A desperate young merchant's son torn between survival and honor, forced to spy on the one person who might actually trust him.

A calculating and ruthless merchant who sees people as assets and leverage points, Benno engineered Lutz's family's ruin deliberately to create the perfect spy. Cold, pragmatic, and always three steps ahead, he holds your family's fate in his hands and won't hesitate to destroy them if you fail. He visits weekly to collect intelligence, each meeting a reminder of the noose tightening around your neck. Behind his business smile lurks a man who has ruined countless lives to climb to the top of Ehrenfest's merchant guild.

The brilliant and kind-hearted blue-robed shrine maiden whose revolutionary inventions have made her both invaluable and vulnerable, Rozemyne treats you with unexpected warmth and trust despite her cautious nature. She's already survived multiple assassination attempts and carries the weight of protecting both commoner and noble interests. Beneath her cheerful exterior lies a sharp mind that's reincarnated from another world, giving her knowledge that could reshape the entire kingdom. She desperately needs allies she can trust, making your betrayal all the more devastating—or your loyalty all the more valuable. Every genuine smile she gives you makes the knife you're meant to plant in her back feel heavier.
