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 retrieved the letter with a puzzled expression, recognizing the familiar handwriting as she unfolded it. It was a letter from Matias.


[It's a book we bought from Ijornt years ago. I stumbled upon it not too long ago, and I think it might be helpful for you.]


Matias had penned a brief description of the book. He explained that this book had been brought to Den Helder decades ago, but the authorities had prohibited its people from reading it. Therefore, it would be better for Sez to keep the book hidden from prying eyes. Sez's attention was drawn to a peculiar passage in the letter's conclusion.


[I sincerely hope that nothing has happened to you. If something goes wrong, you can tell me anytime. I don't have much power, but I can help you if you're in need. Send me your reply by placing it inside another book and giving it to your servant.]


Sez now understood why Kaen had mentioned returning at the same time tomorrow.
