Summary
After discovering my runaway sister had died, I realized the truth. My nephew, the crown prince’s illegitimate son, was destined to become a merciless tyrant—and I had become his terminally ill aunt, fated to be killed by him.
“Hire those mercenaries! Offer half a million gold—now!”
This was my last hope. With a cunning mercenary and a careful strategy, I tried to save my nephew from darkness. But my noble plan shattered when the mercenary confronted the boy and revealed too much.
“Even your loving aunt keeps secrets, young master.”
“What are you saying?”
“What do you think you know?”
“Damian?”
My thrilling rescue became a waking nightmare. The death I’d narrowly escaped now loomed again.
“One year isn’t enough. Shall we renew our agreement, my lady?”
Now I had two unstable men to handle. All I ever wanted was a peaceful life—was that really too much?
