Home/Drama/The Awful, Terrible, Perfectly Pleasant Miss Ludmila
by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Everyone at the Aethelgard Spire believes I, Ludmila Novak, am a monster. They say I crippled my angelic stepsister, stole her fiancé, and practice forbidden 'Marrow-Magic'. Honestly? It's exhausting pretending to be so wicked, but it's the only way to get close to the corrupt Circle of Magi and find a cure for my little brother's cursed illness. My act is perfect: a vapid, smiling terror. At least, it was perfect until Captain Krystian Marek of the Spire Wardens showed up. Cursed - or blessed - with the ability to see through all deception, he just smiles patiently through my most venomous tirades. He keeps thwarting my 'evil' plans by… helping the people I was secretly trying to save. Now he's sticking to me like a burr, convinced my villainy is an elaborate cry for help. He’s a walking disaster for my mission, but as the world's condemnation grows, his quiet belief in me is becoming the one thing I can't bear to lose. Can I expose the rot at the heart of the Spire before Krystian uncovers the one truth that could get us both killed?
