Milan is a shadow of the royal family, serving the young first prince, Lorde, and spending time with him like family.

When the kingdom becomes embroiled in war, Milan is killed while protecting the first prince during the chaos of war.

In time, Milan is reborn as Duchess Lisel of Jeus. She lives in the shadow of the royal family and remembers Milan swearing allegiance to the royal family.

After inheriting Milan’s will, Lisel trains in secret, honing her espionage and assassination skills to the same level as her former self.

She becomes engaged to Eduardo, the son of King Lorde, and vows to protect him and make him the future king, but her loyalties are too strong and she is shunned.

Eduardo is attracted to the baroness, and Lisel is forced to break the engagement!

I'm a sucker for villainess stories and this is something of a new and different take on the genre so it gets a 4 on the strength of that. Unfortunately it's not very well written and not nearly long enough to do what it's trying to do (it's length is about 5 pages) so otherwise it would rate a 3 or possibly a 2. I would love to see this expanded into a proper story but no sense holding, y breath.

A shadow guard turned duke's daughter X first prince turned king.

The story is great just that I personally don't like guard x prince since it usually deals with "marrying your Savior" and mixing feelings with work.

Spoiler

Author didn't explain how and why ML fell in love, just that MC became like a mother, a sister and his first love for him. Which for me is lacking as it didn't really help explaining her difference with his other shadows.

[collapse]

I might have like it better had author showed us their relationship from the scratch so as to deeply explain ML's love for MC and why he treats her differently from the other shadows.

On another note, please note that there's a big age gap of ~20 years between MC and ML. So if you are not into that, Don't read.

There's also a sort of in*est case here as there's a statement where ML said he sees MC as his mother and his sister, which might just be a figure of speech. The author didn't really expand so it should not affect much of your reading. But hey, if you are the type that don't like any form of in*est, even just the mention of treating the other as a family initially, then hey your welcome. <<less

It was abrupt and I could recommend the author to lengthen the suspense between the revelation of MC's reborn. It's a good read for reader's who wanted short stories like this.

It definitely could use being at least a big longer but for such a short story it wasn't badly written

i really love this kind of story but I wish the author showed us a bit more of the MC while growing up and retraining

This story really had a potential to be a great story if only the author could make it longer and more detailed. I really want to know more details about MC's espionage life both in her last and current life because it must be awesome but sadly, it was only mentioned in passing. Also, I couldn't get enough of MC and ML's lovey dovey moment before the story ended. I know it's only my whimsical wish, but I hope someday I could see a longer version of this story.
