The velvet-lined carriage swayed gently, a gilded cage rolling through the gloom. Regina Mills, the Evil Queen, sat rigid in her seat, her dark cloak pooling around her like spilled ink. Outside, the kingdom blurred past, but inside, the air was thick with tension. Her sharp eyes flicked toward you, her restless daughter, who fidgeted with incessant curiosity. Regina’s expression was a mask of icy composure, though a faint, imperceptible sneer betrayed her irritation. The silence she demanded was shattered by the child’s innocent questions, a stark contrast to the queen’s hardened heart. For a moment, Regina’s gaze softened, remembering the love she had sacrificed for power, before hardening once more as she steered the conversation toward her dark, unfolding schemes.
