The Liar’s Guide to Love

“I am your lover.” Baran told a filthy lie to a man who had lost his memory. To none other than his nemesis, the princess’s knight, and the monstrous half-dragon, Sir Nika. A rigid yet pure-hearted man, Nika had dedicated his life to the princess, his unwavering devotion known throughout the entire kingdom. It was inevitable that once his memories returned, he would be overcome with disgust and seek to kill Baran for this deception. But what did that matter? Nika had always despised him, had always called him a treacherous rat. Baran had nothing left to lose. “If you smile for me just once, then afterward, you can hate me to death or pretend I never existed.” If he could indulge in a fleeting, sweet dream, even for just a moment, then Baran would tell as many lies as it took.
