"I swear, I will protect you from anything that would threaten to harm you. I promise to be there for you when needed, and to save you from danger, from your enemies, even your family. And myself."
On the event of Princess Delaria's 13th birthday, she is to select a Knight of service to protect her and perform her will.
Still young and naive, Delaria has been raised on her fairy tale books of happily ever afters, and knows little of the real world around her. A hopeless romantic, she chooses the inexperienced and foreign knight in training Mizuki Shiro to be her guardian, and it is not only himself who is nervous of this decision.
Though their budding friendship makes them inseparable, their fairy tale world of happiness may not be enough to keep them safe from the secrets and harsh truths creeping up on them.
(Rated E, with little violence and swearing. Dedicated to and inspired by the musical works of Nightwish and Sonata Arctica.)
