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

Annelisa plucked a flower, her tone becoming distant and reflective, "Yet, throughout this process... Ans changed as well. Despite the limited time I spent with him that year, I sensed he had developed a definitive vision, something to pursue even under the weight of immense pressure."

Her voice chilled suddenly, a bone-deep coldness that seemed out of character for the eternally gentle and beautiful lady.

"One day, he informed me that he was to depart from the imperial capital."

Annelisa's gaze met Ravenna's, the emotions brimming in her eyes too intense for Ravenna to bear.

"Ans, he spared any superfluous words," the woman's voice was barely audible as the flower in her hand visibly withered and died.

"But I felt it... he had given up, he had lost all hope."

"In that moment, I truly contemplated whether I should end you, little Ziegler."
