Tetsuya was born to the wealthy and famous Kuroriku clan. However, out of the six Houses of the Kuroriku, he was born to the infamous second branch which lacks the resources of the main, and other branches. They don't even have the privilege of having their own name to differentiate them from the main household. After living in the countryside for most of his life, this plain college boy is invited to the royal palace.Excited at first to meet the king, Tetsuya soon finds out that the kingdom will require more of him than a hand to till the soil. He is to become one of the five knights. His weapon? A shield. His duty? To protect the kingdom from the umber forces that threaten to destroy it. Yet, the more he sees and hears, the more he begins to ponder if the true darkness isn't within the castle walls themselves... A tale filled with mystery and political intrigue."

"So bored, " I say, putting my head down on our wooden table. I stare as water drips down from my short black hair.

"It won't stop pouring, " my younger sister adds, copying me. She ruffles her curly light brown hair, trying to get the water out.

"Let's see if we can fix that, " Mom says, wiping her slim hands against her apron.

I bolt up. "Tell us the story of the Five Knights!"

Father, who is seated across from me, chuckles. "Aren't you too old for such stories."

I pout. "I'm nine! That's not too old..." I look down at the table. "Is it?"

He reaches over the table, ruffling my short black hair. "Aww, don't worry about it kiddo." He smiles. "Maybe listening to it will help you avoid the mistakes that befell the Knight of the Shield."

"Mistakes?"

The floor shrieks as he pushes his chair back to stand up. "Tell the kid the full story."

Mother bites her lip. "Alright. I'll do so, if that's what you want."

Father walks over and kisses her on the lips, causing my sister and me to hide our faces in embarrassment. "You shouldn't be too obedient, that's your mistake."

Mother's face flushes. "Yes. Wait, no. Uh..."

He laughs and stretches his muscular arms into the air. "Meanwhile you tell the kiddos the full story, I'm going to go take a nap."

The full story... just what is it? What have I not learned about the man who shielded this world with his life?

I turn to look at mom as she clears her throat. "Alright, let's begin. This tale is a recent one... It all began when...

I lean in, my ears ready for new info to the legend of the Knight of the Holy Shield. Though, perhaps my mind and heart aren't ready...

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
