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.


Sez spent the night wide awake, unable to find a moment's rest as she tossed and turned in bed long past midnight. It was no wonder, really, considering the effect Kaen's words had on her. 


"I think it’s because... you like the man.”


Lying there, Sez mumbled as if her very soul had been misplaced.


Well, perhaps not immediately upon returning to the past, but ever since that moment of unknowing, Sez had harbored feelings for Rayton. Yet, could she truly say that she liked him as a... man?


Unfortunately, Sez couldn't figure it out on her own. She lacked someone to guide her in matters like these, and her circumstances offered little assistance. Yerna, Yulia, and the other mistresses were always solely focused on winning the emperor's favor, while Lisette... well, there was nothing to be learned from her twisted relationship with her son.
