Dominic, the Slayer who killed a dragon for the first time in a thousand years, and the hero who brought the war to an end. Yet instead of the rewards he had earned, the King appointed him as the personal knight of his concubine, Adelaide, to keep him under control.
But Adelaide carries a scandal of her own.
She now lives as the concubine of the very king who destroyed her homeland. And every knight who served as her personal guard before Dominic was punished simply for falling in love with her.
Everything about her stood in direct opposition to Dominic.
"Captain Dominic."
But the more often he met Adelaide, the more his world began to slowly unravel...
Everything he thought he knew was becoming harder and harder to grasp.
"Just because you don't know something exists doesn't mean it doesn't exist in this world."
---
Once, they had stood in the same place and thought completely different things.
He had thought of her as an unpleasant, vulgar woman, someone without pride or honor, someone utterly unworthy of being loved.
"...I was a fool, Adelaide."
But the whims of a young man in love are more fickle than any beast, and those old thoughts had now become more wretched than a withered garland of flowers.
'I've never met anyone as strong as her.'
She was a woman who deserved to be given every precious thing in the world, and even that would never be enough.
