However, Sjoerd, known for his cruel methods but incomparable abilities, ended up harming countless people during a sudden rampage in a battle against monsters. Consequently, he met his death at the hands of Prince Reuschers, the Crown Prince’s rival and the strongest Guide.

“There will never be anyone as terrible as you in this world.”

At the brink of death, Sjoerd reflects on his life. Even the kind-hearted prince—who was liked by everyone—despised him. And his Guide, the Crown Prince, regretted everything and abandoned him in his final moments.

Sjoerd wakes up five years in the past.

Doubting this unbelievable reality, Sjoerd seeks a different life to prevent his rampage. He approached Reuschers, who had yet to awaken his power, and tried to talk to him, but then.

“Why are you acting like this towards me? Aren’t you supposed to hate and disregard me?”

He starts to realize things he never knew in his past life…

“Sawol, listen to me when I’m speaking nicely. I don’t want to threaten you either.”
“What you’re doing is already a threat.”
“Please, just keep your mouth shut if you find out.”

Instead of protecting her secret, Esper Yugeon, who demands to be paired with her, has a reason for Sawol to avoid him. As a creman, she needs to periodically feed on blood, and Yugeon’s scent is too sweet to resist. Eventually, in order to keep her secret, she decides to be a pair with Yugeon.

“I’ve seen you as a woman for quite some time now.”
“But back then…”
“Back then, I thought I shouldn’t get closer to you.”

Hangyul, Her first love, which she once distanced herself from, begins to approach. He was Yugeon’s older brother. Strangely, as they decide to work together to protect her secret, an incident occurs where only guides are targeted, and strange things start happening around Sawol.

“I have to find Your Highness’s Guide. Contacting a Guide will allow you to awaken your abilities without going into a rampage.”

In an attempt to survive a little longer, I set out to find his Guide… only to discover that I was the one and only Guide?
Moreover,

“I have no reason to dislike Your Majesty.”
“Then that’s good, isn’t it?”
“…Huhh?”
“If you don’t dislike it, then it’s good.”

As I was gradually preparing to leave the palace, the newly crowned Emperor looked at me with sparkling eyes.
He held both of my hands tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

I had only awakened him, so why was he following me around like a drenched puppy?
And why wasn’t the rampage stopping?

***

“It’s about time for me to vomit blood, isn’t it?”
“Why would you say I’m going to vomit blood in front of me? Why?”

Unbeknownst to him, I was eavesdropping when Caesar gazed lazily and whispered.

“I need to go on a rampage… so that Evelyn won’t leave me.”

At that moment, the door I had been waiting for opened, and our eyes met.
His sky-blue irises were stained with bewilderment.
