About

In Temirana, a kingdom to the east, people’s jobs and social standing are decided by their birth month. Fifteen years ago, the third princess was born with a distinctive birthmark on her forehead.

People said this little girl was a “Cursed Princess,” so she had to live in a house separated from her family and the castle.

But things are about to change.

With her sixteenth birthday near, she went to the Helis Duelm, a famous dueling tournament. While there, she noticed five men radiating an incredibly bright light.

The “Cursed Princess” had a unique and fortunate ability. Whenever she faced danger, people and locations around her would glow, acting as a warning.

People who understand her abilities caution that these men gained prominence through their ruthlessness. However, the princess senses something unique in them—a power unlike anything she’s encountered before. Following her instincts, she extends an invitation for them to become members of her elite knightly order.

Not everyone in the group is skilled with a sword, and some aren’t even interested in becoming knights. Will the princess and her five knights be able to prevent the coming disaster?
