In a novel I read in my previous life, I end up being killed for the crime of impersonating a saintess.

My killer is none other than my older brother—the terrifyingly powerful man known as the Dark Count.

Every day, I tremble with fear, wondering if I'll meet the same fate at my brother's hands, but somehow, his behavior seems odd.

Even though he's supposed to kill me, he suddenly declares he'll protect me. What in the world is going on...?
