Kriemhild Grey was once a Queen's Morose, one who targets and kills certain people on behalf of Queen Violetta, who is the Queen of Aroanika.
While out on a job one day, Grey realized that she made a deadly mistake and was forced to leave the capital. This seems like a good opportunity to escape the Queen's grasp and start a normal life for herself, but little does she know that she has the potential to change the entire kingdom of Aroanika for the better.
