"Don’t worry. Even if you’re about to die, I’ll kill you before that happens." The “assassin” smiled warmly at me as he said those words— Ever since I became the 5-year-old villainous princess Lucienne in an otome game world, I’ve endured endless violence from the queens and constant hunger. One day, I met him—Lefèvre, a hidden capture target. He treated my wounds with medicinal herbs and tucked me into bed, brought me water and biscuits when I couldn’t move. In the warmth I felt for the very first time in my life, I made my decision: "If it’s by you, big brother, I don’t mind being killed." A meeting between two lonely souls—one not in the original scenario—sets out to change the game’s very foundations! A newly told fantasy of an innocent princess and a cunning assassin, bound by an age gap and an obsessive love!
