For years, Wellmy Ernest has made her half-sister Iora’s life a living nightmare. She forced Iora to obscure her beauty, treated her like a servant, and even stole her fiancé. Their own father and his second wife joined in on the torment, cruelly confiscating Iora’s belongings and forcing her to live in a cold, drab detached building. Now that Iora has turned eighteen, Wellmy is ready for the final insult: marrying her off to Aides Ormirage, the handsome yet heartless mage lord. Tonight, at last, her brilliant scheme will reach its climax at the banquet held by Aides himself. Yet as the villainess prepares for her final act, she is acutely aware that all that awaits her is her own doom. *Source: J-Novel Club, Vol. 1*

Their escape is not only being pursued by the regular Imperial army but also by the strongest informants in the Empire, known as the "Emperor's Six Swords." Why is such formidable power being deployed in secret against a minor noblewoman. The reason lies in Holy’s hidden identity.

When the two people, bound only by a transactional relationship, exchange a final vow, fear and despair will disappear! A tale of a heretical knight, who has strayed far from the ideals of chivalry, begins here! (Source: Dengeki Bunko, translated)
