Lues Conclamata, said king, just wants to end The War and prove once and for all that he's not the monster the world claims he is.

Ilena Conclamata has suffered more tragedy than anyone should ever have to, but still she stays strong for the little brother who sits on a throne that should've been hers. As the world becomes infinitely more complicated, their lives become increasingly simple, survive to end The War.
