Summary
Title: Hopefully, at Your Mercy
As I struggled to come to terms with my sudden transformation into the foolish duchess, a sense of dread slowly crept over me. The imperial prince, Grand Duke Iskan Anagrock, stood before me with an intensity in his eyes that sent shivers down my spine.
"You... you claim that I was once your lover?" I stammered, disbelief washing over me.
His gaze never wavered as he spoke, his voice velvety yet commanding. "Indeed, my dear duchess. But fret not, for I offer you a choice. Take my hand, and I shall guide you through this treacherous court as your most trusted ally."
His words hung heavy in the air, and I found myself torn between the allure of power and the mystery of his true intentions. Could I trust this enigmatic man who claimed to hold the key to my survival in this unfamiliar world?
As I grappled with my inner turmoil, a sudden realization dawned on me - perhaps, in the game of power and deceit, I was not the only player with secrets to hide. And in this dangerous game of thrones, where loyalty was a rare commodity, I knew that my every decision could tip the scales of fate.
With a deep breath, I extended my hand towards the Grand Duke, steeling myself for the inevitable twists and turns that awaited us. Little did I know that our fates were intertwined in ways I could never have imagined, and that my journey through this fantastical realm had only just begun.
