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.


"Just let me know if you are. I can carry you on my back."


Sez silently made a promise to herself never to reveal her fatigue. It was the hill that Rayton always brought her to, the place they discovered on the day of the founding festival. 


Rayton gently guided Sez under the tree. Whenever they visited the hill, they would sit there together.


He laid his coat on the ground and gestured for Sez to sit on it.


A cool spring breeze passed between them as they sat side by side. Sez shifted her gaze from the palace, which now appeared as small as a matchbox, to Rayton. 


Their eyes met, and Rayton spoke first.


"…Are you disappointed? Because I brought you here again out of all the other places?”


"...Are you disappointed that I brought you here again instead of choosing another place?"
