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.


Rayton was nowhere to be seen when Sez woke up. The thick blanket was covering her whole body.


Sez’s expression was blank as she sat on the bed. She blinked her lightly swollen eyes, wondering when he left. 


‘He could’ve woken me up to see him off.’ 


She imagined the image of Rayton’s face right in front of her when she woke up. 


“... Maybe it's a good thing he didn’t wake me up." 


'Upon waking, upon opening my eyes, if I find Rayton's face right before me…'


Sez thought, as her imagination alone made her face turn red. 


Rayton would’ve asked her if there was something wrong and rested his hand on her forehead. That would be troublesome because she’d have no excuse for her burning face.


Sez got out of bed and examined her own face. Her blonde hair was disheveled and shaggy, and her face was a little swollen, worse than usual to her eyes. 


‘…He must have seen me in this state.’


"I should have kept myself awake all night...”
