あらすじ

Plain-looking and born a viscount's illegitimate daughter, Leona had nothing to her name but a razor-sharp mind — which she used to claw her way from lady's maid to genuine power at court, by any means necessary. Then the empire fell to an enemy invasion, and she died on an enemy soldier's blade. Her life had been one of schemes and betrayal, full of regret, and in truth she hadn't minded the end — but she's back. Back to the day she first entered the palace as a maid. Certain this is her chance to make things right, she vows to live a life of protecting others rather than exploiting them. She chooses the crown prince — the very man she had dethroned in her previous life — as the key to changing everything, and dedicates herself to serving him loyally. For a while, it seems like everything is finally going according to plan. Then he says, "Leona, come away from here with me." Something has gone wrong. The crown prince she thought she knew hides secrets she never imagined, truths long buried begin to surface, and the shadow of ruin once again creeps toward the empire.
