    Summary

    "So you've never once climbed a wall? Snuck past your guards? Escaped to chase a field of flowers?" William asked.

    Est snorted. "No."

    "Not even once?"

    "I don't break rules, flowers aren’t worth the trouble."

    William rested his chin against his hand, smiling. "So, what could possibly tempt someone like you?"

    "You."

    Est Supha Sangaworawong, an omega burdened with more flaws than he cared to count, was born into power but never felt he belonged.

    Branded defective, suffocated beneath the weight of duty, and promised to a marriage arrangement before he was old enough to understand love, he has spent his entire life becoming the perfect tool—because perfection was easier than being enough.

    Granted permission to leave the capital under the guise of imperial affairs, Est seizes the opportunity to breathe.
    In a quiet village, he meets a gentle man who brews tea, tends the fields, and smiles with warmth that makes the world feel softer.

    For the first time, Est is tempted to choose something for himself.

    But some bonds are forged long before two souls ever meet.

    And sometimes, the gentlest smiles belong to the cruelest monsters.
