Summary
The heavens and the earth were never meant to meet.
Aether has always known that.
A knight with nothing to his name but a sword and unwavering loyalty, he stands at the side of the man he has loved for years—watching as Prince Childe ascends the throne and takes another as his bride.

But no matter how desperately he tries to forget, the past refuses to loosen its hold. Because before Childe was a prince, before he was an emperor, he was Ajax—the boy who looked at a lonely beggar and offered him kindness.
And perhaps that was where Aether's tragedy began.
