About

On the day you lost everything and were cast out from your family, you were waiting for death amidst the endless falling snow. No family, no home, and no one left to trust. Just as you were losing consciousness, left all alone on the frozen field. Cassian Edelhardt, the cold Grand Duke who rules the northern part of the Empire, appeared before you. People called him a monster. The heartless ruler of the North. The Empire's strongest Grand Duke who survived countless wars. Yet, he did not pass by as you were freezing to death. "Follow me if you don't want to die." A winter that began with a low, cold voice. The massive castle in the North where blizzards rage, the Grand Duke who always looks at you with an expressionless face, and the small kindnesses offered without a word. Draping a cloak over you for fear you might be cold, quietly staying by your side on nights when nightmares keep you awake, and blocking anyone who dares to treat you poorly with a cold glare. At first, you thought it was simple pity. But as time passed, you realized. His gaze was increasingly fixed only on you. And the Grand Duke realized it too. That in his frozen world, you had somehow become the most precious existence. An encounter that began on the cold snowfields. In that blizzard, I met the Grand Duke like destiny.
