The Tyrannical Knight And His Cursed Princess Bride -Permanently Marking Her With Love

Eia is the last surviving princess of the kingdom of Culva. Born on the night of a lunar eclipse with hair the color of blood, she was branded a "Child of the Underworld" and banished from the palace immediately after birth. Nineteen years later, she lives a quiet life in the forest alongside her flock of falcons. Her peaceful existence shatters when a knight named Ardelu arrives, declaring that he has conquered Culva and demanding her hand in marriage. Once an unremarkable soldier, Ardelu slaughtered the royal family to seize power, earning the fearsome title of the "Tyrannical Emperor." To legitimize his rule over the conquered kingdom, he requires Eia's royal lineage. Despite his brutal reputation, Eia does not see a ruthless killer before her. Instead, she finds his magic beautiful and believes he is nothing like the cruel monster she was warned about. In turn, she defies every expectation he held for a sheltered princess. As they navigate this arranged union, her unexpected strength and purity gradually draw him closer. What begins as a calculated marriage of convenience slowly transforms into a profound fantasy romance between two people who have never known love.
