Ares Hellion-

I was the lowest paid Minister in the Court of the Void Emperor cos of the sins of my dead mother.

The rule was clear; keep my head low like a servant, take orders like a slave, and follow them like a dog.

Desires? Forbidden.

Lucia Valmont wasn’t supposed to catch my eye even in the slightest.

Hell, she wasn’t the type of woman a man like me should want.

But forbidden fruit they say is the sweetest, isn’t it?

I’m a monster who holds a smile on my face in the open but carry out the darkest missions in secret.

And Lucia?

She’s something deadlier than poison.

Lucia doesn’t smile. She ruins—heartlessly and mercilessly.

She’s the only female Minister in the court of the Void Emperor.

While I was payed low cos of my mother’s sins, Lucia doesn’t get paid at all cos of her father’s heavy sins.

We’re both getting punished for the sins’ of our parents, but still…

Somehow, we’ve never said a word to each other. I tried—made many attempts. They all failed.

She never looked at anyone who’s not the Emperor. She revered him like her perfect god.

She never saw me.

But i wasn’t planning to give up—i loved waiting for my time.

And it eventually came in form of an opportunity I didn’t expect.

On a dark, cold night, I found out Lucia’s top dangerous secret, and she found out mine—a violent collision we didn’t see coming.

With bloody blades to each other’s throats, our fates wagered.

Now she has to choose between becoming my close ally and target the Void Emperor with me, or we kill each other in the devouring cold.

Will it be blood? Or hearts alliance?

Find out…

Don’t dare miss this!
