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

Seeing a horrible hellspawn of a demon feeding a seemingly angelic, ethereal woman was something unexpected. But maybe their life had come to this, and all the envoys had accepted it. 


The woman, as they knew, was also forced to become his bride, but once again, who would be crazy enough to fight with the demon himself? Now, it was all survival. She might've fallen to his side long ago because of the limited choice she had. 


Yet it was still bizarre to see how he treated her so well. Maybe the demon was still a man after all. And who could blame him when the empress looked like that? Now, he had achieved everything and could even usurp the world. She was all his. 


As usual, Sebastian refused to eat a bite. Isla wondered if alcohol was the only thing Sebastian was comfortable enough to consume in front of so many people because of his eating disorder. At the same time, seeing him not eat made him look even more inhuman. 


Maybe his disorder had some perks after all.
