Crown Prince Fritz's fiancée ingested poison.

She was Alexandra Eugenie Hesse of the most prominent ducal house.

Why did she drink the poison herself?

It was due to Crown Prince Fritz, her fiancé, breaking off their engagement.

He tried to ensnare Alexandra in order to make his lover, a baroness, his legitimate queen.

Among them was even Alexandra's own younger brother.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister's son and the legitimate son of the Captain of the Royal Guards were also on the side of the Crown Prince and the baroness.

Alexandra, who as the fiancée knew everything about the royal family, knew what would happen if the engagement were to be annulled as it was. She also understood her own painful predicament.

When Alexandra, who had returned from the brink of life and death, awoke, everything had completely changed. It was a necessary measure for the future of the nation.

What followed for the Crown Prince and his allies, who had declared the annulment, was not the rosy life they had envisioned.

What did they obtain at the end of an endless chain of regret, sorrow, and hatred?
