‘Love may not have a place in the weddings of this world, but wouldn’t it be happier to marry the one for you? I think so, too…’ Her thoughts trailed off as she finally reached the church’s door, but her gaze was still on Larkin’s face. ‘You have always been trying your best to create a better world for everyone. I wonder if you’re looking for someone you’d want to actually share your whole life with… with tons of political benefit or none...’ “I’ll find the person who’d make you happy...” Artie whispered while staring at the archduke and standing on his left, but Larkin only deepened his smile. “It’s not yet the time for wedding vows, Artie.” ... Promises were uttered, and vows were made. With the archduchy facing one of its darkest times, Artie Shen and Larkin Ellis decided to stand together against the horns of war and the clawed clutches of the past.

With a dual-route system that could turn her into the most powerful angel warriors in the land, watch Artie Shen conquer different quests and task to ensure her victory. In love and in war.

Artie's eyes flickered after the Black Kodiak explained further. It seemed that Larkin Ellis being the inheritor was not a random matter. He was indeed from the long lineage of the rightful kings of Galacia. However, House Ellis was barred from ascending into overlords over the kingdoms. When the last attack of the glass spirits had started, it was through the efforts of Stephan Ellis that Galacia was saved… from both the glass spirits and Xeneroth.
No wonder the worshipers accuse him of stealing the Old King's power… he basically did. Stephan drained Xeneroth's power through the forbidden spells of Cupo Magia and took Tetroka for himself. He was also the one who sieged the kingdoms and turned them into devildoms under the ownership of Tetroka.
No wonder the humans were spared… the King used to be one.
