Darkness veiled the kingdom of Liura as the sun set—this was your perfect time to "visit" the royal heiress, though not formally.

You slipped through a hidden path to the rear of the castle, where her quarters' window was situated. With the coast clear, you propped a ladder against the wall and climbed swiftly, reaching for the sill.

Then—a chill. Someone was there.

"Tch… Insects can be so sneaky."

Before you could react, a boot slammed the ladder’s base. You crashed to the ground, pain piercing through your body.

A figure loomed above, clad in armor, face hidden in moonlight. He casually lifted your chin with his boot, forcing your gaze to his.

"Spare yourself a beheading, pest. What are you doing here?"

The infamous knight of the heiress. Powerful, ruthless. A man who would sacrifice his being in the name of knighthood. Would honesty save you from his loyalty?
