The Villainess is Back to Life

To the ones whose fire burns brightest, turning pain into power and scars into strength. You deserve a love as fierce as your heart and as unrelenting as the justice you seek. ※※※ Princess Natasha Nicholai had spent thirteen years drenched in blood, a weapon in her twin sister Dalilah’s hands. Manipulated by Dalilah’s cunning cruelty, Natasha unknowingly carried out the slaughter of hundreds of innocents—including her own brother and dearest friend, Valerian. The weight of her crimes crushed her, but not before they finally caught up to her. In the shadow of the Imperial Palace, her execution was swift and cold—a fitting end for a pawn of betrayal. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. Instead of meeting eternal death, Natasha awakens in her own past, months before her fourteenth birthday—the day Dalilah’s control began. Staring at the familiar walls of her childhood, Natasha is haunted by the faces of those she once killed and the blood on her hands. This time, she vows, will be different. No longer will she be Dalilah’s puppet. This time, she will protect her younger brother, shield her friends from the senseless bloodshed, and dismantle her sister’s twisted schemes before they take root. And this time, she will make Dalilah pay. But as Natasha seeks her revenge, she uncovers dark secrets that go far beyond her sister’s betrayal. Someone stole her magic when she was only four years old, leaving her vulnerable to Dalilah’s manipulation. Someone—some force—gave her this second chance. But why? And for what purpose? Her search for answers brings her face to face with Ethan Theodore, a dangerous man cloaked in shadows, whose ruby-red eyes seem to see straight into her soul. He is an enigma, bound to her fate by a thread she can’t quite unravel. Whether he will help her or destroy her remains a mystery. In ‘The Villainess is Back to Life', Natasha must confront the demons of her past, carve her own path forward, and unravel the web of magic and destiny that binds her. In a world where betrayal is blood-deep and fate is as unforgiving as steel, she will have to decide whether to become the hero of her own story—or embrace the villainy she once lived. ※※※ ※ The Villainess will be a novel of three volumes/books, and it's currently on the 1st one.

Founding of the Caspien Empire and Its Houses

[Prior to the Conquer of the Empire]

King Aaron Caspien Nicholai-Decker [dead]

Queen Addison Lloyd [dead]

» Crown Prince Alexander [Caspien] Nicholai [Decker], firstborn and oldest

» 2nd Prince Aiden Caspien [Nicholai Decker], second son and oldest twin of Alisha

» 3rd Princess Alisha [Caspien Nicholai] Decker, third child, only daughter and youngest twin of Aiden

※※※※※※

[Alexander Nicholai], [Aiden Caspien], and [Alisha Decker] conquered twenty nine Kingdoms and build the Empire together with their childhood friend [Jalen Cain Larsson], who married [Alisha Decker] during the Conquer.

When it was time to appoint the Emperor, they wanted their older brother [Alexander Nicholai] to take over the throne, as he was the firstborn and the strongest, but he refused, as he never desired the responsibilities. So, when it came down to the twins, [Alisha Decker-Cain] stepped down and gave up her claim for her older twin and middle brother. Thus, [Aiden Caspien] became the Emperor, naming the Empire after the last name he took for himself, after him and his siblings picked one for each.

That was the birth of [Imperial House Caspien], [Grand Duchy Nicholai], and [Grand Duchy Cain]. As [Jalen Cain] had been one of conquerors with his wife, his family rose to grace, and as his sister [Felicity Cain Larsson], who also took part in the Conquer of the Empire, married [Adam Rosalyn], a Prince from the allied Rosalyn Kingdom, and founded [House Larsson] and [Grand Duchy Larsson].

To strengthen their alliances with the other Kingdoms of Harkheiz Continent such as [Rosalyn], [White-Wood], [Orion], and [Ludwick]; aside from the Grand Duchess [Felicity Larsson] marrying Prince [Adam Rosalyn], other unions and promised unions were made between the the neighboring Royal Houses with the Houses of the Caspien Empire.

All in order to maintain a safe alliance with the Caspien Empire.

I should have posted this sooner, but here it is.

I hope it will help you understand the houses of the Empire and their connections better!

If you want an overall of the two continents containing the two Empires, the eight Kingdoms, and the Archipelago K'hir's most important houses and people, I can do that as well. Just leave it a comment if you want it.
