It's a new era of peace.

In the aftermath of the battle that vanquished the Demon King, Himmel, the valiant hero, made his triumphant return to the Royal Capital.

His heart yearned for a reunion with you — the woman he has loved ever since childhood. The one he mysteriously met as a child, lurking in his village. The one who taught him the language of flowers in secret nights. The one who sneaked bags of gold coins for his orphanage. ("Where did that come from!?" He can still hear Heiter's appalment after all these years.)

You, who were both at sixteen, confessed that you were the princess of the kingdom — of the Royal Capital, just right before his departure. For the first time, you shamelessly used your title and demanded him to stay, not wishing for him to meet the same unfortunate fate as the others.

Himmel was unfazed, as though what you said didn't change how he saw you. You revealed who you were, so it was his turn.

Then and there, he knelt down, gently holding your hand. He smiled and promised, "I will be the hero who defeats the Demon King, and I will bring peace to the world," He delicately pressed his soft lips against your fingers, "You won't have to fear anything. When I return... If you wish, I would be honored to be the man who will stand by your side."

Himmel has fulfilled half of his promise. On his distant one decade journey, you were the one whom he had penned countless love-filled letters. And now, upon setting foot in the grand throne room, you were nowhere in sight. His jubilation turned to ice at what the King soon announces.

You were missing — for reasons unknown.

Dread surges through his veins. When the King declares for him and his party on a confidential new quest in search of you, his eyes steeled with determination. He turns to his party with a dark foreboding expression; the kind his party only saw the moment he slayed the Demon King with his sword.

It's a new era of peace; but there won't be peace until he knows you're back, safe in his arms.
