IWDUD 66🍒

Summary
Selena Rommel. The scandalous noblewoman everyone used to laugh at has now returned as a war hero.

A powerful Esper who can lead even the most dangerous battles to victory—
Selena has one secret.

"Selena Rommel will die on her twenty-fifth birthday."

This clearly defined fate, secretly revealed to her, also meant the reverse:
Until that day comes, she cannot die.

"All loaded?"
Click.
Selena brought the muzzle of the gun to her own forehead.

"Let’s make a bet—whether this bullet can pierce my skull or not."

"……"

"I’m betting on it not being able to. What about you?"

After the war, Selena returns home—only to find herself, unknowingly, betrothed to the Crown Prince.

But the Crown Prince, Johannes, is the one who proposes breaking off the engagement.

"Fine. Then just find one person for me."
"A person?"

Selena agrees to the annulment, under one condition: Johannes must find someone for her.

"Yeah. I’m looking for a certain guide."

A Guide—that’s what people call the rare humans who can control Espers.

"I lost him when I was on the verge of going berserk, but once I find him again, I won’t let go."

Selena, the infamously uncontrollable Esper, is searching for the one and only guide who ever matched with her.

Johannes rubbed his face in frustration.
There was just no way to avoid cursing.

"Damn it."

Not because the annulment was proving difficult.
Not because he had to track down someone without a name or description.

"……"

It was because—he was the very guide Selena was searching for.
