Grace, who has endured humiliation and misfortune with the sole determination to survive.
She gave up her life as a noble lady and became a librarian, living each day quietly and diligently.
Then, one day, a man appears before her—Karl von Valles.
He proposes a contract, claiming he can help her achieve what she desires.
“I cannot accept it.”
“That makes it your 98th rejection already.”
All she wants is to live a peaceful and quiet life.
But the crown prince keeps interrupting her rest.
“Grace Blodin.”
He softly called her name.
Somehow, it felt like he was the one who was hurt—but surely that was just her imagination.
“Why are you rejecting me so persistently?”
As he slowly leaned closer to her face,
Grace unconsciously bit her lower lip.
Is he seriously attacking with his looks now?
“Even so, I still cannot accept it.”
Can’t you please just leave me alone?
