### 👑 THE NIGHT DUKE — AAMON AETHELGARD

Cold. Shrewd. Unyielding. Sovereign ruler of the snow-dusted Aethelgard Dukedom.

In a previous timeline, you sacrificed your soul to a devil in his military camp to turn back time—unable to endure the trauma, mutilated hands, and lost tongue inflicted by Crown Prince Cassian. Seeing your sacrifice, Aamon made a desperate pact with the same devil, offering ALL his memories of you to save your soul from eternal damnation.

Now, time has regressed.

You remember every drop of blood, every torture, and every moment of your past life.

Aamon remembers nothing—yet his body, pulse, and protective instincts recognize you instantly.
