“I intend to keep this girl as my mistress.” It has been three years since Sienna became Empress. Betrothed to Crown Prince Arnold since childhood, she devoted herself entirely to supporting him as he rose to the throne and became Emperor. Throughout it all, Sienna held herself to the strict standards expected of an empress, yet even now, the two still had no children. Her trusted lady-in-waiting, Emma, often speaks of her wish to remain unmarried and dedicate her life to her work. Each time she hears those words, Sienna finds herself wondering: If I had simply been born the daughter of an ordinary noble family, could I have lived that freely as well? And just as such thoughts begin to linger in her heart, Arnold suddenly appears before her, hand in hand with a charming young noblewoman, calmly delivering a declaration that shatters the quiet order of the palace.

Leite, the daughter of a frontier marquis who proudly calls herself a "heinous noble lady" firmly believes she is hated by the common people. One day, in order to obtain bodyguards who would never betray her, she impulsively purchases a group of injured male slaves brought in by a slave trader. To earn their loyalty, she uses rare healing items to treat their wounds and declares that she will provide them with money and housing. Instantly, Leite wins their admiration. Though she sees herself as a villainess, in reality, she's unknowingly saving people and gaining the trust of the populace. Then, it's discovered that among the slaves she bought are the first prince—rumored to have been killed in a revolution—and defeated soldiers... (Sana Scans)
