Saint Violet, driven by her unwavering devotion, ventures into this grim confinement with a singular purpose: to rescue him from the darkness that has consumed his mind and soul.

Her search leads her to an ancient tome containing a single, obscure healing method capable of purging the demonic taint. With no other options remaining, she commits herself entirely to this perilous ritual. Through her relentless efforts and the power of the old text, Lahart’s fractured consciousness begins to mend, slowly pulling him back from the brink of total ruin. Though the treatment s쳮ds and Lahart finally regains his senses, the intimate nature of the salvation leaves an indelible mark on them both. The ordeal awakens a powerful and unexpected longing between the saint and the knight. Despite their sacred roles and the boundaries they are expected to uphold, neither Violet nor Lahart can easily extinguish the deep, burning desire that now binds them together.
