She was forgotten at the age of nine and beheaded at the age of nineteen.
Elvira Osterland, the seventh princess of the kingdom, lives in vain every day.
When the chain passed through her neck, the devil handed her a contract: the souls of seventy-seven evil men, in exchange for her walking down the beheading platform alive.
She agreed.
Not because of bravery. She has lost her fear since she was nine years old.
——She is born cold-blooded. The devil chose her for this very reason.
Three years later, in the snowy plains of the north.
"Baron Eden Vilar" led three thousand cavalry to attack the city, with human heads hanging on the saddles. The soldiers respected him for being ruthless and decisive, and the princes feared him for wielding a sword and dropping it.
No one knows that beneath that ever-calm mask is a dead man who is repaying his debts.
No one saw the old beheading mark around her neck.
——
This is not a story about a princess in trouble and a prince saving her.
This is the story of a person who is not born to love, who uses calculation to take back everything, but is taught what love is by a gentle person.
Three years ago, she knelt on the execution platform and waited to die.
Three years later, she stood in the political hall, her black hair flowing down, and all the nobles in the room became speechless.
"My name is not Aiden Villar."
She is the King of Osterland.
