Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking.

Alice is the author of an ongoing book, "One Shall Reign", a story that revolves around the four princes who will struggle to prove their worth as the sole Emperor of Apeiron Imperium Empire without knowing the real successor. However, known for her absurd and lame plots, tends to favor only the first two princes and the youngest with optimistic traits while punishes the notorious third prince with pouring misfortunes who will be the inhumane and cold-blooded antagonist of the story. But unexpectedly, the unfinished book she's eagerly writing gobble her up and took her to the realm of her own creation. And what she has unforeseen, were the eyes of frightened individuals in strange clothes watching in horror and the blazing sword pointed at her neck mercilessly in an inch as the man with striking beauty both in appearance and dressing growls, "I have no care if you are a Saint blessed by Gods nor a ruler with thousands of men but if you cross this distance with the length of my sword then I have no space to spare." His sparkling dusty-white hair is as pure as the freshly bloomed Camellia flower trapped in the middle of a Volcanic eruption but at the same time cold as the cruelty of a muddy ice frost. The crimson red eyes staring down at her, are burning but heavy and dark as the buried stories of heroes' blood slaughtered in a snow-clad battlefield that further intensify his exquisitely shaped facial features to its utmost glory. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, he's the ultimate definition of the art of human beauty and warrior sculpture carved to perfection by thousands of proficient artists that took years to hone. By then, she has realized that those lines were referred to the one and only neglected character of the tale, Tristesse, the bride-became-wife-now of the beastly and brutal villain of her story, the third prince. And she became who she didn't expect... unexpectedly.

This story is half my own imagination and half fanfiction based on lots of different animes such as Zatch bell, Akame ga kill, Full metal alchemist, Attack on Titan etc. So please bear with me because I want to write this story down properly making everything fall into the same universe, sorta. Hence expect some big gaps between the episodes. I hope you all like it and help me giving feedbacks and recommend some more animes I can include within this story. This story is going to be long and it will contain lots of mature scenes and languages. I'll try my best to include some pictures just to give some idea on what characters would look like. The anime characters belong to their respective creaters and the rest belongs to me. So, Enjoy!!
