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.


"It's a bit late, but... I also want to congratulate you on your marriage." 


Sez forced herself to muster up the courage to say so, but Rayton remained silent, his face as hard as stone, as if Sez had crossed an invisible boundary. She hesitated for a moment before continuing. 


"I understand that you're extremely busy and don't have much time, but... I will do my best to assist Lady Lygent, so you don't have to worry about it." 


Rayton remained silent, his grip on the cup tightening as he grimaced. After a brief pause, he spoke in a cold tone, 


“Who told you that I’ll be marrying Carolyn Lygent?”


Sez was taken aback by the question. Who had told her that? She, alongside Rayton himself, had heard in the library that his marriage with Carolyn had already been arranged, and that she said that they had to prepare for it. Before Sez could respond, the door opened. It was Marie, carrying a tray with a bowl of thin soup in her hands.
