Anya is now in 10th grade, being secretly 14 years old while everyone else thought she was 15 like the rest of her class. Over the years, the young girl studied very hard, now being at the top of her grade, and also becoming an imperial scholar like her father wanted.
Loid and Yor had developed real feelings towards each other and had gotten married for real. Anya has barely grasped the meaning of love at this point but doesn't understand what she is feeling every time she's near Damian. Damian and Anya have gotten close over the years, becoming close friends. But even though Damian longs to tell Anya about his feelings, he is too scared to ruin the relationship he has with his love.
Meanwhile, while they're living happily together, the scientists that once held Anya captive, are now retracing every step she has made, soon finding her.
Now, the big questions are: Will Anya be able to live her life the way she wants to with the people she grew to love? Will she ever see them again? And will she spend the rest of her life being experimented on?
