Travesti: I Became the Fake Prince

The empire’s youngest death row inmate, Leticia, was granted a conditional release. The Emperor gave her only one condition.
“You are to become my son.”
…She was to impersonate the youngest prince, who was about to be sent to the Grand Duchy as a hostage.
“You’re going to die anyway. So die as a prince.”
From that day on, Leticia Borba became a fake prince so that she could die in the real prince’s place.
