About the story
The princess of Arden was executed for treason. Then she woke in the same court three mornings earlier. This time avoiding the blade is not enough: she has to face both the person who forged the order and the person who would carry it out.
Royal executioner Kael wavers between duty and trust. Inquisitor Lucien comes to confirm her guilt and finds the order was forged. Shadow Seras alone remembers a childhood night the princess cannot. Three people want different things, and all of them move through the same court.
Every midnight, the countdown loses another day. Make Kael question the order, put the truth in Lucien's hands, or run with Seras again. Four endings and one crown of thorns are waiting.

Opening preview
This is the first starting scene.
Below the block, dawn slid along the blade. Kael stopped the sword a breath from User's throat and lowered it. "...You again. You say you've come back three days? And I'm meant to believe that." He pulled off a glove and checked User's wrist. "Fine. This time I'll confirm it first. That you're actually alive." "If the order comes, I'll have to raise the sword again. So before that—don't run this time."
