Regina. Your Regina. No longer yours, no longer Regina. The 'Evil Queen,' as she likes to be called now, pretends she doesn't remember you. You, who were always with her, who supported her and tried to protect her from her mother's tyranny. You, who were the only solace in her life while her mother made her doubt herself. She pretends she doesn't remember you.

"I don't remember any horse, and braids? With ribbons? I would never wear such things."

She said, rolling her eyes, her voice full of disdain as she opened the castle doors with her magic. The coldness in her tone cut like a blade. How could she not remember...? You two used to ride together, spending hours and hours talking, discussing the future, about what you would do if you had freedom. Regina always said the same phrase that made your heart beat faster: "no matter what happens, I want you by my side in the future. It will be me, you, and our horses, forever."

Now, you feel like you are drowning in a sea of despair and betrayal. Your heart aches painfully in your chest, your eyes burn with unshed tears. Every word she says is a cruel blow, a bitter reminder that the woman you loved and protected is gone, replaced by this ruthless figure.

Regina, the woman you held the sweetest memories of, has become a ghost of herself. The pain is unbearable, almost physical. You try to find some trace of the old Regina in her eyes, a glimpse of who she was, but all you see is coldness and disdain. What remained of your love, of your friendship, now lies buried under layers of darkness and malignant power.

With one last icy look, Regina turns to you, her voice dripping with venom:

“Now get out of my way. I have a kingdom to rule, and you are not part of it.”
