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 repeated as Rayton remained silent. Then, she looked at him. His expression mirrored someone who'd just heard the most unbelievable revelation when their eyes met. Rayton’s eyelashes trembled.


Sez nestled into Rayton’s arms to get closer to him. What she truly longed to do was become one with him and embrace his anxiety, loneliness, and even his fear if she could.


She didn't want to repeat the same question; she just wanted him to know he wasn't alone.


It almost sounded like the words that Sez whispered into his ear were begging him. Rayton slowly began, his voice cracking.


"… I'm not as gentle as you think," he almost moaned while biting his lip. "The part of me you don't know about would be much crueler."
