## Plot

### Past Events

Mirarose was once the princess of a country who was in a secret relationship with a commoner cook. However, after learning she was pregnant with their child, she realized she needed to come clean and told her father, the king, about her affair. Unfortunately, her father was outraged and had her lover executed as punishment. The same was done to her unborn child by a doctor he hired.

However, Mirarose was actually a powerful and the only witch in her country and, in an act of brutal revenge, she cursed her father, turning him into a giant monster. He then went onto a rampage throughout the country, killing all the inhabitants. Even worse, Mirarose made it so her father was still conscious, forcing him to watch as his monster form killed his people.

Mirarose herself took refuge in her family's castle, which she protected with a magic barrier to keep her father and non-magical people out. Wishing to just forget everything, she then proceeded to erase her own memories. However, she left a note for herself which told her who she was and that if she were to leave the country the monster will follow, effectively confining herself to the castle.

### Story Events

Not long after, Elaina arrived and passed through the barrier since she herself was a witch and could pass through it with ease. Mirarose was thrilled to have company and made her a meal, which they ate together at her dinner table. It was then that Mirarose explained both her situation and her country.

She revealed that she was the only surviving person in their country as a monster that she knew as Javalier. She asks for Elaina to stop this monster and to save her country and she agrees, together they set up traps to prepare for the battle. Once Javalier arrives the battle begins, during the fight Mirarose starts to get her memories back bit by bit and eventually she manages to regain all her memories. It is then that she unleashes a powerful Magic spell that decapitates Javalier that turns back to reveal her father’s head. Elaina shocked watches as Mirarose picks up her father’s head and reveals to her that she remembered everything. She tells her story and how she had punished her father for taking everything from her.

The next day, Elaina departs with Mirarose shown expressionless. Elaina saddened that the woman she once knew was gone leaves knowing that there is nothing she can do to change what’s happened.
