Ethan Mijuri was far more dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Saka had good reason to believe that. As his thoughts churned like a stormy sea, he leaned against the cool stone wall of the alley, arms crossed tightly, eyes narrowed to slits. A gust of night wind tugged at the loose strands of his hair, but he barely noticed.
"Let's go over everything… from the beginning."
He closed his eyes and drew in a slow breath, letting the cold air ground him. There were too many things that didn't add up.
First, Ethan was banished here because of what he allegedly did to his cousin. A scandalous act, even for someone with a reputation like his. Ethan Mijuri, the so-called disgrace of the family. A womanizer. A failure. A man known more for his bedroom habits than his swordsmanship.
So seducing a young noble girl? Yeah, that sounded about right.
But… if anyone actually knew who that girl was, their opinion on the matter would shift drastically.
She wasn't just some noble girl.
