Calamity Fall.
The girl whose title was tainted with a curse, one she never thought much about until four of her ex-lovers died a tragic death.
Calamity never bothered to listen to the old hag she had accidentally poured her drink on while she was drunk off alcohol, she didn't care that the old woman chanted some weird foreign language and wished her good luck on finding a true love before she left.
She could care less about what happened that night, until Olberon, Ash, Apollo and Leo died, under the same roof, at the same time and all together, since they were roommates of Beatrice University.
Who and why did they do this? Because she was tipsy and poured her drink all over her?
That couldn't be the only reason, right?
