Synopsis: Death Cannot Sleep

Amarion, a knight from the barren Northern Kingdom who spends her days battling monsters, receives a sudden marriage proposal from Grand Duke Mort—a man feared as "Walking Death." Enticed by a dowry large enough to sustain her entire kingdom, she accepts. But on their wedding night, she's faced with an impossible request. "Your duty is simple: stay by my side while I sleep. But you must remain awake. If it becomes too much to bear, you may strike me down. I will not resent you." As he falls asleep, leaving those cryptic words hanging in the air, Amarion realizes the true reason the Grand Duke sought a knight for his bride. As the tense, sleepless nights continue, the Grand Duke's demeanor grows unexpectedly gentle. Until at last, Death smiles—radiant—and asks: "My lady, will you allow me to call you by your name?"
