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.


"What are your thoughts on Princess Sez?"


Matias was taken aback by the unexpected question, and he looked at Rayton with a hint of confusion. The emperor's demeanor seemed… stranger… than usual, and his expression was unsettling. 


Rayton was never known for warm smiles, but today his demeanor seemed even more distant.


Matias hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.


"Ever since her debutante ball, I have seen Princess Sez as someone with a heart of gold, someone from whom there is much to learn..."


"I'm not asking you about that right now," Rayton interrupted sharply.


"I'm asking if you dare to see the princess as… a woman."


It was Philip, not Matias, who flinched at his chilling voice. He glanced between Rayton and Matias, eyes dripping with anxiety.
