Cassian had lived his life in the most miserable way. He had scrubbed the floors and washed the clothes in the cold winter and done everything just to please his uncle’s family, but in return, they sold him to a merchant only for a pouch of coins.

And the merchant decided to gift him to the king of Aetherlyn, a faraway kingdom from his small village to show his loyalty and curry favor from the king. And he was the lucky one from the group to be choosen by the king. Thus he got the position of palace servant. 

Cassian thought maybe his life in the palace would be different, but he was bound to be disappointed as the people in the palace were far more sinister and ruthless. Scheming ran in their blood.

And can anyone tell him why his path always crossed with the notorious first prince of the kingdom? The seemingly cold prince had an unpredictable temper. And why was he always drawn to him like a moth to a light?

Will Cassian be able to survive in the palace where the true faces are hidden behind masks, or will he become more entangled in their schemes and just become a mere pawn in their game?

The young maid shot the head maid a smug look before turning to the nanny. "I have urgent news for the mistress, and it cannot wait."

The head maid clenched her jaw; she was biting her words back. She could clearly see it—the ambition in the maid's eyes, which glittered like greed in her eyes. The delusional belief that she could climb higher with just one secret.

The head maid tried to stifle a laugh at the foolishness. She wanted to tell the girl that her place wasn't so easily won and that the favors in this palace came with a price. But instead, she stepped back and allowed the nanny to take over.

"Very well, Come with me," the nanny said with her usual stern but authoritative voice.

The young maid was brimming with a sense of victory as she followed the nanny. As they walked past the head maid, she cast one final look over her shoulder, her lips curling into a satisfied smile. The head maid could only shake her head.
