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 bedroom was filled with a heavy, cold silence. 


Rayton stared at the man before him, forgetting to even breathe. It was a face that strangely resembled his own, with red eyes. But the man's hair was different - it was gray. But it was unmistakably him. If not, nobody else could have those eyes or intrude into his bedroom like this. Rayton reached out to grab Eton's collar - or at least, he tried to. If not for the cursed lethargy from the medicine, he wouldn't have stumbled. 


Rayton groaned, trying to get up but failing. Eton looked at him with sullen eyes. Rayton emanated a faint smell of poison. 


Even without deep thought, it was clear that Belkiel must’ve given him poison to delay the loss of his power even slightly.


"…So I’ve abandoned my power, and you’ve abandoned your life." 


So they were so strikingly alike that they were destined to love the same soul in the same way? Eton's expression bore a bitter sadness.
