Synopsis
Even though she is betrothed to someone she does not love, Evelyn shows only happiness to her family, fulfilling her duty as a princess.
For the past fortnight, she has been encountering a strange man.
In the garden, in the ballroom, among the crowds, and even in her secret chamber.
“I wanted to see you… my lady.”
He is said to be a priest, yet he seems to hate God—Daniel.
For some reason, Evelyn cannot push away this suspicious man.
Using dawn prayers as his excuse, he meets her every night, and their bond grows deeper.
In the process, she draws closer to long-lost memories.
…And to forgotten sensations.

“Your ears are still sharp.”
Though she has no experience, Daniel seemed to know her body all too well.
“Do you also know… where else I am sensitive?”
Her heart felt like it would burst. If not for the clothes covering her, the wild pounding of her chest would have been plain to see.
“Is that a question out of pure curiosity, or are you trying to tempt me into sin?”
“Both…”
“A wicked taste you have.”
“Then tell me—where else am I sensitive?”
Daniel looked down at her silently, then smiled as if he could not help himself.
“If you’re confident you won’t regret it… I’ll tell you.”
