‘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. Will their disguised platonic relationship blossom into something real for the sake of the archduchy? Or will it be for the loudest songs of their hearts? 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.

When Artie landed in front of them and then Larkin walked towards her, Havina wanted to go and stop him from moving anymore. However, there was something about Artie that made her stop instead. She should have believed her Queen Mother when she said that Artie Shen was not from Kaigansa and that none of them should think that Artie Shen was a simple maiden.
The Queen Dowager knew that Larkin could only be bought by sincerity, and only the truly treacherous could deceive him. Sarafina Talcum had once succeeded in fooling the archduke, and so the Queen Dowager knew that he would be more guarded than usual—even closing off from everyone who could be used in quite a grand scheme against him… be it them manipulating him or them dying for Larkin's tears.
