If You Take the Enemy Prince as a Knight

“Be my sword.”

Sasha, the sixth imperial princess, is preparing a coup against her tyrannical father.

She encounters Regen, the prince of an enemy nation—and her first love—who has been taken captive. She offers him an undeniable contract:

In exchange for restoring his power, he must pledge loyalty as her knight.

And together, they must survive the brutal Imperial Succession Contest—a deadly game orchestrated by a mad emperor who seeks to kill his own daughters.

—

“You saved my life, Sasha. How should I repay you?”

“No repayment is necessary.”

“Why not?”

Just live. Stay by my side. That alone is enough of a battle.

But she couldn’t reveal her still-burning love.

So instead, she told a lie—hiding behind the memory of one of the sixty-seven brothers who had perished.

“Because… you resemble my dead brother.”

—

“Shall I undress you?”

Come to think of it, this made sense.

If I am to take responsibility, I should do this with my own hands.

“…Ha, Sasha.”

Regen let out a long breath—whether a sigh or a groan, she couldn’t tell.

He watched her in silence before suddenly lifting her crystal glass from the table and pressing it to his lips.

A murmur laced with curiosity brushed against her ears.

“It really is non-alcoholic.”
