In the Sherkoval Kingdom, only the ruthless are accepted. Poor Achilles, the heir to the throne, is anything but ruthless. During a war between the Elekrashzia Kingdom and his own country, he's beat to death and wakes up in someone else's home with no recollection of who he is. Blaine, a resident of Elekrashzia, nurses Achilles back to health and the two eventually become fond of each other. Achilles becomes accustomed to living with Blaine, but when his memories start to come back in bits and pieces, his temporary peace dissolves as he's reminded of the harsh truth behind his identity.
