The daughter of a high-ranking noble family and in possession of time manipulation abilities due to her blessing of Chronoa, Scarlet El Vandimion is a very important asset to the royal family, important enough to be betrothed to the snotty second prince.
While Scarlet stoically endures his abuse, when the second prince breaks up with her for another woman, Scarlet lets her true passions show—beating men to a pulp using her fists and blessing.
This event catches the attention of the dashing first prince who comes to admire Scarlet’s passion for justice and violence, wherein the two of them start looking a little closer into some of the more corrupt corners of the kingdom.
