Hair as white as snow, eyes as red as rubies.

Lucienne stands out with her striking features.

From the orphanage to the traveling troupe that housed her they marked Lucienne as ill-fated.

Until one day Duke Winfield  seeks her out with an unusual request. 

"Lucienne, you can help my son" he says, his voice heavy with tension, "Truth is,...." But the sentence died there, as if speaking it aloud would make something terrible real.

The Duke asks her to help Benedict Winfield, a boy suffering from an unknown genetic disease.

But before Lucienne could learn what the Duke wanted from her, something terrible happened to the Duke, making it his last will. 

Young Benedict, earning his father’s title, offered her a place to stay by his side. 

"I've decided to make you my special advisor."

For the first time in her life, Lucienne finds true happiness in the home she never thought she'd have.


[Finally, I've found the 'sacred solution' to cure the illness. I will never let Benedict die now.]

Upon reading the diary of the late Duke she began to realize what his final words meant.

“To free Benedict from the curse that seems to burn his body…”

Lucienne must die at Benedict’s own hands.

And Lucienne was prepared to die.

For the one she loves.

“Please accept my death, Benedict.”
