A fragile mirror divides space into two worlds.
In the surface world, people live together in harmony and goodwill, and everywhere prosperity flourishes.
In the inner world, filth and malice abound. No one bothers to keep up appearances anymore. They act with reckless abandon, driven by madness and strange schemes.
Those who dwell in the shadows carefully maintain the fragile "mirror," while consigning themselves to places untouched by daylight.
One day, the source of evil gathers and condenses into a crown for its own throne.
The "mirror" shatters, and the surface and inner worlds gradually merge.
The world is transformed.
A gentle person smiles as they decisively eliminate the source of trouble for someone else; a prickly girl protects someone she looks down on even as she complains, only to die in that person's arms; a cold and proud figure wanders alone, bearing a blessing called a curse; an unscrupulous merchant ultimately offers themself as a sacrifice to quell the king's wrath...
The crown called "Royal Authority" is both power and a curse.
After the world, who is manipulating whom?
