“I will… play with Your Highness.”
Heloise, who entered the palace as a maid under the order of the Empress, was trapped in a dark playroom and became the Crown Prince’s toy. Risid, was the unfortunate crown prince whose mental age had regressed and suffered from aphasia.
He was like a broken doll, but as he worked with Heloise, he gradually regained his ability to think according to his age and began to speak.
However, the Crown Prince did not let her go and tried to tie her to stay by his side even when his illness was cured and was no longer needed as a playmate.
But as a different type of ‘play.’
Heloise was trapped in the Crown Prince’s palace and was loved by him day and night, but she was afraid that one day she would be forgotten like a toy he used to play with as a child.
Eventually, she escaped, taking advantage of Risid’s carelessness…
“Did you have fun playing with me?”
He had no intention to let go of his toy.

“What would they all think about when they see you? Everyone must be busy trying to get a bite, for you who was being so naughty.”
Heloise shook her head frantically whenever he uttered harsh words. Tears dripped down her eyes filled with unjust light and soaked his fingers.
“I’ll let you go freely, and everyone in the Imperial Palace would be wagging their tails.”
“………”
Heloise couldn’t answer any of his words.
‘Because I didn’t know what more severe, corporal punishment would be inflicted if I did. At times like this, I know from experience that it is best to match his mood.’
“You need to be disciplined,” he tilted his head.
“Come up,” he said, spreading his legs wide.
