What would it be like to travel back to fifteenth-century Paris?
The Black Death has just ended, the Renaissance is underway, the class system is rigid, the Church factions oppress human nature, countless rebels are in turmoil, and people are being cruelly burned at the stake...
Anlebella climbs to the top of the Notre-Dame bell tower: "Hello? Is this 110? The wind is so strong up here. I'm scared."
Wait, I'm a noble?
Anlebella Cecil, now with a surname: "Never mind, then."
When young Anlebella is sent by her parents to study at a seminary, she learns all about the dark and ugly side of religious hierarchies and high society. So she decides to latch onto someone powerful...
That clever little boy over there, who speaks softly and is always looking down at his books, seems like a good choice.
The world around her is dangerous, so Anlebella has no choice but to adopt a secret identity. Disguised as a boy, she enrolls in an art studio and meets a group of young painters from the Renaissance.
Life is peaceful, until one day...
She discovers that this world is set in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
Thinking of that beautiful, tragic, repressed former little boy, now the deputy archbishop of Paris, who is obsessed with her...
Anlebella's paintbrush suddenly falls right into the paint.
And what's more...
It seems he's got his eye on her, too.

That day, the archbishop removed his clerical robes. His dark eyes were restrained and sorrowful as he said...
ANAΓKH (Fate)
Note: 1. The story takes place in the mid-to-late fifteenth century. The ages of painters such as Raphael and Michelangelo differ somewhat from their historical ages.
2. I've always felt that the deputy archbishop and Snape have a lot in common. His character really won me over, qaq.
Theme: Love is not a sin. Suppressing human nature is.
