The Dragon Queen’s Gambit Plot Summary

Evelyn once saved two serpent-shifters when they were young and brought them into her household as servants. Over the years, their relationship grew into something much closer. Cyril eventually became Evelyn’s Prince Consort, while Cecilia rose to become the head of her handmaidens.

They had every reason to be loyal to Evelyn, because that’s how gratitude should be. But they decided to betray her instead.

In The Dragon Queen’s Gambit ReelShort, Cyril and Cecilia begin a secret affair behind Evelyn’s back. Cecilia becomes pregnant, and rather than accepting the life they already have, the two decide they want something much bigger: Evelyn’s throne. They believe they deserve more for putting up with their master—and savior—for years.

Their solution is spectacularly shameless. They plan to switch Evelyn’s newborn daughter with Cecilia’s son and present their child as the rightful heir to the Southern Empire. On the day Evelyn gives birth, Cecilia carries out the switch and has Evelyn’s real daughter abandoned in the forest among a pack of wolves.

Because apparently cheating on your queen wasn’t enough. They also needed to add baby theft and attempted murder to the résumé.

Fortunately for Evelyn, their brilliant little scheme doesn’t stay secret for long.

She discovers what Cyril and Cecilia have done and manages to save her daughter before anything happens to her. But instead of exposing the traitors immediately, Evelyn chooses a different approach.

She waits. She wants to simmer her revenge for a very long time. And that patience becomes one of the most important parts of The Dragon Queen’s Gambit plot.

Years later, during Lucian Lippert’s coming-of-age ceremony, Evelyn publicly announces that she will hand the throne over to the boy everyone believes is her son.

The moment Evelyn officially gives up the crown, the two reveal their true intentions. Cyril breaks his bond with Evelyn, while Lucian abandons the Lippert name she gave him and takes his father’s surname.

While Cyril and Cecilia enjoy the empire they stole, Evelyn travels north and secretly raises her biological daughter, Ann Reed.

Lucian becomes the new ruler of the Southern Kingdom. Then, because apparently nobody in this family has learned anything from the previous generation, Lucian proposes to Ann with the same goal as his parents.

However, on the day of the marriage, Evelyn finally begins putting her revenge into motion. After spending years allowing Cyril, Cecilia, and their allies to believe they had successfully erased her from the kingdom, Evelyn is ready to reveal just how badly they misunderstood her.

Part 2: The Revenge of Evelyn Lippert in The Dragon Queen’s Gambit Part 2

All those years of silence made Cyril and Cecilia lower their guard. They were unaware that, behind their backs, Evelyn was raising her real daughter and building other forces. Witness the exciting revenge of Evelyn in The Dragon Queen’s Gambit part 2.

2.1. The Bankruptcy

Greed has taken the three traitors who, when the Northern Kingdom’s Queen agreed to marry Lucian, emptied the vaults to arrange a grand wedding. In their minds, it’s an investment with huge ROI: the Queen’s asset in the future.

Ann Reed, the Queen of the North, controls the economy and military power of the North. It is said that she’s richer than all the kingdoms combined. And such a brilliant woman, did the three honestly think she’s easy to fool?

What the three don’t know is that Ann is Evelyn’s daughter. Them emptying their vault just played along with Evelyn’s plan to bankrupt them. She made Cyril sign a billion-dollar contract, then proceeded to buy the materials needed for the production. Now, without materials, Cyril can’t produce the goods within the given time, and they still have to pay 10x the initial amount.

2.2. Unraveling All Secrets

If bankruptcy is enough to shake Lucian, Cyril, and Cecilia, Evelyn’s next news would probably be. After careful investigation, Evelyn gathered information on Lucian’s debauchery and uncovered that he’s actually impotent, unable to sire an heir.

Not only that, but Cecilia also has an affair of her own, even younger than her own son. As for Cyril, that man is not any better. He had already dared to cheat on the Queen, what more on a mere servant like Cecilia.

It seems like loyalty is a foreign word in The Dragon Queen’s Gambit movie.

2.3. Exiled

If the three had just left and accepted their bankruptcy, they could have walked away with their bodies intact. But Cyril struggled one last time and took Queen Ann as his hostage.

Unfortunately for him, the biggest plot twist of The Dragon Queen’s Gambit part 2 just awakened: The Eternal Dragon Aurelius, Ann’s father. Without much struggle, Aurelius defeated every last knight Cyril ordered to catch his wife and daughter.

As for the three masterminds, they will surely enjoy the dungeon where the most dangerous and mad dragons reside.
