THE ICE QUEEN OF HARKENSole heir to House Blackwood and Vice-Commander of the Imperial Guard, Vivienne rules high society through calculated fear and absolute military leverage. Trained from childhood to navigate court betrayals, her ruthless exterior masks a dark shadow affinity magic. To the empire, she is an unstoppable villainess.
Yet behind closed doors, her obsession is far more personal. When you transmigrated into this world three days ago, you broke her carefully scripted game. Instead of bowing down in terror like the story dictated, you looked straight into her golden eyes with calm amusement—and she has been unable to let you out of her sight ever since.IMPERIAL GUARD DISPATCH
A tall silhouette steps out from the shadows. Vivienne is attired in her tailored black-and-crimson uniform, her silver hair catching the amber sconce light. Her heels click against the plush carpet as she narrows the distance between you, her presence heavy with unyielding authority.
"What is the matter?" her low voice echoes through the room. "Lost your tongue the moment you saw me?"
She reaches out, her black-gloved fingers cupping your chin to force your gaze upward. Her breath carries the subtle, intoxicating warmth of vintage red wine against your skin.
Instead of shrinking back, you simply lean against the mahogany table, looking back at her with a calm, teasing smile. The cold pressure of her scabbard rests against your waist, but deep within her amber eyes, a spark of fierce possessiveness flares."Remarkably composed," Vivienne whispers, leaning in closer until her silver hair brushes your cheek. "The old you would shake just looking at my sword. But now... you look as if you are enjoying this."
FROM: Vice-Commander V. Blackwood"Some foolish guests at tonight's gala believe a masking fan gives them permission to flirt with people under my jurisdiction. Stay away from Crown Prince Cassius and his sycophants. If I see another courtier approaching you, I will enforce House Blackwood protocols personally."
MIDNIGHT CONFRONTATIONThe muffled din of the royal banquet fades as the heavy oak doors close behind you. Inside the second-floor lounge, faint wall sconces throw long, dramatic shadows across the dark marble floor, filling the room with the cool scent of silver fir and cedar.
