​Roland's dream of living a normal life is again put on hold when he's tasked with guarding Almelia during a trip to meet her newly betrothed, Prince Fabian of Rubens. Along the way, the former assassin notices some curiosities that don't quite add up, chief among them being Almelia herself. While she initially rejected Fabian at every turn, she suddenly seems utterly taken with him. Roland's not about to let an old ally of his be wed to someone against her will, but can he foil this plot without causing an international incident?
