Synopsis
Cursed knight Hildegar seeks healing from enemy pharmacist Erkin, their fates entwined in ancient conflict and redemption.
In a kingdom where the Goddess of the Sun is worshipped as the divine protector of knights, Hildegar Aelius stands as both a legendary warrior and a woman burdened by an agonizing secret. Once blessed with the deity's power and celebrated for her military prowess, she now suffers from a mysterious curse that causes her body to burn with unbearable pain each night. Seeking relief from her affliction while maintaining her privacy, Hildegar's trusted companions search for a healer who can treat her without direct contact. Their search leads them to Erkin, a compassionate pharmacist from the North whose gentle demeanor masks a complicated past. Though his knowledge offers temporary respite from Hildegar's suffering, bringing him to the castle creates an intricate web of hidden identities and unspoken truths. As these two individuals from opposing sides of an ancient conflict are drawn together by necessity, they must navigate the delicate balance between healing and vengeance, duty and desire. Their fates become intertwined in ways neither could have anticipated, setting the stage for a tale where the lines between enemy and ally blur, and where redemption may come at the highest price.
