Cecilia Sylvie'Äôs plan to disguise herself to steer clear of every death flag was going so smoothly...until Dante found out her secret! And although she manages to avoid the sudden death flag by using his identity as a bargaining chip, their abrupt closeness causes Oscar and Gilbert to pry into the change in their relationship. Can she keep them in the dark'Äîeven at the cost of her bond with them?

What a pleasantly surprising twist-never thought I, Dante, assassin extraordinaire, would see the day when a girl would try to strike a deal with me...but now I have! What's more, it's so fun to tease Cecilia-as-Cecil, 'cos the reactions of the good Prince Oscar and the duke's son are priceless. There's just one thing bothering me-the assassin group I've been with since I was a kid is getting all worked up about how chummy I am with those three. I just hope none of our guys do something stupid like kidnap her...
