“There is no true love without sacrifices and no true loyalty without submission.”

Sato Naoki, the last descendant of the most powerful clan in Japan, is the only survivor of the pure bloodline of the Alchemists.

He was a man who lived both in the past and in the present. A man, bloodthirsty for revenge. 

He has been waiting for his destined bride for 7 centuries however, right before she is born, an experiment goes wrong in his lab which put him to sleep for 18 years.

Ito Haruka, the destined one for the only survivor of his kind, was born with the innate ability to see the past, present, and future.

Due to the calamity that would befall her, the prophets of old sealed her powers right from the days of her predecessors, to protect her.

The awakening of her powers attracted the attention of the ‘Dark Souls’ the ancient enemies who were the same group of powerful mages that wiped out Sato Naoki’s powerful clan.

The Dark Souls were as heartless as their powers got, and they will not hesitate to take down the threats to their ultimate goal.

However, when they met with resistance, they began to toil with the hearts of their prey, leaving them with difficult choices to make.

What option would Naoki and Haruka pick when a war is put between their heart and mind? 

Would they try to risk it all and fight back despite the little chances they have or would they succumb to the devices of their enemies?

Although Haruka had surely liked that statement that encouraged her to pursue her dram which was to hold a sword, she refused to openly admit it to her mother.

"Mother, it's not like that. I was thinking about what we would cook for Mr. Suke's Master on the day he would come," She lied as she quickly followed her.

Instantly, Hana's attention turned to the positive side.

"That should be my worry alone. Now that you have reminded me, I have to check the kitchen to see the things that are missing."

Saying that, Hana hurried away without stopping in her steps.

With her socks brushing against the tatami floors she was still careful to not slip on it.

Seeing her mother leave without giving an answer to her question, Haruka's brows creased in a deep frown.

"Aish!" She exclaimed, stamping her feet on the floor.

Hana went to the kitchen with her maidservant to check for the ingredients and foodstuff they were lacking.
