Synopsis
Black-haired Prince Alfred defends Charlotte from false accusations after witnessing his brother's public engagement breakup.
As the only royal with pitch-black hair and eyes, Prince Alfred is the literal black sheep of his family. But one day, he happens to see his older brother Leor, the crown prince, publicly breaking off his engagement to his fiancée, Charlotte. To rescue Charlotte from the false accusations being hurled at her, Alfred puts himself in harm's way instead. With that, everything is resolved...or is it? (Source: Yen Press)
