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's steps led her to Rayton's palace. The soldiers didn’t attempt to stop her as if Philip had informed them beforehand. 


She quickened her pace as she neared the bedroom, feeling suffocated by her torn and crumbling heart. She wanted to see Rayton quickly. To touch his face, meet his eyes, embrace him... It seemed like only then she would be able to breathe again. Just as Sez reached for the doorknob, the door opened on its own.


Their eyes met in the void - those light-absorbing blue eyes and silvery-blue ones. Sez inadvertently avoided his gaze, not out of fear or dread of his harsh words, but guilt – it was sincere guilt. Even if he cursed her again with resentful words, she’d have no excuses. Now, she knew the whole truth.
