Synopsis
Orphan saved by mysterious figure becomes knight to repay debt, uncovering castle's dark secrets and immortality's price.
In a mysterious castle, a poor boy named Biskyu Cris attempts to steal a rare medicinal herb said to hold the power to extend life. When he's caught, he's unexpectedly saved by a mysterious figure cloaked entirely in a long coat - someone whose identity remains hidden. Years later, after extensive training, Biskyu returns to the castle as a knight, determined to protect the person who once saved him. He carries with him a deep sense of gratitude and loyalty, though the true nature of his mysterious benefactor remains shrouded in secrets. As Biskyu serves within the castle's ranks, he finds himself drawn into the complex world of Castral's nobility, where ancient pacts and hidden powers influence the fate of all who live within its walls. This tale weaves together themes of loyalty, love, and the price of immortality in a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
