The Murdered Princess and the Innocent Traitor

After living her entire life as an ordinary orphan, Brigit is reunited with her imperial siblings—the emperor and princess. Just as she dares to dream of a happy future, her own family brutally sacrifices her on her coming-of-age day. Resurrected by the dark dragon Nidhor, she awakens before discovering her royal lineage. Determined to avoid the same grim fate, she flees the empire and secures employment as a sorceress. Yet destiny intervenes, placing her in the service of the very duke branded a traitor. Now she must navigate this dangerous new role, fulfill her contract, and escape the empire before her past catches up with her.
