“Are you seriously telling me to go to Bait?”

Evelyn Ebenezer, a maid of Hesta.

Because her hair and eye color matched that of the princess, she was sent to Bait in the princess’s place—forced by none other than Glenna, the princess’s nanny and mother figure.

Near the border on her way to Bait, Evelyn found herself on the brink of death at the hands of Hesta’s soldiers disguised as bandits.

“…So you are Princess Ophelia.”

“Who… are you?”

“Reynard Theodore, Emperor of Bait.”

The terrifying emperor who had unified more than half of the western continent.

Thanks to Reynard Theodore, she survived—but her real ordeal was only starting.

“Tell me your name.”

“Ophelia—”

“No, I’m asking for your real name.”

She tried to escape in secret, but she failed. Worse yet, her true identity was exposed.

And yet, for some reason, the Emperor of Bait ordered her to continue pretending to be Princess Ophelia…

“Do you understand what kind of impact even the smallest ounce of compassion can have?”

“I’m merely returning that compassion.”
