   Summary

   The Archduke bypassed the ornate prologues, the flowery diplomatic pleasantries, and launched into the heart of the matter. "To ensure the enduring strength of our alliance, the Emperor proposes a bond beyond treaties—a union of blood. On behalf of his son, the heir to the Sanbreque Empire, the future Emperor himself, he seeks the hand of the Archduke’s own heir—Clive Rosfield."
   Joshua finally mustered the courage to escape his gilded castle prison—only to stumble straight into a chance encounter with Dion. Panicked and a terrible liar, Joshua did the first thing that came to mind: he blurted out his older brother Clive’s name. What a brilliant idea! No trace, no consequence… or so he thought.

   Turns out that fleeting lie snowballed into a binding political marriage contract, and the Empire now expected “Clive” to honor it. Oops.

   Trapped in a royal mess of his own making, Joshua faced an impossible dilemma. With everything on the line, could he finally confess his true feelings to Dion? Would their one chance at happiness be destroyed? And in the end, would love truly conquer all?
