Siren—— mystifying, beautiful, enchantingly dangerous. A single melody and you are a goner. But despite the dangers humans still looked for them, tears of siren were like magical pearls with powers beyond the understanding of mere mortals, their blood was like a mine of rubies, hair as fine as the softest Pima could be sold for thousands of dollars but beyond everything else that was sought was their melodies that could heal any wound and bring peace to even the wildest beast.

Ginevra Harlow, Ginny for short, was an extremely beautiful lady with a personality that was too cold but even then her scent alone was enough to drive the males around her crazy, but there was something exceptionally wrong about her, she never spoke a word to the males of the village,she wouldn’t look them in the eye and always kept her secluded from the villagers. Some say that she was driven mad by her father’s curse that wouldn’t heal no matter what she did, some say that it was because of her mother who mysteriously disappeared. 

Ginny however never let the rumours get to her because she had a secret to keep. 

But things go terribly wrong when her father’s curse relapses for the worst and the landlord threatens to drive her away with her sick father. 

She had no choice left but to enter the house of Duke Terranova, an archmage born from the affairs of the Emperor and a Holy Saintess as she strikes a deal with him. Unfortunately, for her things didn’t go as planned because despite all the cautions that she took against the Duke, he wasn’t willing to let her go.

“ I fulfilled my end of the deal, now you have to give me what you promised, Duke.”said Ginny as she glared at him, trying to calm herself as Akris pushed her against the bed. “You cannot order me around and nor can you stop me from meeting other men!”

Twirling a strand of her hair, Akris kissed her blonde locks. “ You promised me your life, Ginevra. There are no take backs you see.” Kissing her fully on the lips, Akris pulled back before rubbing the pad of his thumb on her lower lip. “ But if you want to leave then you can, but remember this—— every time you try to leave me there will be one innocent one losing his life.”

The Duke’s Temptress

Only then did Akris realise that someone else was around, he raised his head and looked at the old man who was dressed in a fraying brown suit and looked like he has been taken out of a hundred years old caskets. His brows scrunched up slightly because he was too worried about Ginny, he didn't see the old man sitting behind her but now that he was seeing him, he couldn't help but think that something was wrong with him, because no matter how he looked at him, this wasn't how a man was supposed to look like.

" He is my father, my lord." Ginny hurriedly blocked her father from Akris's sight, he could see the fear and trepidation in her eyes as if she was worried that he will look down on her father.

An annoying glimmer flashed in Akris but he said nothing, he only took one last look at her father and asked lightly,  " Is he cursed?"
