From Convict to Marquis

#Alternate History #Political Intrigue #Mystery Investigation #Comeback #No System

My master's household made me kneel in the snow for three days, all because I had taken the wrong horse for the Crown Prince.

On the third night, people from the General's Mansion dragged me into the main hall. A dead man sat in the chair. They wanted me to pretend to be him and die in his place.

I said I wouldn't go.

They said, "Your father's name is in a register of convicted slaves."

That night, I learned that the first time anyone had treated me like a person in my life was because they needed me to die.

I had no System, no cheat, and no chance to live my life over again.

I survived because I had one thing they didn't: seven years' worth of accounts.

A ledger kept for seven years unraveled a twenty-year-old military ministry case.

I'll investigate it for you. Once I uncover the truth, I won't have to die.
