Nobody Dares Defend Her Against Her Abusive Guardians But He Does At a Fatal Cost

In the past few years, Poppy has had three bodyguards and a Lady-in-waiting. They attend to her, care for her and might even love her. However, they cannot do a thing whenever the Duke calls her to his office for “lessons”. They also watch helplessly whenever the Priestess slaps her repeatedly for doing, well, anything at all.Poppy is on the verge of losing her mind. Suddenly, a new guard is assigned to her. She treats him distantly, expecting he’s just like the rest. Except he’s not. He is not Poppy’s knight in shining armor but rather urges her to wear her own armor and fight back. Jennifer L.
