——————
Ansel of Hydral, the Empire's most notorious villain, devours a peculiar being known as a "Traveller". 
In doing so, he glimpses a future of despair, a foreordained future featuring a war-god who can shatter armies, a saint bearing great sins, a mage discerning the truth, and a heroine of unassailable morality... These formidable "she" would destroy his family, his empire, everything he holds dear.

Upon truly recognizing the cruelty and weight of fate, Ansel has an epiphany.

"If the Empire requires reform, then there is no need for a so-called protagonist. Armed with this knowledge, I can effect change far more efficiently."
"And as for you, the world's chosen ones..."
"If destiny dictates that you cannot be obliterated, then I have no option but to make you fall... fall with me to the very end of the abyss."

In essence, this is a tale of a villain rebelling against fate, taming the chosen daughters of heaven, all while orchestrating a transformative revolution in the world.

A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Recently, there has been a subtle shift in the winds of the Imperial Capital.

It is common knowledge that the Elder Princess Evora and the Etheric Academy are at odds.

Not to say that the Etheric Academy dares to confront Evora, after all, her ascension to the throne is only a matter of time, and no one wishes to be purged by this tempestuous princess.

However, this centuries-old, largest organization of sorcerers, and the old fellows who maintain this organization... have some degree of confidence.

— Although this confidence is utterly insignificant in front of the Empress, if the Empress were the kind of madman who would uproot such a large organization at the slightest displeasure, the Empire would not have survived to this day.

This small confidence and value allow the old fellows of the Etheric Academy to ambiguously state "We will always support Her Majesty" when expressing their stance.
