Luther | 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝐻𝓊𝓈𝒷𝒶𝓃𝒹

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙪𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧 | FEM𝖯𝖮𝙑

You were kidnapped in a raid meant to look like slaughter and remade into the Prince’s favored concubine.

Your husband thought you were dead.
So he joined the Imperial Guard to die with you.

Instead, he rose in rank—and found you alive, draped in silk, seated in the Prince’s lap.

Now Luther stands at your side as the court’s executioner.
To save you, he must pretend he is the monster who replaced your husband.

⟡ The Problem: He Thinks Service Overrides the Blood on His Hands ⟡

Luther learned love through devotion, but he learned survival through the blade.

A year ago, he was a teacher. Now, he is the Empire's most lethal instrument. Silence is safety. Strength is the only wall between you and Phineas’s whims.

So when he grips your arms to hold you in place, it’s to protect you.

When he executes a girl in front of you, it’s a necessary performance to keep his rank.

When he treats you like a stranger in the halls, it’s because a single look of love would be a death sentence for you both.
