ICNC Chapter 4
Eleanor bit her lip hard, but tears, not blood, welled up first. Her sobs intensified as she scanned the list of captured members. Oh… Catherine… Catherine was a maid who had grown up with her in the palace, like a sister, like family. Three years ago, Eleanor had arranged for Catherine to leave the palace and join the Periant, entrusting her with important tasks. She hadn't imagined she would come to regret that decision so deeply… I must save her. The Cassis of the present possessed a…-

ICNC Chapter 5
Kyrus abruptly removed the club that had been tracing Catherine's body. Even fleeting contact with a woman was unpleasant for him, and it was even more so with a filthy Cassis. “I have no desire to torment someone as fragile and beautiful as you. If you are truly Ramon's woman, it would be in your best interest to be honest.” “What are you…?” Catherine’s eyes widened in alarm. “I only want one thing; Ramon's identity.

Kyrus' cold face, his expression unreadable, radiated a palpable chilling aura. Eleanor felt a shiver crawl down her spine at his frigid reaction, but she pressed on, wanting to finish it immediately. “I understand this sudden news must be disconcerting. Marrying me would only bring a misfortune for you, Lord Rochford. Instead, it would be far better for you to find a healthy woman who can provide comfort and build a noble family…” The blue veins on Kyrus' tightly clenched fists bulged. If he…-

ICNC Chapter 1
Kyrus rose abruptly before the mass had even concluded. The bells of Lonchester Cathedral, signaling the end of the service, echoed softly after his retreating figure. His reason was simple; he had no desire to exchange even a single word with the throng of people eager to speak with him. What a damnably fine day, he thought. As the summer sun sunk down on his face, his pupils contracted to slits in the heat. In the morning light, streaming through the stained-glass windows and…-

ICNC Prologue
The heavy iron door creaked open, and the sound of approaching footsteps echoed, drawing closer to the woman. His perfectly measured steps stopped abruptly before her. A man with brilliant blond hair and impeccable attire cast a chilling gaze down at her. His blue eyes, fixed on the woman slumped on the floor, held a dull contempt. Not long after, the silent space between them began to fill with the faint scent of tobacco smoke. The man lowered his pipe and turned his languid gaze towards…-
