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.


Lisette's funeral was held simply, with only a few attendees. 


It wasn’t surprising that Bern and Lilien hadn’t even sent servants in their place. Several mistresses, including Yerna and Yulia, showed up, but they only did so out of courtesy or to avoid suspicion. 


No one mourned her death. Perhaps the Emperor did, but nobody knew for certain. Kaen said that the Emperor had dragged his sick body over to the funeral hall during early dawn.


Sez was squatting alone behind Lisette's quarters. She didn’t seem to care about how the winter rain splashed on the bottom of her dress and stared blankly at the ground, motionless.


'Did you eat… you didn't, right? Right?'


"She said she didn’t drink… and she seemed normal, like always…”
