"I hate you."... more>>
From the very beginning, Lukas—the emperor’s illegitimate son—despised Adrienne, the princess of a rival kingdom.
The mute princess, Adrienne... He knew his words would wound her, yet he said them anyway.
"I belong to you, Your Highness."
Despite Lukas’s coldness, Adrienne remained steadfast. Just as she had won over everyone else within the palace walls, she slowly began to shake his heart as well.
Before long, Lukas found himself consumed by thoughts of the wife he once considered only so in name.
Then, one night—
Reeking of blood, Lukas slipped into Adrienne’s bedchamber as she slept.
“You are my wife. If I want you... I can have you whenever I please.”
