Dominic, a hero who led the end of the war and the slayer who killed a dragon for the first time in a thousand years. Due to the king's checks and balances, instead of receiving a reward, he is appointed as the bodyguard of the imperial concubine, Adelaide. However, there are scandals surrounding Adelaide: That she lives as the concubine of the king who destroyed her own country. That all her previous bodyguards were punished for falling in love with her. Everything about her stood in direct opposition to Dominic. “Captain Dominic.” Yet, as his encounters with Adelaide grow more frequent, his world begins to slowly twist... Things he thought he knew vanish into uncertainty. “Just because you don’t know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the world.” * * * Once upon a time, they sat in the same place thinking different thoughts. That she was an unpleasant, vulgar woman devoid of pride or honor, undeserving of love. “...I was foolish, Adelaide.” But the whims of a man in love are worse than a beast, and those thoughts have now become more wretched than shattered flower stems. 'I have never seen anyone as strong as you.' She was a woman for whom even giving her everything precious in the world wouldn't be enough.
