Summary
Astrid has spent her entire life at sea.
She became a pirate out of necessity—but…
“You’re from the Ortez Merchant Guild, aren’t you? Your young master’s life is in my hands. Hand over everything you’ve got!”
Her short-lived pirate career comes to a swift end after she makes the mistake of targeting a merchant line tied to the Imperial Family.
On the scorching execution platform, her life seems about to end along with her career—
Until, inexplicably, she’s dragged before the Emperor.
“Welcome, Sasha. You take after your father in no way at all.”
Wait—her missing father was actually a war hero?
And a count, no less?
Becoming a noble lady overnight is enough to give her land sickness,
But now she’s expected to learn the rules of high society and act like a proper Lady.
And just her luck—
“Life became unbearably dull when I couldn’t see you.”
The young master of Ortez—the very man she once took hostage.
“If anything threatens you, I’ll gladly be the one to protect you.”
A naval lieutenant—the man who arrested her himself.
Now, she’s entangled with two troublesome men, both on land.
Can Astrid truly settle down and live the life of a noble lady—
Without diving back into the sea?
