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 opened her heavy eyes as Runa woke her up from her slumber. It seemed like the sun hadn’t even risen yet, judging by the darkness of her room. 


‘Why are you waking me up at this hour, though?’


"We have lots of things to prepare! We won’t be fast enough even if we start right now."


Runa looked as if she was in a hurry. Sez staggered out of bed and soon opened her eyes wide. A bunch of ladies-in-waiting were standing by her door. Even Marie, Lisette's handmade, was among them.


"Good morning, Princess Sez." Marie spoke with courtesy. “Mistress Lisette told me to come and help. But... oh, your face is a little swollen. Did you not sleep well last night?”


"I'll bring some tea to calm the swelling."


A lady-in-waiting standing behind her left the room the moment Marie finished talking. Sez just sat there, wondering why her face being swollen was so problematic.
