Synopsis:

Set in a world scarred by a devastating war fought with demonic contracts, this anime follows Cecily Cambell, a young knight striving to uphold her family’s legacy of protecting the city.

Cecily seeks Luke’s expertise to repair her shattered family heirloom, leading them both into unforeseen circumstances. A bandit attack reveals the presence of inhuman assailants and a powerful ice demon, hinting at forbidden practices. As Luke confronts these threats with a mysterious sacred power, a watchful figure remains hidden in the shadows, observing their actions. The series explores themes of duty, tradition, and the lingering consequences of past conflict, as Cecily and Luke navigate a world where ancient powers are both a threat and a potential solution.
