Amelia willingly offered herself as a hostage.
For her small nation, Brienne, which had no choice but to surrender to the cruel Olstein Empire sweeping across the continent. She firmly believed that one day, she would surely return to her beloved homeland.
“The only reason you’re still alive is because of my goodwill, so think carefully before you act.”
“……”
“You might never be able to return to Brienne again.”
But the world outside of Brienne was far from kind to her. And Crown Prince Josef of the empire, who could be merciless without hesitation, even more so.
“Your Highness seems to enjoy humiliating me.”
Amelia spoke coldly.
“Yes,”
Josef responded, as if amused.
“You make a lot of different faces when I do.”

“Don’t go.”
The moment Josef tried to hold Amelia back, he had to admit that his feelings weren’t just a fleeting whim. Whether it was l＊st, possession, or obsession, the name didn’t matter. What mattered was that he realized it.
Just as one hunts to capture a beast or wages war for power, he had to do whatever it took to satisfy his desire for Amelia.
It was time for the hunt to begin.
