After transmigrating into a book as an adopted daughter of the royal family, Ailuo knows all too well that, as the infamous witch's orphan on the continent, she will one day be exposed and surrounded by enemies until she is killed.
Her only chance is to find her destined holy knight, the one born to live for the sake of protecting her.
After an extensive search, a mixed-blood slave boy is finally brought before her.
Dressed in rags, he kneels in a magnificent palace, as lowly as an ant beneath the earth.
Ailuo needs his help, so she reaches out to him without hesitation, smiling like a flower in bloom.
"I've found you, my knight!"
The little princess smiles with pure innocence, her clear eyes shining like stars as she gazes at him with a tenderness untouched by the slightest impurity.
The boy says nothing. His long, slender hand hesitantly returns her grip, his fingertips trembling as if touching a treasure.
.
Everyone on the continent knows that the little princess of Delca has a perfect knight who, all on his own, shielded her from the people who sought to condemn her.
He has a stunning face and formidable strength... but most precious of all is his unwavering loyalty.
When he looks at the princess, his gaze is always restrained yet fervent, as if a growing vine were yearning desperately for the sun.
"Your Highness is my spear and my staff, the light of dawn in my darkness, the lighthouse upon a shadowed sea. You are the faith that guides me forward, and the entire meaning of my existence!"
He has bowed before her and said those words countless times.
Everyone praises his unwavering devotion, and Ailuo thinks so too. Once the conflict has died down, she decides to offer him his freedom.
But she never imagines that the man who has made such vows all this time will personally lock her in a cage that very day.
.
Since the day he met the princess, Samuel has prayed to the gods three times.
The first time, he only wished for her to smile without a care in the world, even though that smile was so sweet it drew far too many admirers to her.
The second time, he began to wish she would smile at him, even though her eyes were just as bright when she looked at others.
By the third time, his suppressed jealousy had grown wild and burst free. The most loyal knight had finally been twisted by desire into the most obsessive devil.
This time, he will keep her locked in his arms, allowing her to smile only at him.

# As usual, the male lead goes dark
# Super sweet, no angst. The male lead only darkens in expression. He's never cool for more than three chapters.
