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 atmosphere in the audience chamber, shrouded in silence, was chillingly cold. 


Seating on the throne, Rayton looked down at Tuhik with an icy expression. Tuhik Risalem appeared older than he’d expected. His shadowy face, covered in wrinkles and scars, was a testament to his turbulent life. Perhaps due to those times, Tuhik surprisingly didn’t seem to be intimidated even in Rayton's presence. 


Following a long silence, it was Rayton who broke the stillness. 


"Chief of the Kunir, the Lygent family’s mercenary, and Dran Lygent's…"


At his tone filled with veiled scorn, Tuhik slowly met Rayton’s gaze. 


Tuhik remained silent for a moment before responding in a subdued voice.


"Since I chose to live as a dog, being called one does not offend me."


"How dare you speak like that in front of His Majesty!"
