Chapter 1: Prologue

It was a cloudless blue sky, and a spring breeze with the smell of earth gently swayed the trees in the garden. 

“Celeste-sama, what do you want to talk about?” 

A lovely girl with long glossy black hair and bright indigo eyes. Her name is Doris. She is the only daughter of a count who governs a local territory. 

“Let's see…”

The boy whose cheeks are dyed red like roses, facing Doris, is Celeste, the crown prince of the kingdom of Crecia. The guy's honey-colored hair that seems to be transparent to the light and her light blue eyes that seem to reflect the clear sky is adorable. 

She asked, "Celeste-sama, what's the matter? Your face is red." 

If the adults of the royal court had been around, they would have told Doris to change her language and attitude.

However, Celeste was comfortable with the distance they maintained from her. 

The other children of the aristocracy were either calculating or shrinking, and they all approached her in a flirtatious manner. Doris's presence was refreshing in Celeste's eyes.

The first time he met Doris, his impression of her was not a good one. 

It was at a party to celebrate Celeste's eighth birthday. After the formal greeting by her father, Doris turned her back and ran away. Other sons and daughters would have made the same pleasantries that their parents had taught them, but Doris did not do so. 

"Hey, wait a minute. Don't you have anything else to say?"

Celeste stopped him, and Doris's eyes widened in amazement.

"I've already said hello, right? I want to explore your garden." 

What a rude child. I wondered how her parents were educating her. Celeste, himself an eight-year-old child, was inwardly appalled. 

“You'll get lost on your own. The royal garden is very large. There are flowers from all over the kingdom of Crecia, as well as many rare flowers imported from other countries. I'll give you a special tour.” 

When Celeste said proudly with his chest puffed out, his dull indigo eyes twinkled.

"The royal garden belongs to the king, and the gardener is in charge of the flowers, right? You didn't grow them yourself, what are you being proud for. It’s weird." 

“I… Huh?” 

Defeated by a younger girl, Celeste was at a loss for words.

Doris ran off, shrugging off her father, the Count's reminder. Celeste followed her into the garden, where Doris suddenly crouched down in front of thick shrubbery. 

"Cute..." 

Celeste peeked out from behind her and saw a pure white snake crawling on the ground. Doris's eyes sparkled as she observed the snake's movements intently. 

(Weird one.)

It was a curiosity, and for the first time in his life, the eight-year-old boy's heart was filled with love. 

Three months later, he summoned Doris to the back of the royal garden - their playground, a secret from the adults. 

The bouquet of roses hidden in the back of her hand is all a pale pink, Doris's favorite color, and all the thorns have been carefully removed. 

"Doris, that..."

Just as Celeste was about to offer the bouquet to Doris, 

"I found it!" 

A woman's voice sounded. 

She has rich black hair that waves down to her waist, and her slanted eyes are also black. The dress she wears, the pointed-toe shoes she wears, and the nails that adorn her fingertips, which are as graceful as lilies, are also jet black. A woman with an eerie presence, as if she were a condensation of the world's nights, appeared in front of them.

Celeste quickly shielded Doris behind her back. 

“Who are you?" 

He asks in a young but dignified manner. 

The royal palace grounds are supposed to be warded to keep out suspicious people, but there was no sign that the ward had been breached. 

"Just a passing by ‘stray’.”

Clutching an emerald-colored bottle of sake to her chest, the dark-haired witch crossed her legs loosely in the air as if she were sitting on an invisible chair. The cheeks and eyes are slightly tinted red. 

“ ‘stray’?” 

The stray wizards who do not belong to the government-controlled organization of the Magic Law Users are called ‘strays’ and live as they please. 

“That person reeks of alcohol.” 

Behind Celeste, Doris raised her eyebrows.

“I've developed a new curse and it feels good. I'm a genius after all."

“Who permitted you to be here? Do you want to be imprisoned?”

The witch gave Celeste an eerie smile as she stood firm. 

“Ah, it's just as I expected. After all these years, after all these decades, these royalty are still so hateful! It's worth hurting them.” 

“What are you talking about…?” 

“I'll make sure you never speak to me like that again, young prince.”

Softly, her black hair fluttering like the wings of a butterfly, the witch landed in front of Celeste. 

“Celeste-sama!”

The black-haired witch held her hand in front of Celeste's eyes and Doris pulled Celeste's arm as hard as she could, almost simultaneously. 

A moment later, a strong wind blew and a flash of silvery white spilled out. 

“Doris!” 

A bouquet spilled from Celeste's hand as he fell to the ground, swept away by the wind. 

In his flickering vision, Celeste wandered his hands in search of Doris. 

"Oh, my eyes flicker. Well, such is the nature of a developing curse, I suppose."

In the distance, he heard the witch's muffled voice. 

As his vision gradually returned, he felt the plants in the garden swaying in the wind. 

"My name is Ripley. You should be honored to have fallen prey to the curse of magic freezing." 

"Curse ......!" 

"A curse to seal your magic and your mind, young prince." 

The witch's voice was terribly uncomfortable as she laughed, sending chills down Celeste's spine. 

"At best, you'll live in obscurity. See you later." 

"Wait!"

When the view of the gardens returned to Celeste's eyes, the witch had vanished into thin air. 

The greenery swayed in the wind and birds chirped overhead as if nothing had happened. 

(Am I cursed......?) 

Celeste looked around for Doris. 

At a distance, he found Doris sitting stunned on the ground, relieved. 

“Doris! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” 

“I'm fine. How about Celeste-sama?” 

“I'm fine.”

A pale pink bouquet of flowers had fallen near them as they checked to see if they were safe. The roses had been crushed, perhaps because the witch had stepped on them. 

“Celeste’s flowers…” 

With tears in her eyes, Doris reached for the crushed bouquet. 

“I'll put it back together for you.” 

She gently said to the bouquet and tried to pour her magic into it with her small hands.

“...... huh?” 

With a curious tilt of her head, Doris tried again to put magic into the flowers. 

A light as pale as a firefly enveloped Doris's hands, and the flowers were supposed to be infused with magic... 

"Doris?" 

"Celeste-sama, what's wrong with me?" 

Celeste quickly paled at the sight of Doris, whose indigo eyes shook with anxiety. 

The witch, who called herself Ripley, said she had put a curse on Celeste. 

However, it was Doris who actually received the curse.
