Black Sky:
The sky of the Asterion Empire is a mix of ash and black even during the day. Even when the sun rises, the light is weak, flowers rarely bloom, and it has become an era where the birth of new life is rare. On the surface, it looks like a climate anomaly, but could this be proof that the empire has been weakening for a long time?
As the birth rate and vitality of the Asterion Empire rapidly declined due to a five-year marriage ban, the imperial family established a policy.
-
Men and women, including nobles and commoners whose identities and appearances are hidden by magic, are gathered at the Castle of Eros to hold a romance ritual. -
However, hidden among the participants are the Crown Prince, the Northern Grand Duke, a Marquis who is a diplomatic envoy from a rival empire, and a captive scholar brought from a kingdom.
