Two months later, Mia is pregnant. Edward searches desperately for his mystery savior. When Mia’s stepsister Sophia and Lord Henry accuse her of treason and bearing a bastard, Edward recognizes her and declares her his future queen, ruthlessly punishing her enemies.
But Princess Caroline of the neighboring kingdom schemes to destroy Mia. In her plots, she exposes a crimson iris birthmark on Mia—revealing the truth: Mia is the true princess of the Aster Empire, abandoned years ago by Caroline’s own mother.
