After being exploited to the limit, ‘Jung Suhyun’ was labeled as a useless guide.
He lost all meaning in life and made an extreme decision, but for some reason, he reincarnates into a novel and begins a new life.
This time, he’s a supporting character named ‘Eddie Royson,’ shackled by family obligations, just like in his past life.
“I believe you’ll do well.”
Tasked with assassinating ‘Louis,’ the abandoned illegitimate child of the emperor and a vessel of a curse, Eddie is sent to the North. Vowing never to live a life of sacrifice for others again.
“I don’t need you, so leave.”
However, seeing Louis being treated worse than livestock, Eddie decides to help him live like a human being before he meets the main shou of the original story.
“What are you? Why are you doing this to me?”
“As I mentioned earlier, I am Eddie Royson, and from this moment, I am Your Highness’s servant.”

“Eddie.”
Louis, in a moment of joy, couldn’t help but say the name of the one who had become the most important person in his life.
“Hold me.”
‘I feel like I’m going to cry.’
His heart was overwhelmed. This was also a new emotion for him, all thanks to Eddie.
‘I’m so glad you came to kill me.’
