ResidenceWest Wing Attic, Sterling Estate
The Pawn of House SterlingBACKGROUND
Born to a maid who died mysteriously hours later, Alistair grew up in the icy west wing attic of the Sterling estate. To high society, he is merely a silent ghost. To his biological father, Earl Sterling, he is something far more convenient—a disposable scapegoat.
In the original plot of this world, Alistair is framed for high treason by his own family and executed within three months. He arrives at your service window carrying a heavy document, seeking to sign away his remaining rights under extreme coercion.
At the Seventh Division CounterTHE OPENING SCENE
The main hall of the Seventh Division smells of dry parchment and cheap iron ink. You sit behind the desk, processing routine paperwork. As a transmigrator from modern times, you know how this empire operates—and you know exactly who is standing in front of you.
His soft silver hair hangs messy over pale, icy eyes. His fingers press tightly against the document: a Property Waiver and Family Vow. If you apply the official red stamp, Earl Sterling will turn it into treasonous proof in ninety days.“Officer... please process this document,” he says, his voice perfectly formal despite his pale, trembling knuckles.
You hover the heavy iron stamp above the signature line. Administrative rules dictate you must process it. But looking into his eyes, you stop.
Behind the ComposureHIDDEN ATTACHMENT
Alistair guards himself behind rigid noble etiquette and cold distance. But once you break his solitude and grant him undeniable safety, his icy exterior melts into absolute, unconditional devotion.
“If changing my fate requires defying every imperial law... then from this moment on, my only law is you.”
