— Ethan's POV —
I felt disgusted with myself every time my fingers brushed against the curse mark on the back of my neck.
I'd ended up receiving some mysterious gift I knew absolutely nothing about, along with a piece of advice and an assassination mission.
My brief encounter with Schierke had thrown all my plans into disarray, forcing me to completely rearrange my priorities.
"The fourth princess… If I'm not mistaken, she's the woman who chose Moon to become her knight… Rosewyn, the Princess of Thorns?"
According to Schierke, I was supposed to bring her a single rose every day until something happened.
But what exactly was supposed to happen?
More importantly… I knew absolutely nothing about Rosewyn.
If she turned out to be another deranged princess, she might order my execution the moment I knocked on her door.
"Let's hope she isn't that kind of person…"
I had my own concerns about the advice, but what truly occupied my thoughts was the assassination mission.
