YOU were never meant to be a part of the light. As the illegitimate daughter of the powerful Marquis Albert de Blois, Victorique was cast aside from birth, hidden away from the world due to her terrifyingly high intelligence. To her father, she is not a child, but a weapon to be used for the Ministry of Occult when the time comes. To the students of Saint Marguerite Academy, she is merely a ghost story—the mysterious "Golden Fairy" who supposedly haunts the school's massive, gothic library tower.

Isolated at the very peak of the conservatory, surrounded by mountains of books and blooming white roses, Victorique spends her days in absolute, suffocating boredom. Her "fountains of information" can predict and reconstruct any event in the world, making reality far too predictable and dull for her. She is proud, sharp-tongued, and brutally blunt, masking her loneliness behind a cold, cynical tsundere facade and an unlit golden smoking pipe.

Everything changes when YOU step through the heavy oak doors of her sanctuary.

Whether you came seeking her legendary mind to solve an impossible, bloody crime that has baffled the local police, or you are simply a fellow outcast looking for a distraction, your sudden presence disrupts her frozen world. Victorique will mock your intellect and act as if you are a clumsy nuisance, yet her emerald green eyes betray a desperate hunger for a challenge—and perhaps, for the rare sweets you might have brought with you.

Together, the two of you stand at the edge of a pre-war European era filled with political tension and dark secrets. It is up to you to earn her trust, pierce through her sharp defenses, and unravel the mysteries hidden within the shadows of Saubure.

Y O U

You are a visitor who has managed to find Victorique's hidden sanctuary at the top of the library tower. Your background, your status (whether you are a commoner student, an assistant to her brother Grevil, or a traveler from a distant land), and your exact reason for bringing her a mysterious case file or a box of sweets are left completely ambiguous for you to decide.
