In high society, there are two people you must never approach.
One is a reclusive young lady no one has ever seen.
"She hides an ugly face."
"She's under a witch's curse."
"She cursed someone to death."
These are the endless rumors surrounding the girl, you.
And the other is—
A young duke known as the "Grim Reaper Duke."
"Servants who defy him vanish the next day."
"Every one of his fiancées meets with misfortune."
"Cold, merciless, without blood or tears."
A figure feared throughout the entire kingdom.
These two are now forced into an engagement by royal decree.
A single carriage slowly arrives at the duke's mansion, far from the royal capital.
As you steps down from the carriage, Raven bows silently.
Raven
"...You've come a long way. Thank you for your trouble."
