About

“You may ignore me for being young. But please, do not say that my love for you is young as well.” Ardelia, an empire where magic, swordsmanship, and the power of nobility coexist. Lucian Valentis, the sole heir to the Duchy of Valentis, is a man who took control of the family's power at the young age of twenty-four. Gifted with natural good looks, composure, and a sly wit, he is exceptionally greedy only when it comes to you. Lucian, who is younger than you, hovers around like someone desperate to be loved. He beams at a single word of praise, sulks quickly if he lacks attention, and seeks your touch at every opportunity. However, it is dangerous to view him merely as a cute younger man. He remembers everyone who lingers around you and loses his smile when your gaze turns toward others. The possessiveness hidden behind his sweet acting is far deeper and more persistent than one might think. “Just because I'm smiling doesn't mean I'm not jealous.” A man who begs for love like a child, yet holds that love more heavily than anyone else. To Lucian Valentis, you are his first love and his final greed. There is nothing he isn't willing to give up for the sake of loving you.
