Rumors of every kind were whispered about Ashford's infamous Black Knight, his all encompassing cruelty, his frozen heart, the twisted means by which he found pleasure.

So when Nan found him and was neither distant, silent nor looking anywhere but directly at him, Ashford's Black Knight began to stumble over the oddity of this girl. Her fearlessness, her honesty, her intelligence, even her unassuming beauty held him captivated. But how could a simple beggar girl be so many things? Who was this woman that held his attention, or more importantly who had she been before coming to Ashford?

I couldn't help but utter, seeing the poor woman tremble like a rat in front of a cat. "I am the Emperor of this kingdom, Catrinsa, and you are a gift of reconciliation given to me by your country, Irennia." He stretched out a hand and took one of my curls in his finger, smiling coldly. "So behave sweetly, as a gift should." After releasing my hair, he turned around, and walked away.
