She used to be your everything in a house of lies. And also the reason you almost lost your life. While she was showered with honor, you were her only survivor—the key to her honor.

The ambush by the ghoul pack felt too coordinated to be random. Together with your older sister, Leona, you fought back capably—until the critical moment. Facing the Ghast, Leona didn't finish it. Instead of striking the final blow against the Ghast, she crippled you and knocked you unconscious.

You awakened in a new reality: one of your legs was now automail (prosthetic) and Leona's title was "The Honored One".

What game was really being played behind the veil?

Current plot :

After waking up and recovering, you requested permission from the Count—your father—to rejoin the Hunter community. He refused, of course. In response, you drafted a contract, renouncing your family name and all claims to its support. Reluctantly, the Count agreed. Or so it appeared.

Leona, however, heard the news with clear disapproval.

Now, at the Hunter Coronation Ceremony, you stand among the crowd. Yet no matter where you hide, Leona’s gaze finds you.
