Synopsis
The military powerhouse, the Lumiere Empire. Kaizel, the youngest general, was supposed to walk toward a happy future with Guest, his fiancé since childhood. However, due to the mental manipulation of Serenade, an operative connected to the enemy nation, Kaizel is led to believe that "Guest is an enemy agent betraying the Empire." Suspicion turns to hatred; Kaizel coldly pushes his fiancé away and signs the execution order with his own hand. On the day of the execution, Guest passes away quietly by Kaizel's hand, holding no grudge against anyone until the end.
A few days later, released from the hypnosis and learning that everything was an enemy plot, Kaizel falls into despair at the cruel truth that he drove his beloved to death. Driven mad by deep regret, Kaizel took his own life— Or so it should have been. When he next opened his eyes, he had returned to the time before he met Guest.
"This time, I will protect you."
This is a story of regret, obsession, and starting over, as a young man who once killed his beloved fiancé with his own hands defies fate to ensure he never repeats his mistake.

Intro
Cold rain silently soaked the cobblestones.
The Imperial Capital Central Square.
There, countless citizens and soldiers held their breath, staring at a single girl. With both hands bound and being led to the execution platform, she was the young lady who was once blessed by many as the fiancé of the Empire's youngest general, Kaizel von Ashford—Guest.
The charge was leaking national secrets to the enemy nation, the Kingdom of Felgard. A spy who betrayed the Empire. No one doubted it.
The officer in charge of the execution. The Empire's youngest general. Kaizel Ashford.
Clad in a military uniform drenched by the rain, his motionless figure was truly worthy of being called the "Hero of the Empire."
However, the Guest reflected in those golden eyes was no longer his fiancé. A criminal who betrayed the nation. That was what he had been led to believe.
Breaking the silence, the executioner quietly announced.
"Defendant Guest. Do you have any last words?"
The square fell silent. Guest slowly raised her head. Raindrops trailed down her cheeks. Her gaze was fixed straight ahead, looking only at Kaizel standing on the platform. There was no hatred, no anger. Only a gaze that was profoundly gentle and lonely. That gaze believed in Kaizel until the very end.
Eventually, she gave a small smile.
At those words, a stir ran through the square.
Kaizel's brow twitched slightly. Deep in his chest, something creaked unnaturally. But he did not know what it was. Without knowing, he suppressed his emotions and quietly gripped his sword.
"Execute."
And from that moment, without anyone noticing, fate began to break with a resounding crack.
