She was born to be an empress. Always wearing golden dresses and beautiful hairpins. But a series of unfortunate events led her to lose everything she had, even her rank as the Crown Princess.
She was abandoned and kicked out of the palace to the dangerous roads of the town, having nothing but a reticule with some clothes and ten silver coins.
Seeking for revenge and wanting to get her place to the palace back, she left behind her royal nature and did things she would have never thought of doing if she was still in the palace's grounds.
And one of those things was a deal.
A deal between her and a man whose name, not only her but the whole kingdom felt uneasy upon hearing.
A deal that could help her take her throne back.
All she wanted was justice and revenge.
