Chapter 1

“Investigate the Seldian Ducal Family.”

Find signs of rebellion.

A secret order containing such meaning had been issued.

As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, Casian knelt on one knee and paid his respects.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

He, the Emperor’s loyal sword, moved immediately.

This day happened to be when the Seldian Princess was to marry Viscount Hetus.

Suspecting that they might exchange silent signals under the guise of the Princess’s wedding, Casian hastily spurred his horse.

But then.

“Ugh!”

As soon as they arrived at the Western Forest, Casian and the knights frowned.

Blood was everywhere.

Both people and horses were all covered in blood.

It was such a horrific scene that not a single intact corpse could be found.

“Are they all dead?”

It was when Casian was muttering quietly with a dejected face at the unexpected sight.

“Sir, there’s a survivor here!”

A knight discovered a collapsed woman.

“This person is…”

It was a familiar face.

A relationship where they knew each other by sight but had never spoken.

Evelyn Seldian.

The younger sister of the current Duke of Seldian and the emerald of high society.

Beautiful like a jewel and raised in a wealthy environment, society called her the Queen of the North.

As if proving those words, her green hair, like it held the morning dew, cascaded down long.

Her white skin, like finely ground sugar, was paler than usual.

Though she looked haggard now, her outstanding beauty could not be hidden.

There were wounds here and there, but rather, such appearance stirred pity.

A bride in a pure white dress meeting disaster on her way to meet the groom.

Had she made many enemies in her daily life?

While Casian was lost in thought, Evelyn’s eyelids twitched.

At her shallow moan, Casian hastily supported Evelyn’s upper body with his arm.

The moment the distance closed, a floral scent brushed his nose.

For an instant, Casian’s expression hardened. But as if nothing had happened, he immediately composed his expression and checked Evelyn’s condition.

Evelyn, who had been frowning as if having a nightmare, breathed weakly but audibly, then opened her eyes with difficulty.

And then.

“Son of a bitch.”

With those words, she fainted.

“…”

Silence fell at her clear voice.

Casian’s face stiffened, and the knights didn’t know what to do and couldn’t continue speaking.

The Emperor’s hound.

It was a mocking term for Casian in the North.

But to go beyond hound to son of a bitch.

“Should I abandon her?”

Strength entered the arm supporting Evelyn.

He looked ready to throw her to the ground at any moment.

But fortunately, that didn’t happen.

“You can’t! No matter what, she’s a lady!”

Because a brown-haired man who arrived late at the scene urgently stopped him. It was Hans, Casian’s aide.

“You want me to show chivalry to a lady who called me a son of a bitch?”

“You never know… she might be helpful for the investigation.”

[Investigate the Seldian Ducal Family.]

At Hans’s words, Casian frowned as the Emperor’s command came to mind.

Unable to find grounds to refute, Casian clicked his tongue and reluctantly carried Evelyn.

“What a troublesome woman.”

* * *

I was possessed. Into a romance fantasy.

The problem is I don’t know which romance fantasy I was possessed into.

Don’t call me stupid.

It hurts the feelings of stupid people who hear it.

To make an excuse, I’ve read so many romance fantasies that I can’t tell.

Right. To be honest, I did read various things, but I read them carelessly.

Anyway, setting that aside.

To explain my situation, I was working as an intern at a company when my boss nagged me into taking the wheel, and I crashed into an oncoming freight truck, taking a direct course to the afterlife.

“Huh?”

I thought I was definitely dead like that, but when I opened my eyes, I was possessed as a pretty lady in a white dress.

“Princess, what kind of earrings would you like? Since it’s a wedding, shall I bring diamonds?”

“Since the ceremony will be held at the Temple, sapphires for accent might be nice too!”

The woman reflected in the mirror was truly beautiful.

So much so that if a summer spirit were human, it might look like this.

She had the kind of appearance you’d believe belonged to a protagonist.

As I was endlessly admiring the appearance in the mirror.

“They’re coming soon!”

“There’s no time, Lady!”

“We must hurry!”

The maids who had been helping me dress suddenly grabbed my hands after hearing the knight’s words and rushed out.

I followed them outside in confusion, but strangely, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

“Why is no one around?”

“Well, you said you wanted to go separately!”

“I said I wanted to go separately?”

“Yes. We don’t have time for this! Please get in quickly!”

The maids roughly pushed me into the carriage.

Before I could even ask why, the coachman quickly drove the horses forward.

Knights armed in armor escorted the carriage while exchanging incomprehensible conversations.

The carriage only slowed down after twenty minutes had passed.

‘What on earth is this situation?’

Wasn’t I supposed to be going to meet my groom?

Why does it feel like we’re being chased by someone?

This should be a happy moment, but suddenly I felt something was strange.

The maids sitting across from me kept looking out the window anxiously.

“I think we lost them?”

“I think so too. Oh, Lady, there’s a resting place just a bit further ahead.”

“Okay. But what did we lose?”

“Those people, of course! You’re acting very strange today, Lady.”

“Are you feeling unwell?”

As suspicious gazes gathered on me, I gave an awkward smile and avoided the maids’ eyes.

“…Maybe I’m just tired.”

It would be nice if I knew something, but strangely, I have no memories about the owner of this body.

I let out a deep sigh in disappointment.

“Lady! Are you hurt somewhere?”

“Should we take a short rest?”

The maids stamped their feet anxiously, showing signs of nervousness.

“I’m fine. How much further to the temple?”

“We need to go for about two more hours.”

“Should I tell the coachman to stop the carriage?”

“No. By the way, my groom is…”

“Ah, He…”

Crash!

“Ugh!”

“Lady, are you alright?”

“What’s happening!”

Suddenly the carriage shook violently.

Losing my balance, I bumped my shoulder against the wall and let out a groan.

“Assassins have appeared!”

“Protect the Princess!”

Urgent shouts came from outside, indicating an attack had occurred.

Looking out the window, I saw masked assassins attacking the knights.

The knights tried their best to protect the carriage, but they fell one by one to the merciless blades.

Seeing this, the maids grabbed my hands and jumped out of the carriage.

We tried to run far away to escape the assassins, but.

“Found her! The Princess is here!”

A chilling blade touched my neck.

‘Am I really going to die?’

It’s already unfair that I possessed a novel I don’t even remember, but to die less than three hours after possessing it?

“Wait, let go of this! Let go!”

I tried to escape as the reality hit me belatedly, but it was useless.

The assassins who had dealt with the maids put heavy iron shackles on my hands and pointed their swords at me.

“Now it’s over.”

Just as death was before my eyes.

Bang!

An unknown burst of light enveloped my body and a huge explosion occurred.
