Five years ago, Arthur Astor formed a blood oath with Elian Norman, then cruelly dissolved it and abandoned him. Now Elian learns he is not the Normans’ biological child. True heir Orian targets him, and his adoptive parents’ neglect drives him to leave the family. To survive, he applies as Duke Astor’s guard—and discovers the duke is Arthur. Arthur never truly ended things: he carried a blood feud, as Elian’s adoptive mother Victoria drove his mother to death. Struggling between revenge and lingering love, Arthur is further entangled when Elian accidentally learns Arthur already has an heir. Fate and hatred bind them once more.
