Sez, who was the princess in the Imperial House of Rowayne of the Den Helder Empire, was killed by her brother, Rayton, who caused the coup. Rayton was discriminated against in the empire for the prophecy that the monster whose hair is black as night and eyes as red as blood will end the whole world, and he had the same appearance as the monster of the prophecy.

Though her head was cut by his sword and lost the chance to escape the empire, somehow she was magically sent back to the past. When she had a second chance to change her fate, she decided to become friendly with Rayton to survive.


The blood-red and bright blue eyes stared at each other. The library was dead quiet in contrast to a second earlier, and the strange silence reigned over the enormous chamber.


Sez was a little dazed as she looked at Rayton. Her brother looked stunned, too. His eyes also looked different as they were slightly… cloudy. Rayton reached up to wrap his palm around the hand on his cheek. To be more precise, he tried to, but Sez returned to her senses and pulled her hand back in surprise.


"I was worried that you were really hurt…” Sez was flustered.


"I-I hope I didn’t make it worse, did I? I didn't mean to... I could’ve slowed my swing if I knew it was going to hit you… I-I really didn’t mean to...”


Sez didn't even know what she was saying. 


The last thing she could understand was the sound of her heart pounding in her ears.
