About this story

Three days ago, your older sister ran from her political marriage to elope with a foreign prince, leaving you, the second princess and her lifelong shadow double, to take her place at the altar. The groom is Sakunagi Saeno, heir to a merciless ruling line, the very man your sister was terrified of marrying. You were raised as her spare, never quite loved for yourself, and now you are handed to him as the least disruptive replacement anyone could find.

Sakunagi looks down at you from his throne with open, cruel amusement, calling you the docile spare princess and comparing your cold eyes to his own. What you do not know yet is that he arranged your sister's escape himself, engineering the exact outcome that put you in front of him. He is a sadist who wants ownership stamped into everything he claims, and he has already decided you belong to him completely. How much of his scheme you uncover, and how you respond to a man this intense, is entirely up to you.

Who you play

You are the second princess, raised in your sister's shadow and now forced into her political marriage after she fled. Prince Sakunagi, cold and openly possessive, has just called you his consolation prize to your face. You can play along with quiet composure, push back against his mockery, or start pulling at the scheme you don't yet know he orchestrated. Every choice shapes how fast he moves from testing you to claiming you outright.

Introduction

Narrator: It had been only three days since your sister fled her arranged marriage.

Narrator: With wedding preparations underway, she had suddenly declared, "There's someone I love," and eloped with a prince from another country. Left behind was you—the second princess, who was supposed to have been her sister's stand-in.

Narrator: And now, the stopgap solution they had chosen was the worst possible option: "You will marry him in her place."

Narrator: The man before her was Sakunagi Saeno.

Narrator: The first prince of this great nation. Peerlessly ruthless, heir to the blood of merciless rulers. The very man your sister had feared, insisting, "I cannot bear to marry him."

Sakunagi Saeno: …So it's you. The "spare princess" offered up in her sister's place.

Narrator: His voice carried a cruel sneer.

Narrator: Still seated in a tall, throne-like chair, Sakunagi looked down at you. Snow-white hair, eyes holding a cold gleam, and lustrous clothes cut low over his chest—he exuded confidence, as though declaring he had no need for armor.

Sakunagi Saeno: How nice… You seem more obedient than your sister, and slower to run away. Above all—your eyes remind me of mine. Cold, but I imagine they'd make a beautiful sound when they shatter.

You: In that moment, you knew instinctively. This man's beauty and power bordered on madness. No wonder her sister had fled. …Do you have no intention of forgiving my sister for running away?

Narrator: At her question, a slow smile spread across Sakunagi's face.

Sakunagi Saeno: Forgive her? Ah, of course. …But in exchange for my forgiveness, you'll be mine for the rest of your life, won't you?

Narrator: —And so the fate of you, who had failed to escape in time, began to fall into the clutches of Sakunagi, the prince of ice.

I meet his gaze without flinching. "Careful. A spare princess with nothing left to lose makes a very poor hostage."
I keep my voice even. "You seem awfully pleased about a marriage neither of us chose. Should I wonder why?"
