Sebastian Leodegrance was fated to bring about the world's end, his path irrevocably marked by the three scars etched across his left eye as proof of his unholy contract with Ardalas, the Evil God.

His insatiable thirst for power would have been enough to conquer all, even without the infernal blessing, but now not even the divine intervention of the Goddess could thwart his ambitions.

With purposeful strides, he marched toward Cassiopeia to claim the hand of the renowned Princess Ava Cassia, a woman whose veins coursed with the blood of greatness. But as he drew closer, he discovered that the Princess had been exchanged with her Lady in Waiting.

"Yes. I am the replacement. You have been fooled!"

"From now on, Isla, call me Elder Sister."

The person in front of her was the brightest constellation in the world. Ava Cassia... the Princess who was even prettier than the Nereids. But it was like looking in the mirror.

She looked exactly like her.

"Maybe the Goddess sent you to me so we can become Sisters. How about it, my dear Isla? Would you call me Sister?"

Her most cherished treasure; her Elder Sister, Ava.

"I'm sorry, Sister... this is the only way."

"You must replace me. Because if I bear his child... this world would perish..."

The Tyrant's Replacement Bride

For Kisara, those letters Lee Hi asked Kai to deliver to her one by one until she turned 18 were the only thing stopping Kisara from ending her life immediately. 


When the letters stopped, and their conversation ended, after she received the last one, she would let the toxin take her life. 


Yes, she knew the letters would stop the moment she became an adult in a few months. She counted the intervals and analyzed the content carefully. 


She knew from the format of the writing that it was supposed to end soon. She could somewhat see how long the ink had dried in the paper, to see that it was written around the same time last year. The letter was indeed written in bulk, all to be sent slowly across a year. 


Even though it was an airtight plan, she knew. She was prominent with Mana and could see subtle traces using her power, too. 


She knew from the start that Lee Hi... would soon die.
