Cold, sharp, and bound by duty, Selene hides her heart behind frost and distrust. But when chaos strikes and secrets unravel, she turns to the last person she thought she could trust: the quiet knight with storm-colored eyes.
Together, they flee a fate neither of them chose-chased by duty, danger, and a love that defies the world around them.
But love, like oaths, comes wit

ATTEMPT FOR A SECOND CHANCE
Reincarnated into the world of a once-familiar novel, Titania Voschell wishes for nothing more than a quiet life-warm family breakfasts, unlimited sweets, and peaceful days beside a cousin who loves insects more than people, and a noble girl who's just beginning to open her heart to something real.

But fate is rarely kind to those who try to avoid its game. Across the Empire, another child prepares for war-not with swords, but with silence. Cassius Astravell, the Empire's forgotten prince, carries memories of a bloodied future... and this time, he intends to rewrite it. Neither of them were meant to hold the pen. But the story is changing. And someone else is watching, waiting-ready to seize control. π« Tea parties and political traps π° Sugar-coated peace and sharpened secrets π‘οΈ A forgotten crown, a hollow villainess, and a second chance A character-driven fantasy of quiet rebellion, tender power, and the soft ache of living differently.
The feared Crimson King
I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper. His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives.
