Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

Kanae sighed internally at Sakura's words. There was no stopping this annoying girl was it? She put an amiable smile as her hand was holding Laura's hand tightly.
"I see, for someone as high as Princess Sakura, it's indeed not my place to talk with you. If that's the case, I don't think that I should stand and impose myself on you anymore, Princess."
Although the tone that Kanae used was rather flat, the surrounding people were attracted by their talk. After all, Sakura was the princess of Nali Family, who didn't know about her? They were thinking about expanding their connection through this woman. However, upon hearing how Kanae talked, they have doubts.
Was it really worth it to talk through this woman? If she looked down upon them again, wouldn't it just make it hard for them? There were numerous members of Nali Family in this party. They might not be as big as Sakura, but each of them held quite a big company on their own.
