Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful child under the sun. When she was twelve years old, the enchantress shut her into a tower, which lay in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door, but quite at the top was a little window. When the enchantress wanted to go in, she placed herself beneath it and cried:

Under luxurious frills and lace, under layers upon layers upon layers as endless as your dreams—

Slept a peculiar kind of darkness.

A labyrinth.

Victorique’s mind was enormous and mystifying, an intricate labyrinth tinged in the color of night. Not only was no one able to understand it, no one was allowed to even catch a glimpse of it.

At the foot of the mountains stood St. Marguerite’s School, a prestigious institution dedicated to educating the children of the aristocracy.

While the mysterious girl Victorique, also known as the Grey Wolf, was still secluded within the library tower of that school, the foreign student Kazuya Kujou had arrived from a certain country in the Orient.

And on a certain day in the springtime of that year, this girl and boy just so happened to meet….
