The Heiress's Double Life

The master of disguise and expert in escape routes, the genius con artist “Duksa,” a convict who caused a stir throughout the empire, is approached one day by Hexen Grand Duke, the tyrant of the battlefield.

“Hey, I need you to help me out.”

“What exactly do you need help with?”

“I’m going to try being emperor once.”

“...Pardon?”

...You?

The shame of the royal family, the mad dog of the North, the tyrant of the battlefield.

What am I supposed to do with someone said to have muscles for a brain?

“You need to figure out a way to make me emperor. If not, you’ll die.”

A survival mission with abysmal odds of success is placed on her if she wants to stay alive!

Make the imperial family’s delinquent into an emperor!

We’re... supposed to be working, not dating, you know?

“Do you hear that? Being this close to you makes my heart pound like a crazy bastard. Side effect of the poison, right?”

“....”

“And when I look at you, this crazy hand of mine keeps twitching. Like I want to touch you... like this....”

Lexid’s hand trembled as it touched her back. She could feel him clench his fist tight.

“I’m saying this so you won’t misunderstand, but I don’t mean I want to grope your body.”

“Ah, yes.”
