Aristité was Blessed with a Curse

In the Kingdom of Strandeon, every noble house is obligated to offer one male member to serve in the prestigious Order of the Royal Vine. For House Theseus, that chosen representative is Aristité. During a routine mission, a witch targets him with a sinister curse, ominously declaring that he will soon lose something precious. When Aristité’s appearance seemingly shifts into that of a woman shortly after, the rest of the order assumes the witch’s magic is responsible for the sudden transformation. However, the truth is far more complex. Aristité is actually a young woman named Ariel who has been disguising herself as a man all along. The curse did not change her body; it merely stripped away the effects of the special medicine she relied on to alter her voice. Now forced to navigate this precarious situation without her vocal disguise, Ariel must fight desperately to keep her true identity hidden. With the loyal support of her cousin and trusted friends, she works tirelessly to maintain her facade within the ranks of the order. Yet, maintaining this deception grows increasingly perilous when an unknown figure among her comrades begins actively investigating her past, determined to expose her secret and bring her down.
