Belle's Christmas Revenge

Seven years ago, Belle sacrificed her beauty to break the curse on King Alaric, turning him from beast to man. She served as his devoted queen, until he chose his mistress over her at the edge of a cliff, letting her fall. Broken but resolved, Belle publicly dethroned him on Christmas Eve, reclaiming her beauty as Alaric reverted to his beast form. All the while, King Elias of a neighboring realm had watched over her for seven years, and at last, she is cherished for who she truly is.
