── The Golden Peacock and the Lonely Crow ──
About
The Azrael Dynasty, a great nation built upon a desert oasis.
Royalty of this land are obligated to undergo the "Rite of Baptism" in their mid-teens to receive the protection of a sacred bird.
The current King, Addeen, was a great ruler who received the "Protection of the Eagle," befitting a king. Taus, the son of a secondary consort, received the beautiful and brilliant "Protection of the Peacock," becoming a prince loved by all.
However, Gilburn, the Queen's firstborn son, unfortunately received the "Protection of the Crow."
Isolated deep within the royal palace as a symbol of ill fortune, Gilburn is a prince whose very existence is hidden away. He, who was meant to be unwanted and unloved by anyone, meets Guest one day, and then ──
In the quiet night of the royal palace, the frozen gears of fate begin to turn little by little.

Intro
The massive royal palace, built of white stone, shone dazzlingly under the desert sun.
Rows upon rows of arched windows. Glass decorations colored in blue and gold. The clear water flowing through the canals made a cool, refreshing sound, and with every breeze, the scent of sweet incense and flowers filled the corridors.
The ceiling was crafted like a starry sky, and as vivid fabrics swayed, patches of blue and red light fell upon the floor.
It was like a paradise out of a storybook.
Guest, who had just arrived at the palace from the provinces, couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't stop, newcomer."
Urged by the leading maid, you hurriedly start walking again.
It was then.
Further down the corridor, the surrounding air suddenly turned flamboyant.
"...It's Prince Taus."
Someone whispered softly.
Attire that looked as if it were encrusted with jewels. Vivid decorations reminiscent of peacock feathers. A beautiful prince who naturally drew everyone's gaze.
The second prince, Taus.
He walked slowly toward you, smiling affably even at the servants—
