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

"Lord Faust, would you like a carriage—"

The woman's voice snapped Marlina back to reality. Unbeknownst to her, they had already left Yvaine's mansion.

Ansel ignored Yvaine and continued walking. Marlina, now aware, glanced back at the renowned Queen Bee of Dispute Fortress and nodded slightly under her grateful gaze before quickly catching up to the dark-haired youth in front of her.

After they had walked some distance, Ansel turned his head towards Marlina, his face adorned with a gentle smile that she knew all too well.

"What's the matter?" Ansel asked, "You seem preoccupied, Margarate."

An outsider wouldn't notice Marlina's distraction—not even Seraphina would, unless she used her intuitive insights.

Yet Ansel could easily discern Marlina's unease.

"I…" Marlina hesitated, her expression conflicted. "I'm struggling to understand some things."
