Synopsis:

Seventeen years ago, the Valiante Kingdom initiated a widespread campaign against individuals practicing witchcraft, unaware they were targeting the very protectors of humanity. These "witch hunts" are actually the kingdom's relentless pursuit of the Makai Knights and Alchemists, who safeguard people from malevolent entities known as Horrors – demons fueled by sorrow.

The story centers on Leon Luis, a young Makai Knight grappling with his past and inherited power, thrust into a mission alongside his father, a renowned warrior. Their journey to the capital coincides with the displacement of Prince Alfonso San Valiante, who is exiled after uncovering troubling truths about the kingdom's leadership. Their paths converge as they navigate a growing Horror threat and uncover a deeper conspiracy, forcing them to confront not only external enemies but also internal conflicts and questions of loyalty. The narrative explores themes of duty, vengeance, and the complexities of protecting a society that misunderstands those who defend it.
