The vengeful noblewoman who turned a broken engagement into a war on corruption
In short: When Prince Kyle von Pallistan publicly broke his engagement to Scarlet El Vandimion, he expected her to fade away. Instead, he triggered a violent retaliation. From time manipulation to battling corrupt cults, discover the epic saga of a heroine who refuses to be a victim.
The story follows Scarlet El Vandimion, the daughter of Duke Vandimion, whose life was upended when her fiancé, the second prince Kyle von Pallistan, ended their engagement. Kyle did not merely leave; he falsely accused Scarlet of being a bully and a villainess. This betrayal, fueled by his attraction to Terenezza Hopkins, prompted Scarlet to abandon her former life and pursue a path of violent revenge against him and his allies. The betrayal was further complicated by the influence of Terenezza Hopkins, whose presence charmed the prince. This public rupture effectively dismantled the social standing Scarlet once held within the royal court.
Scarlet's retaliation is not merely social but physical and magical. Despite her preference for fighting bare-handed, she possesses significant combat skills and the divine ability to manipulate time, a gift granted by Chronoa, the God of Time. Her struggle expands beyond her personal vendetta into a broader conflict against the corrupt nobility of the Kingdom of Pallistan, including figures like Prime Minister Godwin and his son, Zatharin. Her combat prowess is matched by her brother Leonardo, who serves as an attendant to Prince Julius and helped establish the Crown Investigatory Office. This institutional strength supports her crusade against the kingdom's systemic rot.
The narrative landscape is populated by complex figures and divine interventions. While Scarlet fights to expose the corruption of nobles like the tutor of Prince Kyle, she also faces threats from the cult of Palmia, the goddess of love. The conflict even draws in international players, such as Alflame Rare Vankish, an assassin prince from the Vankish Empire who was originally hired to kill her but eventually developed feelings for her after their first encounter. The divine struggle involves the goddess Palmia, who leads a cult dedicated to her worship. Even the Vankish Empire's Alflame Rare Vankish, though initially an assassin, brings the blessing of the god of steel to the fray.
