SALOMÉ

Berlin, December, 19XXs.

In Berlin’s Brandenburg diplomatic district, an intense diplomatic warfare is raging, as biting as the freezing winter cold.

Cedric, who moved to Berlin following his father—a diplomat at the British Embassy—meets Daniel, a young man from Poland.

The more Cedric crosses paths with the enigmatic Daniel, the more he loses the composure he was trained to maintain as an aristocrat, falling deeper for him…

Feeling betrayed upon discovering Daniel’s true identity, Cedric returns alone to a blizzard-swept Berlin seven years later—to exact revenge on Salomé, the notorious Russian spy who played him for a fool.

Top / Cedric Leo Primrose (Codename: Aslan): 12th grader at the school affiliated with the British Embassy in Germany. A handsome man with black hair and black eyes. Hailing from the British Earls of Primrose, he possesses the naive temperament typical of the elite, yet is quite gentle and kind. After moving to Berlin, he transforms into a meticulous, cold individual, and upon inheriting the earldom, he comes to work as a Second Secretary in the Cultural Section at the British Embassy in Germany. His hobbies include listening to the cello, horseback riding, and hunting.

Bottom / Yuri Ivanovich Raskolnikov (Codename: Salome): 11th grader at the school affiliated with the Russian Embassy in Germany. A beauty with blonde hair and icily piercing blue eyes. A mixed-race individual carrying both Russian and wandering Gypsy blood. In his youth, he lived on the island of Lanzarote with his mother before being forcibly dragged away. Since then, he has been secretly trained as a spy to target high-ranking officials who prefer men. Having lived a life oppressed for a long time, he has resigned himself to giving up on freedom.

Recommended for: Those who want to see a spy bottom who gradually falls for the top’s gentleness, and a once-gentle top who changes and suffers because of him.
