This world doesn't tolerate love. Especially the one that is forbidden.

"Listen here, Liam is my friend. You can't have any relationship with him."
"Let go of my hand, it hurts," Eliza pulled her hand, but the man's fingers only tightened grip on her wrist. From the outside, their dialogue looked like a pleasant conversation, but Adrian's gaze and his grip, after which she would definitely have a bruise, were far from being friendly.
"Stay away from him," the man hissed, keeping a charming smile on his face.
"What if I don’t?"
Irritation slipped across Adrian's face, but then disappeared behind the usual mask of benevolence. And only the ice in his eyes betrayed true emotions. He leaned over to the girl and whispered, "Then I will reveal your secret to him. It will be amusing to see how his admiration for you will turn into disgust. Are you ready to check it?"

The Romalian Empire was one of the most developed countries on the continent. Its capital, Malva, welcomed the travelers with beautiful buildings, wide avenues and clean streets. Everything spoke of the high standard of living and the greatness of its citizens.
Though, not all of them.
At birth, each person was assigned to a certain caste: aristocrats led by the royal family, merchants and gifted professionals. But fate was truly merciless with those who had been born as slaves. Their life, future, and even their children forever belonged to their owners.
Elizabeth Dale grew like a rare flower under the watchful eye of her uncle, Philip Lockhart. Her education, upbringing and manners were of a high level, like all aristocrats had.
Outside of his large estate, she was known as the niece of a distant relative. And only within the walls of the house did everyone know about her real identity.
Eliza was a slave. She was a slave in beautiful clothes and with the manners of a noble lady, with no freedom and the right of choice.
A slave could become free if the owner himself granted this freedom to him or her. A slave could become free if their talent was recognized by the Royal Academy as a value for the empire.
And if Eliza had talent, then she could only dream of freedom. After all, none other than her worst enemy could grant her wish. Of course, this was not part of his plans.
UPD: The novel is temporarily on hiatus.
