■ Story

A young noble girl, raised in comfort and without hardship, becomes a wanderer overnight.

Meanwhile, a forsaken child hidden away by the Church escapes from its underground cells.

One girl, once part of a family charged with “judging the guilty,” suddenly becomes the hunted.
The other, freed from the chains that bound her life, steps into the world for the first time.

their journey guided by a shared hope for a land of happiness.

What fate awaits these two travelers?
