The Opposite of Indifference

“I drive you mad, but you can’t kill me, can you? This isn’t the first time, is it?”

A king as enigmatic as an unsolvable riddle—Frederick.

“Your Majesty, you shake my world. If this continues, the day will come when I become a threat to you.”

A predator seeking her true self in a twisted fairy tale—Millicent.

Millicent was burned at the stake, condemned as a witch. For reasons unknown, she came back to life—but her past remained a secret.

Then, one day, a request came from the queen: Eliminate the five ladies being considered as the king’s royal consorts.

Fueled by personal vengeance, Millicent accepted the job.

But somehow, Millicent found herself increasingly entangled with the notorious king, despite all warnings that attracting his attention would bring nothing but trouble.

And worse, she ended up catching a glimpse of the true face hidden beneath his magnificent mask…

“The opposite of indifference is obsession.”

The more the king’s playful presence annoyed and irritated her, the more Millicent realized something.

At some point, she had already been moving on his chessboard.

And the bloodstained number assigned to her was never just five.
