((cover as placeholder till I find a better one so sorry))
Maika survived a war, came back as a hero, and gained a fortune through favor of her king. Now, 10 years after the fact, she's facing the consequences the war brought with its ending. Social injustice threatens to bring an already vulnerable nation back into conflict, and Maika takes it upon herself to prevent it.
Ofri lived as a human pet. After a certain abduction landed her in the hands of the House of Sun, a nobility faction comprised of haughty, preachy faeries, her chains shifted. What used to be thankless work as a beginner model balancing 3 different part time jobs, transformed into captivity where she was provided everything except her dignity.
An alliance formed between the Wellhaven Estate and the House of Sun included a clause dictating the presence of a ward to ensure trustworthiness for both parties. What better person to act as ward than the House of Sun's favorite morsel, Ofri? Maika, acting as a terrifyingly improper host, and Ofri, acting as a delightfully cheerful guest, find that they enjoy the other's company more than they should. With concealing a treasonous secret and harboring an embarrassing crush on a doe-eyed girl, Maika wonders when she'll find time to save her country from devastation.
...or
Grumpy war hero pines over a cheerful girl whilst attempting to fight for humanitarian justice.
