Too late! The Phoenix Princess is no longer yours.

Florence, the Phoenix Princess, is murdered by her childhood friend Caspian after pouring all her power into making him Dragon King. He rips out her magical core and gives it to Isolde, the fake phoenix he truly loves. Florence wakes up reborn on the day she must choose a husband, carrying the full memory of that death. When Caspian humiliates her publicly and demands she accept being his mistress, she refuses and instead writes a different name in the king's hand. Caspian later goes further, demanding she hand over her magical core to Isolde, and even chops down the sycamore tree Florence's mother gave her as a symbol of home. At the gathering before the Dragon Trial, Florence has already given her phoenix pendant to Arthur, a quiet young man of low birth who swore a life oath to never betray her — and Caspian sees it around his neck.
