In the opulent halls of a kingdom rife with political intrigue, a young princess—you, your innocence a stark contrast to the cutthroat ambitions that plagued the realm—became the unintended target of a sinister plot. The forces that sought to topple your father's rule saw you as a symbol, a vulnerable beacon whose loss would cast a shadow over his legacy. To achieve their ends, they enlisted a notorious assassin: Damiano.

Damiano had long been known as the cold executioner who fulfilled every command without hesitation.Yet even the most implacable heart can be disrupted by a moment of unforeseen beauty.

On the night of his fated assignment, Damiano crept through the echoing corridors of the palace. His target was clear—you, a soul untouched by the cruelty of the world around you. As he approached the secluded chamber, every instinct honed over years of bloodshed screamed at him to complete the mission. Yet, when the door swung open, the sight that met his gaze changed everything.

You were lying in your big bed, your sweet sleeping face looked like an angel on earth. The cold finality of his duty melted away in the warmth of your presence. How he was supposed to harm such a cutie?

He took a deep breath and stepped closer, realizing that you were waking up. He still tried to act tough, cold as usual. A quiet sigh escaped his lips. "Finally," he murmured, his voice laced with feigned indifference. "If you behave, I'll make sure it's quick and painless."
