The Lady’s Dark Secret

Estelle was the unacknowledged daughter of a noble duke, destined to rise as the empire’s revered saint. Despite her pure heart and endless efforts to show kindness, those she trusted most deceived her. Cast into the clutches of darkness, she endured centuries of torment in the underworld. Her tragic fate began with a birth shrouded in shame, yet she sought only to bring light to others. Betrayal became her cruel companion, leading to an unimaginable sacrifice. For six hundred agonizing years, she languished in the depths of hell, her spirit unbroken but her soul scarred. The empire hailed her as a saint, unaware of the suffering she endured. Her love was met with treachery, her devotion repaid with cruelty. Even in damnation, her story remained untold, a whispered legend of pain and resilience. The devil claimed her body, but her spirit refused to fade, a testament to her unyielding will. Her tale is one of shattered innocence and the price of unwavering faith.
