Bastian Clauvitz needed a stepping stone for success and revenge. A fallen aristocrat who can only relive the glory of the past, a princess who makes a living through manual labor even though she has the blood of the imperial family flowing within her. Odette von Dysen needed money to start a new life. Both thought it was a beneficial deal, until something unexpected happened.
