Summary
“Choose me.”
“For what?”
“Make me your royal husband.”
Lete Arbei became queen, but throughout her life she was treated like a puppet ruler by Duke Albun Abihi, the man who held all the real power.
In the end, the duke killed her.
But after her death, she returned to the moment she first became queen.
This time, she swore she would kill him first.
However…
“Duke. Maybe you don’t care, but to me, giving my life to protect this country is a very small price.”
“Then Your Majesty should accept marrying me. Otherwise, one day I may have to take your head myself.”
Now only two choices remain:
Marry Duke Abihi, the man known as the “Hidden King,”
or be killed by him.
Can the queen and the enemy who wants her dead really share the same bed?
“How is she like a rose?”
Reading those words, Albun laughed mockingly.
Only someone who truly did not know her could say that.
She could never be compared to such a weak flower that could be crushed in one hand.
If he had to compare her to something, the queen was the sun.
Bright enough to light the world,
but hot enough to burn it down.
He knew that queen well.
“I… don’t need… to beg… a traitor… for my life…”
Even while dying, her eyes still burned with anger.
Her red hair was far more brilliant than any rose.
The queen who shined brighter than anyone while destroying the country.
“I wonder if, this time as well, Your Majesty will refuse to beg me for your life.”
