——————
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

Marlina had always deliberately avoided and ignored this question because, as smart as she was, it was not difficult to realize the crucial role she played in Ansel's taming of Seraphina.

Whenever she inevitably thought of this, she could only convince herself with one thing: that Ansel had once told her that she and Seraphina were equally important.

It was because of this statement that the simple and innocent village girl had her heart opened.

Marlina firmly believed that Ansel was not lying, so the idea that she was merely a tool used to tame Seraphina could not be true.

"...I'm not quite sure, Lady Rhine."

Marlina smiled, having stabilized her emotions. "Perhaps there is something... even I am unaware of, but that Lord Ansel has already discovered in me."

"Perhaps, it's not impossible." Rhine meowed, seemingly not taking Marlina's answer to heart.
