Summary
Manipulated my entire life in the guise of affection, I ended it all by slaying Adrian, the empire’s most feared swordmaster. Overwhelmed by guilt, I traveled back through time to undo my greatest error. But the unbelievable happened—the man I killed stood before me, offering to take me in as his own. I gained a father, brothers and sisters, and finally understood what real, unconditional family love felt like. I vowed to shield them with my very soul. For a short while, life was blissful… until *he* appeared, delivering a cold, stark choice: “Renounce Adrian. It is your sole chance for salvation.”
