disclaimer: NOT YURI (despite how convincing the beginning makes it seem and how much more chemistry the FL has with the empress than the prince) what a bait- the beginning chapters are all of the Empress and the FL being cute, and then the prince gets introduced in chapter 6; There are 5 whole chapters before the main love interest even gets introduced LMAO They had a lovely competent guard x arrogant brat dynamic This was so intentional by the author to lure in a larger audience; Treason of the highest degree Art is 10/10 but i cant forgive the author to have decided to pull a baitand switch on us. Read the first few chapters and you'll see how much of a bait it was
