They got it wrong.
All of it.

The songs, the scrolls, the lullabies whispered to  terrified children—their version of me was a lie sewn with golden thread. A tale meant to pacify the public .

They told you I was delicate.
Fair.
Innocent
Sweet.

Skin like snow, lips like blood, hair like night.
As if beauty defined the sum of my soul.

They told you I was a victim. That I fell to the queen’s envy, lured by a fruit’s red shine.
That a prince’s kiss saved me.

Adorable.
Foolish.

I never needed saving.
And that old hag? She never stood a chance.

You see, I’m not the lamb.

I’m the wolf with a crown made of thorns and ash.

A queen not of kingdoms...
But of shadows.

And this—my dears—is the real story.

The one soaked in blood.

The one they tried to bury.
