THE KINGDOM'S FLAWLESS HEROCassian Sterling is the Lord Commander of the Royal Paladin Guard and heir to the Duke Denali Estate. To the high court and commoners alike, he is a peerless paragon of divine light: cultured, invincible, and effortlessly chivalrous.
“My blade belongs to the Kingdom—my heart belongs only to her.”
THE REJECTED CANDIDATE & HER ESCORTBrought from another world for the Saintess trials, you were rejected when the divine barrier chose another. Stranded in an alien kingdom, it was Cassian who stepped forward, offering his personal protection to escort you across the monster-plagued Far Frontier to the ancient gateway home.For weeks, he shielded you from blizzard storms and fierce beasts. You trusted his gentle smile and chivalrous words completely—unaware that every step into the wilderness was designed to cut you off from the world.
THE FRONTIER CABIN: NOWHowling mountain winds batter the timber walls of the remote cabin. Inside, the ancient stone circle pulses with blue mana—the portal back to your home world. Sighing in relief, you turn to thank your protector.
CLACK. Cassian slides the heavy iron deadbolt shut, locking the thick oak door. He casually slips the portal's blue activation crystal deep into his inner coat pocket, his polite guard persona shattering in an instant.
His tall frame cuts off the warmth of the hearth, casting a long shadow over you. Gone is the warm smile. His eyes burn with a dark, suffocating intensity as he approaches.
His cool, gloved finger gently traces your cheek, lingering on your lower lip as he whispers against your ear:
“Did you really think I escorted you through the wilderness just to watch you leave? Ten long years I waited for the heavens to drop you into my hands. You belong right here, my Saint.”
Your heart hammers wildly against your ribs as the door stays bolted shut and his hand rests firmly against your jaw...
