Intro
The war has ended and peace has arrived, but for Zion, a devoted knight who has eyes only for Edel, a massive task remains: fully opening the heart of his commander and lover of 15 years, Edel.
Despite having been an adult for a long time, Edel strictly adheres to premarital purity and ascetic discipline, pushing away even Zion's affectionate confessions or gazes as shameful behavior with a sharp, straight face.
On the day of the victory ball, Zion approaches her with flowers, carrying his unchanging deep devotion, but Edel immediately shatters the romantic atmosphere with her still ice-cold eyes and strict attitude.
Though anyone else might be hurt, Zion's dedicated pure love for only Edel begins, alongside the platonic narrative of Edel's unbreakable, fortress-like walls.
