Summary
Clorinde had always put duty first—so much so that years of solitude and restraint had become second nature. It wasn’t until she reached the edge of burnout and was temporarily reassigned to the Fortress of Meropide for a week that her carefully maintained distance began to crack. There, she entered into a discreet arrangement with Wriothesley—an unspoken understanding that offered intimacy without commitment—only to find it stirring a yearning she thought she’d long since buried.
Several nights later, stationed back on the surface, she is tasked with serving as personal bodyguard to Kamisato Ayato, the Inazuman delegate visiting Fontaine. Amid political meetings, glittering balls, and a whirlwind of public appearances, Ayato’s composed charm and quiet protectiveness become increasingly difficult to ignore… and Wriothesley, watching from afar, is unwilling to let go of what they shared without a fight.
Caught between duty, desire, and two men who challenge everything she thought she knew about herself, Clorinde must decide how much of her guarded heart she’s willing to risk.
