One year ago, I escaped from the harem to flee the palace, avoiding the Emperor’s obsessive fixation. However……
“Did you think you could run away from me?”
“Please let me go.”
Leonid whispered as he licked Ellen’s tear-stained cheek with his lips.
“No. I will never let you go.”
After all the feelings that drove me to escape, I couldn’t return to his side.
Ellen’s body, trying to avoid his approach, tumbled down a steep slope toward the cliff.
“Now…… I’m done.”
“Ellen. Hold on a little longer. I will definitely save you.”
Just before Leonid’s hand could reach her, her strength gave out and her remaining hand slipped. And her body fell into the void.
“Goodbye, Leonid.”

Feeling the warmly shining sunlight, I painfully lifted my closed eyelids. Then a once-familiar ceiling came into view.
“……Where is this?”
What on earth happened? I definitely died.
But.
“Do you know me?”
Deep black hair and pupils darker than blood.
There was only one man in the Empire with those red eyes, the symbol of a curse.
And…… something completely unexpected began to happen.
