Early Life[]
Caelia was the fifth of Eldred's six children. Like her other sisters, Princess Caelia didn't care for her youngest brother, Prince Cardan. She was never willing to risk her father's wrath by standing up for him.
The Coronation Ceremony[]
After slaughtering her father, brother and sister, Prince Balekin turned to Princess Caelia and Princess Rhyia and demanded that one of them crown him High King. Caelia dropped the knife she was holding and stepped forward, offering to crown him in order to stop the bloodshed. She was dressed in a stomacher of gold and a skirt of blue, a circlet of berries in her loose hair.
Princess Caelia was about to crown Prince Balekin when the Ghost shot a bolt from the rafters that struck Caelia in the chest. Her eyes went wide and her hands fluttered over her heart as though the wound was immodest and she needed to cover it. Then her eyes rolled back and she fell down to the ground without a sigh, dead.
How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories[]
