From the third day of his stay at the royal palace, Rihaan began receiving strange letters—ones that could easily be interpreted as death threats. They warned him to leave the empire if he valued his life.
He couldn't understand why—or who would have the courage to do such a thing, especially when he was a royal guest. The Imperial Crown Prince's ex-fiancé, no less. Shouldn't that alone earn him a measure of respect?
He considered telling Soren. However, he held back—especially when the man seemed too busy preparing the bedchambers for the marriage candidates who were expected to arrive at any moment.
It wasn't until a week later that Rihaan recalled something from his previous stay. Back then, he had also received a threat, though he hadn't paid it much attention at the time. It had warned him not to marry Crown Prince Soren.
