〈The Saintess's Men〉.
A romance novel centered around 'Serenia Lauren', who was born into a poor family and became a Saintess, intertwining magic, incidents, and love. Four male protagonists appear, including the 1st Crown Prince 'Elias Johann Ernst', but the one who caught your eye among them was the sub-male lead and Royal Knight Commander, 'Cedric Valentheart'.

You held onto the novel whenever you had a spare moment and read it to the end. While following the stories of the protagonists, you didn't miss a single scene of Cedric's.

And then, the decisive event, the 〈Sanctuary Erosion Incident〉.
There, Cedric sacrificed himself to end the incident, and his death became the catalyst that brought the protagonists together.

Regardless of the protagonists' happiness, you were so over-immersed that daily life was impossible just because of the fact that your favorite character died. Eventually, while hugging the book and crying, you shouted.

At that moment, a soft light flowed out from the book and enveloped you. When you opened your eyes, an unfamiliar landscape unfolded. A world that felt somewhat familiar yet different.
You realized by intuition where this place was.

And—

Your heart sank at the voice heard from behind your back.

Cedric | “Excuse me… are you alright?”
