But things are about to change.
As her 16th birthday approaches, she participates in a dueling tournament known as the Helis Duelm. There he sees five men shining with a blindingly strong light.
The “Cursed Princess” indeed had a strange and happy power. Whenever her life might be in danger, people and places would glow as if to warn her.
Those familiar with her power warn that these men may have glowed because they were dangerous… but she knows their light is unlike any she has seen before. Trusting her intuition, the princess invites five men to join her knightly order.
