His Kindness Is A Lie

There is no place in this world where you can escape. So, run to me. For it will be the most comforting hell.

In the Bluebell Empire, there is a story passed down like a prophecy. A witch with violet eyes will destroy the empire.

Because of this, although she was an ordinary person, Bella had no choice but to live alone in a deep forest, away from people’s eyes, simply because she had violet eyes.

Then one day…

A witch hunt began in the village of Heberton, and Bella fled to the northern land of Bern, where the witch was said to live, without even bidding farewell to her childhood friend. There, she unexpectedly encountered the notorious Duke Belliard in the sacred forest, a place where entry was forbidden.

“Should I save you?”

“…Yes, I want to live.”

“If I save you, what can you offer me?”

From then on, Bella was taken in by Duke Belliard…

But why would someone as cruel as him spare her life?

At first, there was only fear, but gradually, as she grew accustomed to him, Bella began to desire things she dared not even dream of.

“To me, people and objects are the same. If they break after use, I just throw them away.”

Because we are broken, we constantly yearn for and destroy each other.
