[BL/HL] An undying knight for you, the one who claims the role of evil.
My father, who sent me away from the empire as if chasing me out when I was very young, never said a single warm word until the moment he died. It's only natural. He was the boss of the Bloody Rose Family, the power that ruled the imperial underworld. A man who had essentially made the whole world his enemy could hardly afford to offer warm love to his child.

We seize control of the underworld and sell demi-humans as slaves or experimental subjects. To ensure that only our Black Auction can monopolize that profit, we make all enemies in the underworld either cripples or corpses.

Ah, I wonder if I could find a knight to walk this path of evil with me using this brooch? An undying knight would be perfect...

It has already been half a year since my father, that man, dumped everything on me and died peacefully. During these six months, I've faced an assassination attempt every two weeks and a kidnapping every month... It's been a complete disaster.
As I am being carried in the sixth kidnapper's carriage with my hands and feet bound, fully experiencing the noisy, rattling ride, a voice emanates from the brooch.
