“The Empress was supposed to be my woman.”... more>>

The Scarecrow Empress, Diane, lived as the last member of the bloodline of a rebellious family.

In front of her, an unidentified man wearing an iron mask appeared.

"That's too bad. I thought I was the first one to see the face of Prince Gotha, which everyone wanted to see."

"Are you saying that you missed me?"

The Prince was as relentless as someone who took pleasure in making fun of her.

"Then I can take it off right away."

"No! I didn't mean it like that!"

As she stopped him from trying to take off his mask, the Prince pulled her towards him.

The wind completely loosened the front of the tightly-tucked gown, and the fronts of the two people met, touching one another through a see-through chemise.

The prince's voice echoed low inside the iron mask.

 "Right now, I'm holding it in, Your Majesty the Empress.”

The moment the Prince's identity was revealed outside the iron mask, Diane had already become a northern woman. <<less

Cincie gently kisses Razey’s shocked lips.

‘I’m sorry that your first love is someone like me.’

‘Why did you deceive me?’

As she approached him, the scent of alcohol mixed with his fragrance filled the air.

It made Cincie’s heart flutter and ache at the same time.

‘Was it fun? Falling in love with me and then planning to cruelly abandon me?’

She was burning like fire, but he was letting his heart flow like water.

“I apologize, Your Grace. I have nothing to say. This is all due to my incompetence.”

“No, it’s finished.”

Zahid drew his sword as he spoke gracefully.

While the knights were at their wits’ end, I approached Zahid. He glanced back at me, before turning back to the sword’s blade that shone in the moonlight. I reached out to him.

“Give me the sword.”

“I don’t want to. He insulted you.”

“No, that’s not it.”

I looked directly up at the knights that spoke such insulting words.

“I’ll stab you myself.” <<less
