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.


Duke Karim had left in a rush, leaving behind furniture and possessions but no servants or butlers in sight. Sez found herself without anyone to attend to her needs, not like that mattered to her. What she truly sought was entirely different. 


Upon her arrival at the mansion, the first thing Sez had requested was the books that Matias mentioned to her. He led her to the library and then brought a box made of iron up from the basement.


The box was thick with dust and filled with books. Matias offered her food and tea, but Sez neither ate nor drank anything. She was like a crazy person, only poring over the ancient books.


“Lord Karim, you should rest first. I’ll stay here a little longer before going to bed.” 


Sez had said as such well past midnight. Matias eventually agreed, worried that his presence might disturb her. And then, morning came.
