The Emperor's Lady-in-Waiting Is Wanted as a Bride

Once a valiant knight of the Razanate Empire, Qatora sacrificed her life to protect a young noble and was subsequently reborn through the primordial Light of Origin. This mystical resurrection granted her forbidden knowledge and a new identity as Lyse Winslette, the daughter of an impoverished baron in a neighboring kingdom. Desperate to avoid the empire and the dangerous secrets she now carries, Lyse lives quietly as a lady-in-waiting at the Royal Palace of Olwen. However, her carefully constructed anonymity shatters when she is selected to attend the visiting Razanate emperor, forcing her back into proximity with the very power she fled. Her predicament deepens when she inadvertently uncovers another state secret that results in an unexpected engagement to an imperial knight named Sidis. Determined to escape this entanglement, Lyse must rely on the combat skills and courtly experience from both her past and present lives. Yet, her resolve is complicated by an inexplicable sensation whenever she touches her fiancé’s hand. As she navigates this precarious situation, Lyse begins to suspect that Sidis harbors mysteries of his own, raising questions about his true identity and the deeper connection that may bind their fates together.
