Duchess Merellis Armelia, mother of Iris Armelia, is the Flower of High Society, a gorgeous woman known for her unmatched skills on the social battlefield. Now begins the untold tale of her girlhood, during which she wielded not her charms, but her blade.

Having rescued her people in the eastern territories and thwarted another plot to undermine Armelia, Iris throws herself back into the work of governing her duchy. It's only through work that she can make herself forget her growing feelings for Dean, but she can't avoid thoughts of marriage forever. A foreign prince has come to the duchy seeking an alliance--and Iris's hand to cement the deal. If Iris gives herself to the prince, she secures Armelia's future...and gives up her heart forever.

Why, then, is there talk of dismantling the kingdom's armed forces? As Iris desperately shores up her duchy's own defenses, she must answer a question from one of her closest companions, Dida: "If it comes to war, are you prepared to order us to kill?"
