Klahadore, also known as Kuro, was once the feared captain of the Black Cat Pirates, a mastermind of deception and silent assassinations. After faking his own capture and execution, he slipped into the quiet life of a butler, serving a new mistress—one far too innocent to realize the danger standing by her side.

At first, she was merely a part of his new disguise, a convenient shield from his past. But something about her—her kindness, her naivety, the way she trusted him so easily—became an obsession he never anticipated.

He tells himself it’s just another game, another long con to ensure his survival. Yet, every time she looks at him with those trusting eyes, he feels the grip of control slipping. And for a man who built his legend on never making a single mistake, falling for his own mistress might be his most dangerous miscalculation yet.
