My Husband From My Past Life Is A Prince

Chapter 5 - Silvercrest Legacy

Charlotte stood at the precipice of her destiny. Her 18th birthday had come and gone, and with it, Charlotte's days were filled with rigorous training alongside the palace knights. She sparred with them, honing her swordsmanship skills, her movements fluid and precise. Magnus, her father, watched from the sidelines, his eyes never leaving her.

One sunny afternoon, as the courtyard echoed with the clash of steel, Charlotte faced off against a seasoned knight Their blades met, sparks flying, and Charlotte's heart raced. She sidestepped, narrowly avoiding a blow that would have left her reeling. But then she hit the knights sword hard as the knights sword flew from his hands, Charlotte has checkmated him. "That was close," she muttered, beads of sweat forming on her brow.

The next round of sparring, Charlotte was fighting flawlessly, But then something changed. Her vision blurred, colors bleeding into one another. The world around her seemed to slow, and she felt a surge of power, magic awakening within her. It was as if a dormant well had burst forth, flooding her senses.

"What is this?" Charlotte wondered, her mind racing. "I feel so... different."

"Magnus rushed forward, concern etched on his face. "Charlotte!" he called out. "Are you all right?" But before she could answer, darkness closed in. Charlotte's legs gave way, and she collapsed into Magnus's arms. The surge of power had drained her, leaving her weak and disoriented.

In avoid between realms, Charlotte drifted somewhere with no time or place. Darkness enveloped her, its weight pressing against her consciousness.

"Where am I?" she whispered, her voice swallowed by the void. The silence echoed back, a cavernous emptiness that seemed to stretch into eternity. And then, like a distant star piercing the blackness, a glowing purple butterfly materialized before her. Its delicate wings fluttered, casting a soft luminescence. Charlotte reached out, her fingers brushing against its iridescent scales.

"Butterfly," she thought, her mind a haze of confusion. The creature hummed, its energy seeping into her skin. Pain shot through her, sharp and electric.

"What is this?" Charlotte wondered, gritting her teeth. The butterfly's light intensified, merging with her essence. Memories flickered a forgotten past, a hidden purpose.

And then, as if in response to her silent plea, a second butterfly appeared. This one was blue, its wings shimmering like sapphire. Faint sound reached her ears a distant calling.

"Charlotte! Charlotte!" The words echoed, carried by the blue butterfly. She touched it, and suddenly, the void fractured. Reality rushed in a cacophony of voices, colors, and sensations. Charlotte gasped, her body convulsing. She blinked, finding herself no longer adrift but lying on cold stone. A medic hovered over her, concern etched on their face. Knights stood guard, their armor glinting in torchlight.

"What happened?" Charlotte croaked, her throat dry.

Magnus knelt beside her, relief flooding his eyes. "You suddenly passed out, dear," he explained. "We were worried."

Selene, watched from a distance. "Do you feel okay?" she asked, her gaze piercing.

Charlotte nodded weakly. "Just... drained," she admitted. The surge of power the magic still pulsed within her. She had glimpsed secrets beyond imagination, and now, she stood at the precipice of a destiny she couldn't comprehend.

In the opulent chambers of the palace, Charlotte sat on her bed, the drapes drawn against the chill of the approaching winter. The Doctor stood by the window "My Lady may have fainted due to the cold," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the paper he was holding "Or perhaps it's the strain of relentless training and duties. Either way, she must rest."
