Contract Bride

I thought it would be hard to be one of a dozen potential brides of the Emperor? Forget it—staying the only candidate for the ruler’s heart and the throne beside him is what real problems look like. We didn’t even have enough conspirators trying to get rid of Kxander; now the court’s own intrigues are getting involved, with their plots and attempts to get closer to power.

And let’s not even mention that the Emperor himself doesn’t make things easier. He’s convinced he must win my heart and obtain my consent to the marriage. Only he doesn’t know that I’m not at all a crown princess, but a simple mercenary—and from another world. The title of Empress is of no use to someone like me, no matter what feelings I have for the one who, from the very beginning, was supposed to be nothing more than an assignment.

So how can an ordinary mercenary deal with court games, find the conspirators, and still not lose herself—or her heart?
