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.


Those were the first words Rayton spat out.


"Oh, I'm... I'm just glad to see you." Sez smiled awkwardly. She wasn't lying, technically.


"You saw me yesterday. Guess you don’t have much else to be happy about."


"Well, that was yesterday, and today's a new day!"


"And tomorrow is... well, tomorrow...”


Sez glanced at Rayton, but he didn't say a word. He simply stared at her for a while before sitting by the window. The book in his hand seemed familiar. Sez read the title <Introduction to Kazarkish> and smiled innocently.


"I don't know... it just slipped out, I guess. Aren't we studying at the desk today?”


"Let’s just do it here." Rayton waved his hand. "Or bring that over here, whatever." 


Sez followed Rayton's eyes to see a small desk in the corner. Sez nodded and started lugging the desk over. One must climb the tree to get fruit, after all.
