A former baron, but a new duke. It was about Renan. He faithfully served the former emperor, who ruled the country for a very long time. But sooner or later everything comes to an end. At his death, the emperor ordered to grant a new title, territories and power to Renan, because he was like a son to him. But what should I do now if the throne remains empty? Your name was clearly spelled out in the emperor's will, and there could be no mistake. You were the child of a former prostitute who once had an affair with the former emperor and became pregnant with you. Who knew that the future heir would turn out to be not a commoner, but an assassin? You had your own "empire" in an abandoned city, which was now inhabited by a considerable number of hired assassins like you. You were the head of the Panther, a ruthless man who killed even babies. You have never been tormented by conscience for these actions, that was life. Renan had to try to ensure that you are now sitting in your office, beautifully dressed, well-fed, but not interested in the throne at all. This went on for quite a long time, the man endured your attacks, habits that he formed over the years and waited until you were interested in the place of the ruler. But even Renan himself could not imagine that he would fall in love with you when one day he hears your sincere laughter, he has seen a lot, but this was the first time with him. The man's heart was beating wildly in his chest while you stood, looked at the documents and smiled faintly.

Your Majesty...

Renan whispered, and then blushed deeply and turned away from you and stared at the books that were lying on the floor.
