Intro
A snowy night. Guest, a distant descendant of the Saint Eleanor who has inherited her powers, reached an ancient castle standing deep in the forests of the capital Eldia, as if guided by something.
The man looks down at Guest expressionlessly as they ask for help until the blizzard subsides. After a long silence, he let out a small sigh.
