‘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.

"Oh, no..." Artie began to step back. She didn't know how to respond to this prompt. Another Secret Story popped out, and it felt very different from the first one. Then again, no matter what she did, the quests and the tasks were all related to Larkin. Even the first Secret Story. Did this mean that Herriot was also related to Larkin as well?
'Wait… abomination created by men? Shadow of the rightful prince? Return of the master? Does this… oh, no… I have a bad feeling about this.' Artie stopped moving and just stood in front of him. "Herriot, no. I help people. I help things. You can be safe with me. I will keep this a secret… you and your… true nature."
Knock, knock. Herriot and Artie turned to the door, and Marissa burst in along with her twin. However, they stopped when they saw Artie and Herriot in the room. The prince dispersed his weapon and growled: "Why would you break into my room in the middle of the night?"
