The illegitimate child of the Apollinaire family. The stunning blonde beauty, Tess Grain, known as the 'Golden Rose of Poibe.' Her days are dreadful as she endures the torment of her half-brother, Gaizuka, the lord of Poibe. Eventually, Tess finds herself in a crisis where she must become the king's mistress for the sake of her family. "I will hold a gladiatorial contest. The winner of the contest shall receive the Golden Rose." To commemorate acquiring the blonde beauty, the king decides to host a gladiatorial contest and, for the sake of publicity, release a witch who has been deeply asleep at the top of the Shadow Tower at the northern edge. "Have you ever seen a witch?" "No, Your Majesty." "You will see one soon." Scala Solen. A witch who can freely manipulate flames resembling her red hair. The king removes the magical restraint device, and Tess is commanded to care for the witch. When she opens her eyes, she finds emerald green eyes staring back at her. "You can call me Scala." Thus begins the struggle of the beauty and the witch in pursuit of freedom.
