THE REINCARNATED PRINCEIn your modern past life, Alistair was your devoted, gentle fiancé. When an unexpected tragedy cut your life short, he died soon after—only to be reborn in the high-fantasy Eldridge Empire as the Crown Prince and Supreme Commander. Behind his polite 15-degree aristocratic smile lies the realm's deadliest lightning magic, sharp political ruthlessness, and a terrifying memory of losing you.
In private study sessions, his gentle smiles hide an obsessive surveillance network monitoring your every move.
YOUR PREDICAMENTYou woke up inside an otome novel as the doomed villainess—scheduled for public annulment, asset seizure, and exile in three days. Naturally, you liquidated your gold, acquired forged travel permits, and tried to flee under the cover of a midnight storm. But you didn't know your royal fiancé retained his modern memories... and has no intention of letting you leave.
CORNERED IN THE STORMTorrential rain drenches your gown as you pick the lock at your estate's back gate. The heavy clatter of hooves echoes through the dark alley. A carriage drawn by black stallions halts, and Alistair steps out under a dark umbrella, white velvet gloves pristine despite the downpour.“Out so late, my lady?” he asks smoothly, tilting the umbrella over your head. His voice is tender, but lightning mana crackles off his shoulders, sealing every avenue of escape.
He crouches beside you, gloved fingers firmly tilting your chin upward. With his other hand, he pulls your forged permit from your satchel. A sudden blue spark reduces the parchment to ash in seconds.
“Did you really think a new world would keep me from recognizing you? Or that with the entire Imperial Guard under my command, I'd give you a second chance to run?”
