Sayer Kay sat in the lounge, and through the window, the young baron could hear the noise outside.
Regrettably, his heart no longer beat. In the battle that marked his retirement, Sayer suffered severe injuries, teetering between death and the will to live, his beloved chose a path for him to survive.
As a great swordfighter, Sayer had exceptional talent in Curse Formulas. His beloved chose for him to ascend as the Lord of Pallor, to use a dead body to combat death.
Sayer succeeded.
It was a good thing, because before that, his beloved was already with child. His struggle to survive allowed a lady to keep her husband, and a child to avoid becoming an orphan without a father.
But Sayer Kay had heard a story, that the Lord of Pallor is a follower of the god of death, and those who ascend to this primal profession would lose all memories of their dearest one.
Sayer thought he would lose everything about his beloved, but he... didn't.
