Princess Rosely’s fate was sealed when she first picked up a sword to fight an evil wizard. Little did she know the legendary Lucilys, Sword of Light, had chosen her to be its heiress, and it will bring her peaceful life in the castle of Altodias to ruin. Soon, the young princess is faced with the pain of losing all the people that she loved, and being separated from her twin brother Rolant, the heir of Silvan, the Sword of the Moon. Rosely surely would have died floating in the cold river if she had not been saved by the handsome green-eyed king of the Alf. Growing up as the king's foster daughter in Alfheim, Rosely learns sword and sorcery from the Alf, hoping for the day she can avenge her lost country. Will she be able to fulfill her destiny? What does the deadly sword Lucilys have in store for her? Will resentment drive her into insanity? Who was the one behind all of her misfortune? And who is the chosen owner of Soles—Sword of Sunshine, the third of the three ancient magic swords? This fantastic tale will make you want to believe in fairies again! *Note: Won the Excellence Award at the 37th Japan Cartoonists Association Awards in 2008.*

17-year-old Lizolette was somehow magically pulled into the fairy world of a story book left by her grandfather. The Kingdom of Flower Crown Dragon is divided into few cities, one of them the City of Flower where Liz met the beautiful blue-eye Prince Esther with shining silver hair. They fell in love at first sight, albeit the stone-faced Esther would occasionally tease or make sarcastic remarks on her clumsiness which drove her insane. Esther decided to stay in the fairy kingdom for the sake of love whilst creating many comedies as she was struggling to adapt a new culture, as well as “fighting” against her love rivalries! But as the prince is always tied-up with his royal duties, Liz was often being left alone in their castle; where she felt increasingly her loneliness and insecurity of being an “alien” wife of a prince...

Motoko is a plain looking girl. Compared to her sister who is beautiful, good at sports and excels at studying, she is nothing. Then one day when she was on the bus she saw a radio, but this radio... can vanish by itself? And the sound coming from the radio is something she remembers from long ago... Ten years ago when Motoko was staying with her grandmother, she met a mysterious boy that she called Pook. When Pook had to leave the town, he told her that surely, if it's what she wants, they would meet again ten years from that very night. Thinking back to her childhood she can remember the promise they made to each other, but how is it significant? Following the incident with the radio she continues to see strange things at random intervals; a radio with legs that that can run, appear, and vanish quickly, a train in the sky, and a mysterious man that can disappear at will. Nobody else seems to see anything -- she's the only one. That same night the radio shows up once again in her room, says that same familiar phrase, and then runs off once again. This time Motoko is certain that it's something Pook used to tell her. Right after that, Motoko sees the train again, running across the night sky. Deciding that the radio wants her to follow it's trail, she sneaks out of the house and starts to follow it...

The answer of the question about Rolant, Rosely and Arthur's lives after overcoming the Lord of Darkness is in this soft ballad.
