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.


"I can't do it... No, I shouldn't. I'm sorry, Rayton." 


Rayton remained silent for a long while, simply looking down at Sez with a somewhat dazed expression. She glanced at him and carefully pulled her lips away. 


Even though Rayton was supporting his weight with his arms, she still felt a bit uneasy. She worried whether any strain might affect the baby inside her. But no response came back. Sez hesitantly twisted her body and slipped away. 


"Let's just sleep, Rayton," she suggested as she looked at him.


Rayton's expression was still a little dazed. His mind had suddenly become a whirlwind of thoughts.

"Is it just that you don't want to, or...?"
