She was never supposed to be part of his world. One wrong moment. One decision she never fully understood. And suddenly, her ordinary life turned into something she can't escape from. In Rheign's world, nothing is simple. Everything is controlled, calculated, and dangerous. He doesn't trust easily. He doesn't care easily. And he definitely doesn't let anyone get close without a reason. Cold. Silent. Unpredictable. He's the kind of person people avoid-not because he talks too much, but because he doesn't need to. And then there's her. A girl who was never meant to be there. Someone who doesn't understand the rules of his world, yet somehow becomes the center of it. "Stay behind me." Three words. Not soft. Not gentle. But somehow, they change everything. Because the more he tries to keep her away, the more she gets pulled into his reality-where secrets are buried deep, enemies don't show their faces, and safety is never guaranteed. She hates him for dragging her into this life. He hates himself for not letting her go. But in between danger, silence, and every unspoken truth- something starts to shift. Something neither of them can control. And in a world where trust is rare and love is a weakness... the person she can't stand might be the only one keeping her alive.

You were loved. The Beloved Little Princess, the servants coo as the little girl passes through the halls with her brothers, always attentive and protective. Your father, albeit busy behind his desk, always made time for you. However that all changed when your new mother was introduced, a step-sister following. She reminded you of a doll. She was bright and cheerful at first but since your brothers didn't accept her, and your father barely paid attention to her, she started to act differently. Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture. Little by little, with staged accidents which her daughter gladly played the part, their love, trust, and respect for you disappeared. The pair always played the victim, accusing you of not wanting them to be apart of the family. Years flew by with this torment, no matter how much your pleaded, begged them to realize that you would never do any of that. They never listened, and the breaking point came when you finally realized that nothing will ever change. It will always be her, not you. So, the first chance you got you left that house. Best decision you could ever make. The small cramped apartment might be a drastic change from your lavish bedroom, but you were away from them. You wanted to turn a new leaf in this small city and have a normal loving life. Who knew that you'd be living a life far from normal as a horror circus rolls into town and you catch their attention when you saved their quiet Pierrot. The love you so craved from family, he will give it to you, destroy anything that dares to snuff it out, and give you all that is his. Though, he might not be the only one...
