Synopsis: Amara hid her beauty since she was young. Her mother told her that her beauty might become her ruin, therefore she wore a mask and hid the scar that her mother had given her. When she met Gerard who accepted her despite her ugliness, she believed he was the man destined for her. But her fantasy was mercilessly broken after her lover sold her to an old nobleman for a pouch of gold coins. She then met Azer, a man working at a bakery. Azer, who strikes her as a mysterious guy who suddenly appeared and invaded her broken heart which she swore to never let be swayed by another again, kept pouring her attention and kindness. Can Amara trust a man again? Or will she forever cage her heart on the walls she built herself? But what happens if, along the way of treasuring her newfound love, she learns that the scar she bears isn't just a simple scar, but a mark of a curse? As she gathers and unfolds the hidden and lost memories of her childhood, slowly, her identity is revealed. And so does the mystery surrounding Azer. --- This novel is the next series after the story of Kyden and Mona [Summoned by a Pretend Villainess].

As Azer was preparing to leave the chamber, Yunis suddenly spoke up, his voice calm but firm. "An envoy won't be necessary," he said, drawing everyone's attention. "I will lead the group myself, using my portals. Time is of the essence, and we cannot afford the delays of traditional travel."
King Razad and Queen Adelaide exchanged glances, the mysterious mage's offer was more convenient and faster.
There was a brief pause as they silently communicated, considering the risks and benefits of relying on the mage and involving the Grand Duchess of Semaria in such a delicate matter.
Finally, King Razad nodded, he had already decided.
"Very well," he said, his voice measured. "We will proceed as the mages suggest. But understand this, lady," his sharp gaze locked on Vida, "if this information proves false, or if this alliance brings harm to our kingdom, you will be held accountable."
