Synopsis:

• The man I hated… died protecting me.

“…Do you really think someone like you could succeed in revenge? You’d be better off marrying some rich old man.”

Sia Ermodian, the last survivor of the Dragon clan, who was annihilated overnight.
The one who took her in was Gilliard Rieglus, a young viscount of the Kingdom of Rivendel.

Her hope for a safe place was short-lived, as Gilliard treated Sia with absolute indifference.

Years passed amid the pain and neglect, leaving her heart full of nothing but poison.

One night, after his words pierced her heart, Sia slapped him and said her final farewell.

And then, several years later…
For some reason, Gilliard risks his life to save Sia.

“The moment you entered my life… I… haven’t been able to sleep peacefully for even a single moment.”

A death arrives with an answer she cannot understand.
And suddenly, time rewinds five years, back to the spring of Sia’s third year at the Knight Academy.

“I told you, no matter how much the instructor hinders me, I will definitely kill the emperor.”

In the midst of chaos, Sia resolves to use Gilliard to finally succeed in avenging her clan.

“As you know, all I’ve learned in class so far is the male step. I haven’t practiced the female step, so dancing with the instructor is…”
“Then I’ll take the female step.”
“Excuse me?”
“When guiding male candidates, the instructor steps on the female steps. So you just follow what you’ve learned.”
“…Are you… asking me to dance?”
“You caught on quickly.”

The man she once hated with a passion begins to change in strange ways.
