Estian has kept his bloodlust controlled ever since Cecile entered his life, but lately, it's become harder to suppress. His need for release grows stronger, and the conquest of the Etia Dukedom was meant to be a way to satisfy it. Yet, as he marches on, he starts to question if he's been unknowingly playing into the duke's plans all along.

Meanwhile, Cecile finds herself pulled into a strange magical portal, leading her to a library like no other. The shelves are lined with books, each one detailing the life of the empress and her tyrannical husband. The more she reads, the more the lines between reality and fiction blur. And then, as if to complicate things further, her memories are suddenly wiped.
