Gwyneth Blanche von Lexington.
⠀
That was her name. Or at least, that was the name of the person that she was pretending to be.
⠀
Vivian was only a commoner who became a princess overnight because she bore a striking resemblance to Gwyneth—the real Princess of Caellimont who went missing for months.
⠀
Some people claim that she was ambushed, while others claim that the empire was simply hiding her. However, no one knows the actual reason why she suddenly went missing.
⠀
They say the prince, who was rumored to be a caring brother of Gwyneth, fell sickly and could not perform too many of his duties due to his grief over her disappearance. And the discovery that the future emperor was incapable and unworthy deeply enraged the people of the empire.
⠀
Which is why they took Vivian here, to temporarily act as his sister for him.
⠀
But what happens if she was caught?
⠀
“Claude, your sister is back.”
⠀
Vivian looked up to see a handsome young man in front of her, her hands behind her back in nervous anticipation of their first meeting. However, he didn’t say anything nor did he move. He just stared at her with his cold blue eyes, as if a predator was observing the prey which has been offered to him.
⠀
What could go wrong?
