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 called out to him again when he didn't respond. Her voice trembled as she continued.


Her sincerely worried expression was reflected in his red eyes. 


Eton remained silent, his body seemingly frozen even as Sez began to whimper. He slowly stepped towards her, bending his knees to meet her eyes.


Eton carefully took hold of Sez’s injured hand, stained with a small cut from a piece of broken glass. Sez stared at him blankly as he caressed her wounded hand. His touch, always kind and warm, made her heart ache. 


Why? Was it because Eton's hair was still losing its color? Or because, as always, he worried about her wellbeing before anything else? Or... was it the sorrow that seemed to weigh on him?


Eton cradled Sez's face in his hands, soon wiping away the tears streaming down her cheeks.


‘What should I say? I always wondered what I wanted to say once I met you again.’
