Summary
In the Empire, a puppet Empress is controlled by the Grand Duke who crowned her. By day, Enoch Roark appears as her most devoted servant, earning the scorn of nobles for his influence. But when darkness falls, their roles reverse. Powerless and pleading, the Empress begs for mercy beneath his relentless gaze. “I was wrong, please forgive me!” she cries, to which he whispers, “Tell me the truth—do you really hate this?” A story of obsession, submission, and ruin.
