<p style="margin-bottom: 1.2em;">Six years ago, nobody would have expected Maid Joanna to defy Queen Sophia in The Dragon King's Forbidden Maid. Dragon King Atlas was supposed to be Sophia’s devoted husband—or at least, that was what his mother wanted. Yet on the Night of the Lunar Eclipse, Joanna conceived his dragon heir. She named him Louis, and they lived together in the Tower of Oblivion.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1.2em;">The tower became Joanna’s prison after Queen Sophia scarred her face and locked her away. Years later, Sophia returns with her servants to punish her again. Atlas still refuses to touch Sophia, and she blames Joanna for his rejection. Meanwhile, the Queen Mother worries that Sophia has yet to give Atlas a son, unaware that his child is already living in the tower.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 1.2em;">Then Louis saves the Queen Mother’s life. The little boy reminds her of Atlas as a child, while Atlas begins to recognize the woman he knew six years ago. Will he uncover Sophia’s schemes and crown Joanna before the queen can hurt her again?</p> <h4 style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.4; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Characters</h4> <h5 style="font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.4; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 0.4em;">Maid Joanna</h5> <p style="margin-bottom: 1.2em;">Maid Joanna is the main female character of The Dragon King's Forbidden Maid.
