“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?

Alchemy of Hearts

At the moment, the Emperor was contemplating committing suicide.

Though it was a dishonourable way to die, he didn't care anymore. He would have allowed the Shogun to end his life after his first Empress died instead of going on his knees to plead for a life like that was no different from that of a slave.

And this only happened because of that person that told him to remain on the throne. He didn't even know why he would listen to a stranger in the first place. Maybe it had something to do with his greatness.

But now that he was in danger, where was he or he simply didn't care? Why was he not showing up or was all of this a set-up?

Right as the Emperor was pacing about in his private chambers contemplating on his next move, he felt a cool breeze come from behind him and immediately, he turned around.
