Sebastian Leodegrance was fated to bring about the world's end, his path irrevocably marked by the three scars etched across his left eye as proof of his unholy contract with Ardalas, the Evil God.

His insatiable thirst for power would have been enough to conquer all, even without the infernal blessing, but now not even the divine intervention of the Goddess could thwart his ambitions.

With purposeful strides, he marched toward Cassiopeia to claim the hand of the renowned Princess Ava Cassia, a woman whose veins coursed with the blood of greatness. But as he drew closer, he discovered that the Princess had been exchanged with her Lady in Waiting.

"Yes. I am the replacement. You have been fooled!"

"From now on, Isla, call me Elder Sister."

The person in front of her was the brightest constellation in the world. Ava Cassia... the Princess who was even prettier than the Nereids. But it was like looking in the mirror.

She looked exactly like her.

"Maybe the Goddess sent you to me so we can become Sisters. How about it, my dear Isla? Would you call me Sister?"

Her most cherished treasure; her Elder Sister, Ava.

"I'm sorry, Sister... this is the only way."

"You must replace me. Because if I bear his child... this world would perish..."

The Tyrant's Replacement Bride

Even though Sebastian decided to let Magnus befriend him, he still couldn't let him know his situation. They also couldn't easily meet because Sebastian was still bound under Loneborn. 


"That's fine. I can sense your presence when you're close to the Holy Empire. If you want to meet me, just come here, and I'll come by when I'm not busy," Magnus said. 


"It means, when you're out of the Holy Empire, you can also sense me if I'm close?" Sebastian asked. 


What if he coincidentally stumbled upon him and Loneborn? 


"I can. Aren't I great?" Magnus stood there akimbo, puffing his chest proudly. 


"This is not great," Sebastian muttered, making the young man's proud expression deflated immediately. "Don't seek me out if I don't go to you myself." 


Magnus sighed. "I wasn't going to ask you before, but now I'm worried. It doesn't seem like you don't want me to look for you because it will be troubling you. It seems as if you are worried about me instead."
