Summary
Celestia, a forgotten girl from Golddina’s back alleys, possesses a unique gift: the power to dispel magic. Yet, she believes her ability is worthless, choosing instead to pour her efforts into supporting Serengevan, the man she loves and who promised her a future. But promises shatter, and love turns to ash when Serengevan brutally betrays her, selling her into slavery.
Trapped in an inescapable nightmare, Celestia’s world crumbles. Just as all hope seems lost, a mysterious, ailing nobleman appears. Desperate to survive, Celestia offers him a dangerous proposition: she can cure his affliction. His chilling gaze and the whispers of his name send shivers down her spine, but survival is her only goal.
Her gamble pays off, landing her not in freedom, but within the opulent, yet terrifying, walls of the imperial palace. Her savior reveals himself to be none other than Van, the infamous Emperor of the Burg Empire—a man known throughout the land as the ‘Red-Eyed Psychopath.’ Now, Celestia finds herself bound to the very tyrant she sought to escape, forced into a role as his subject. Can a girl with a ‘useless’ power navigate the treacherous court of a mad emperor and survive? Uncover the secrets of the Burg Empire and Celestia’s fate. Read chapter 1 now!
