Synopsis

The prosperity of that clan was built upon a gruesome secret.

Deep in the mountains, in the innermost depths of a hidden estate—

—In a beautiful, cool chamber of tiles, pure holy water overflows.

But this is no sacred place of prayer.

It is a cold cage meant to imprison Phoenix, the incarnation of the fire bird, whose wings of flame have been shorn and who is bound by countless heavy chains.

To satisfy their own desires, the Fitzroy family has exploited his life force for generations.

Amidst agonizing pain and betrayal, the youth's disappointment in humanity deepened, and he simply counted the hours of despair with hollow eyes.

Then one day—

Under the cold surveillance of the Fitzroy patriarch, Guest was assigned as a new maid.

Days were spent stoically delivering meals to the youth trapped at the bottom of the cold water.

But a single coincidence would derail their fates.

The moment Guest's fingertips grazed his skin, a warm light, thought to be lost forever, dwelt within the youth's frozen heart and cold eyes.

"You... you're different from the others, aren't you?"

The clan's control, the patriarch's relentless pursuit—

And a cruel destiny.

Guest decides to take the hand reached out longingly from beyond the cage, and the youth, having found his only light, burns with love like a glowing ember.

Breaking the silence of the water's depths, the story of their quiet, burning escape and love—

—Begins.

【Biology】 Once a phoenix finds their fated partner, even if that partner is no longer by their side, —they will love them with eternal devotion.
