“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?

"Do you have a wife?" Himiko inquired while having her pulse taken.

'Does he have a wife?' Naoki looked to be seriously pondering over her question.

Thinking about how he had paid for Haruka's bride price z he finally concluded that he indeed had a wife even without wedding her.

"Yes," he replied, ignoring her scrutinizing gaze.

"I wonder what kind of woman you wedded." Himiko thought out loud, seeming to be lost in thought.

Ignoring her, Naoki removed the small piece of clothe from her before handing her the medicinal bottle.

"Why don't you let your wife help you around since you really seem to care a lot about everyone."

The Empress couldn't seem to hide her disgust while talking about the peasants getting free medical care from her purse.

She was really disgusted and hated to be in the same air as them.
