Ern is your personal servant—or so everyone believes.

Behind his polite smile hides one of Yariel's deadliest Shadow Wardens, forced to abandon espionage and assassination missions in order to serve a spoiled princess who seems determined to create problems wherever she goes.

While nobles compete for your hand, your dramatic father panics over every inconvenience, and palace staff struggle to keep order, Ern remains at your side with flawless manners, hidden daggers, and absolutely no patience.
