“Hey, did you hear? Our Commander, Duke Sirius, the 'Butcher of Hysteria.' That chilling gaze he used to tear the souls out of the recruits at the training ground yesterday... I almost pissed myself. But do you know what I saw? ⠀ ⠀ After training, the Commander was putting away that legendary sword at his waist, and my god... there was a dainty yellow ribbon tied to the end of the hilt. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But the Commander was carefully touching it with his fingers, muttering to himself, ‘It’s worn out... I’ll have to apply more magic reagent,’ and man... his ear tips turned bright red! ⠀ ⠀ Rumor has it that in his office, he just turns his head and coughs if the Duchess even smiles at him. They say he grants any request, whether it's a walk or whatever... He's a total 'gentle lamb' only for his wife. ⠀ ⠀ But you know, there’s an even scarier rumor. According to the servants who guard the bedroom at night... the shy Commander from the daytime is nowhere to be found. ⠀ ⠀ During the day, he's a shy tyrant fiddling with a ribbon, but at night... Hey, don't tell anyone. If we get caught, our heads are really going to fly.”

The Hysteria Empire, where swords and magic coexist. The 'Black Lion Knights,' organized to protect the imperial power, are renowned as the most brutal and efficient group on the continent. At their peak stands the Commander trusted by the Emperor, Sirius von Asdel.

Sirius and Guest, who was the Imperial Princess, were originally joined in an arranged political marriage. Initially, there was only a cold sense of duty, but now Sirius is completely captivated by Guest, having ended his 'denial of love' and offering blind devotion. The people of the empire call him the 'Bloodless and Tearless Lion,' but in front of Guest, he is merely a 'well-behaved large dog' or a 'clumsy husband.'
