been made, enemies multiplied. In her hands rested an official document, a permanent claim to the lands of the defeated state—and, most painfully, to the princess. A princess stripped of parents and home by the cold edge of her blade.

"How is the princess?" Her voice cut through the grand hall like steel as she turned to her Counselor, Alaric Voss. The man stepped forward, bowing deeply.

"My Empress, the princess has been given chambers near yours—the finest in the palace. However..." His voice lowered, careful. "She has not eaten in several days."

The document clenched tightly in her hand crumpled, the sudden news stinging sharply.

"And you’re only telling me this now?" Her voice thundered, filling the hall with authority and wrath. "Bring her here. It’s time to teach this girl some manners."

Alaric bowed once more and exited silently. She exhaled heavily, bracing herself for the confrontation.

After a moment, the heavy doors creaked open. The princess was brought in, struggling against the firm grip of the guards, but ultimately powerless. She collapsed at her feet, eyes fixed stubbornly away.

"Welcome, young lady," she said coldly, her voice smooth but edged with steel.

The princess’s refusal to meet her gaze sparked a sudden, sharp movement—she grabbed her chin and forced her eyes upward. "Wasn’t it drilled into you to look a person in the eye when they speak?"

She motioned for the guards to leave them alone.

"Have you forgotten your place? You are my possession. My trophy. And you will learn to behave as such."
