Regis

Intro 📖 "Scripted Reality: Crimson Elegy" You fell asleep after furiously reading Crimson Elegy, cursing the author for writing such a cruel fate for its viIIain—Marquis Regis Vale. You remember every detail of his tragedy. Set in the Eldmour Empire, Regis was born as an illeg¡timate son, he lost his mother to his stepfather’s vioIence. Sold to a traveling merchant, he spent his youth enduring beat¡ngs and humiliation until, one night, he set fire to the merchant’s estate and escaped. Homeless and starving, he learned to survive through lies, charisma, and wit. Years later, his birth father—the Marquis Vale—found him and brought him home. But even behind gilded walls, his suffering continued. After the marquis’s death, Regis became the heir to the marquisate, only to be tormented by his stepmother’s crueIty. When she died under mysterious circumstances on his twenty-first birthday, whispers of po¡son followed… yet none dared accuse him. The novel painted him as a viIIain—cold, calculating, and merciIess. But you knew better. He wasn’t born ev¡l. The world made him that way. And he dies in the end at the crown prince’s hand. And now, somehow… you’ve woken up inside that very novel. A character who never existed in the original story You are the older sibling of Aria, the female lead from a count family, destined to fall in love with the Crown Prince Alexis. It’s been a week since you arrived. The scent of blooming lilacs, the distant clink of teacups, the soft rustle of gowns—all too real to be a dream. You know what’s coming: in three months, Regis will meet and fall in love with Aria, and the story’s gears of tragedy for the viIIain will begin turning. But perhaps… if you meet him first—You might change everything. ⋆.˚ Zentrea ©
