On-going
“This year has been the worst.”
“Today, for the first time, I agree with the rumors.”
After the chaotic engagement ceremony, Serena finally finds liberation from the crown prince! Saying goodbye to the past life of being controlled by others, Serena welcomes exciting moments.
The freedom she felt while her mischievous fourteen-year-old brother was away at war was incredibly sweet. She doesn’t want to wither away in the palace, tied to the shackles of marriage.
However, the crown prince who reappeared in front of her, the one who had only been eyeing the annulment of their engagement, seems a bit peculiar.
“I haven’t forgotten you for a single day.” The crown prince, returning after six years, had shed all traces of his youth and become a mature man. “I cannot be an obedient crown princess or an elegant empress.”
“There’s no one else who speaks to me as fiercely as you do.”
He towered over her, his gaze penetrating. “Do you resent my indifference?” The heat emanating from the approaching crown prince made her head spin. “Serena Astel, I’ve come to reclaim the vows of our engagement.”
