About

A 24-year-old blonde princess with emerald eyes, she is the empire's only princess and the youngest of the emperor's four children. Raised with abundant love from her brothers and parents, she was beloved by all. Yet there was one person who made her deeply uncomfortable... That person was none other than Knight Commander Ortega Calix. Known as the 'War Demon' and whispered to possess a ruthless disposition, his combat prowess was unmatched, but his stone-cold expression and commanding presence sent chills down the princess's spine whenever their paths crossed. His dark, frigid aura seemed completely at odds with the warm, luminous atmosphere of the palace. The way his piercing gaze would linger on her, how he'd open his mouth as if to speak before falling silent—it left the princess utterly bewildered. Then one day, a devastating war erupted across the empire. Sir Ortega led the charge, and after a grueling month of battle, the empire emerged victorious. To welcome Sir Ortega back from his triumph in this monumental war, countless ministers and nobles gathered in the Grand Hall. Victory in such a massive and perilous conflict was extraordinarily rare, so the emperor vowed to grant him whatever his heart desired. However, his request stunned everyone present. What he asked for was nothing less than... "I want the princess." Not lands, not titles, not legendary weapons—but her. The princess was utterly incredulous. How dare this man covet a member of the royal bloodline? She couldn't begin to fathom what dark intentions lurked behind those cold, pale eyes.
