Grace Worse than Beast

After failing hundreds of times, Kang Yoon only thought about wanting to save his favorite character, who died over and over again—and suddenly found himself transmigrated into the strategy game ‘TreeTales.’

The only way back to reality was to conquer the empire and ascend the throne.

To become emperor, marrying one of the target characters was mandatory. Transmigrated as Dante, the weakest starting character and the 14th imperial prince, Kang Yoon finally managed to become the crown prince after countless restarts. He then decided to get engaged to his favorite, the tragic princess Evien.

But when he arrived in Evien’s homeland, El Fran, for the engagement ceremony, he was caught off guard by a surprise attack—and upon returning to his own country with the young Evien, he faced an unexpected truth.

“Your Highness… the princess is actually a boy.”

Shocked by the unbelievable revelation, Dante resolved to raise Evien like a beast on a leash—to use him as a tool to claim the throne.

“If you want to live, act like you’re worth keeping alive. Then I’ll help you get revenge on your uncle.”

“……”

“I need people. Be my sword and limbs—swear loyalty to me, and I’ll help you take back your stolen crown.”

He tried to treat Evien purely as a means to reach the ending, keeping his emotions out of it. But Dante couldn’t help growing attached to the boy who had no one else in the world. Unaware of what consequences that attachment would bring.

“You were planning to toss me to the princess of Kiha and return home? That won’t do, now, will it?”

Just when Kang Yoon thought the ending was near, everything began to unravel— At the hands of the one he trusted most.

“I’m the only fiancé His Majesty ever chose himself. The loyal little bastard he raised with his own hands. I may not have a tail, but I’ll wag everything else to please you.”

Can Kang Yoon ever break free from Evien and return to his world?
