Unlike her master, who was one of the very first witches to ever exist and even pioneered the study of magic, Evelynn Kerubin was simply a witch-in-training who did menial tasks.

Which is exactly why it surprised her when Asa Luciferis, heir to one of the most powerful families in the continent, came to their cottage to ask for help.His job for them isn't simple, either; evil spirits and ghosts are haunting the Eden Estate, and it has gotten to the point where his father has locked himself in his room due to his paranoia.

What do you do when you find a dead soldier from the opposing kingdom just when the Declaration of Peace was about to be signed? Hide the dead body, of course. Super soldier twins Petra and Peter made two mistakes: one is burying a dead body instead of telling people that they found the soldier dead, and the other is getting caught while doing it. Now that the peace of Royisa and Nuryyn are on the line, they have to prove that they weren't the ones who killed the soldier. It's not easy, especially since people from their opposing kingdom seem to be doing anything to show that they killed the soldier. But as they investigate, they realize that the soldier may not be exactly who he seems, and that the motives for his death might just be something else other than war. However, one thing was certain. In Royisa, fingers aren't the only thing that people can cross.Cover by @dayisademigod…
