## Plot Summary

In the modern era, a long time ago, there were two children who were childhood friends, the Princess Zira of Darklit Kingdom, and the nephew of the king of Eshiyuu Kingdom, Lenix. The two often played on a beach by Messeeji Sea. One day, Zira finds a box hidden in the sand and opened it, releasing a demoness. The demoness then goes on to possess her. The princess's behavior worsens, and her parents knew that the demoness had to be exorcised. After doing so, Zira's memories of Lenix had been erased, and she was forbidden to go outside of her palace ever again for her own safety. Meanwhile, the heartbroken Lenix was unable to meet and play with her again.

Years later, Princess Zira had lost her sight due to an accident that involved a stink bomb released in her room. After this, she has been chosen as the successor of her kingdom, after her mother the queen was killed, her older brother, Shadow, the supposed heir to the throne had disappeared and been assumed dead, and her father dying to a heart attack that he received out of grief that he lost his wife and son. The blind princess Zira has her uncles, dukes of the palace, as her guardians, one of them supportive for her and promises to do his best to care for his niece, while the other uncle, Sean, was cold and uncaring, disliking the idea that the princess should rule, considering she is inexperienced and also blind.

Shortly after Princess Zira's fifteenth birthday, the kind uncle was diagnosed with cancer, and knew he does not have much time before his passing. He then ventured to their neighboring kingdom, the kingdom of Eshiyuu, to hire a bodyguard for the princess. He was welcomed by the former king, who is the father of the current king of Eshiyuu. The uncle asked him if he was willing to let one of his swordsmen act as a bodyguard for Princess Zira, and the former king sends him off to the palace garden. There, the uncle meets a swordsman with a unique eyesight, Lenix, who seems reluctant to agree to be the princess's bodyguard at first. However, after learning of her name, he reminisces of his childhood friend, and agrees.

Lenix and the selfless uncle return to the Darklit Kingdom, and Lenix meets with Princess Zira. The princess, not recognizing him as her childhood friend, quickly grew a liking towards her new bodyguard and she immediately leaves her room with him so she could go outside safely. As they pass by the infirmary, the princess overhears her selfless uncle and the doctor, finding out that her uncle has cancer. Distraught, the princess retreats to her room. Later that night, as Lenix came upon outside her door to guard, he enters her room only to find her bed empty. Lenix immediately goes to look for her, guessing where she could be. Lenix, recalling his childhood days, goes to a nearby beach, Messeeji Sea, and in relief finds Princess Zira there. Princess Zira cries, knowing that her uncle will die soon, and Lenix comforts her. The two head on back to the palace.

A few days later, the selfless uncle passed away, and shortly after the funeral, Sean starts abusing and harming Princess Zira, blaming her for the death of her entire family. Lenix comes in to defend her and he takes her to the infirmary to patch up. There, Princess Zira expressed that she wished Sean would just disappear, and Lenix listened. That midnight, Lenix comes in the palace staff lounge and encounters Sean there, only to then knock him out unconscious. When Sean woke up, he found himself inside the palace's execution room, standing on planks of wood with a noose around his neck. Lenix tells him that they will "play" a game of "Hangman", for every letter Sean gets wrong, Lenix will remove a plank. But when Sean finally guesses the whole phrase, Lenix only removed all the planks, leaving Sean to be hanged to death. When Lenix realized he had just murdered, he ran to Princess Zira's room, crying, and confessing to her he had killed Sean. The princess comforts him, and after he had calmed down, Lenix tucks the exhausted princess back in bed.

A few months later, another swordsman of Eshiyuu and an ex-mercenary came upon the Darklit Kingdom. It turns out that swordsman is actually the assumed dead prince, Zira's brother, Shadow. The siblings reunite and Princess Zira held a celebration for the return of the prince. As a gift, Shadow had given her a potion he received as part of a bargain with a spirit, which can heal her sight. However, during the celebration, Shadow found out that his uncle Sean, who he just so happened to be close with when he was a child, was killed under his sister Princess Zira's command. Furious, he harmed Zira to the point that she ran to the castle balcony. Lenix chased after her, and Zira cried about how no one loves her, not even her own brother. Zira also then regains her memories, recognizing Lenix as her childhood friend. There, Lenix confessed his own love to Zira. Zira falls in love with him too. The next morning, the potion that Shadow had given to his sister had come to effect, and Princess Zira regains her sight. Shadow meets with Zira and apologizes to her about the night before, and Zira thanks him for healing her sight.

Three years later, during Princess Zira's eighteenth birthday, Lenix proposes for her hand in marriage, and Zira happily accepts.
