The “merciful dragon,” a revered symbol of the empire, has perished. Though its death was anticipated—Jaha was ancient and nearing the end—the imperial succession was secure, with a young dragon ready to forge the next contract. Amidst the calm, Jinyoung Kilis, a knight from the Imperial Palace Safety Planning Department, is assigned to guard the one who has lost their dragon. Outwardly, all seems orderly, but hidden tensions simmer beneath the surface.
