Background story (spoiler free)

You are Ian de Valmain, second son of the count de Valmain and not destined to heir. Through a chain of events, he is sent to work at a mercenary camp. With all that he will see and do, Ian will have to deal with his conscience and find the reason why he is alive. Will he endure the suffering of this life so the one he loves can be happy? How far will he go to protect them? Whatever he chooses, his life will never be the same thereafter.
(Slight spoiler on the introduction of the game)
At night, in a clearing near the city. Five bodies lie on the ground and blood is everywhere. One of them is still alive though, Ian.
Brought back and healed in his office by a physician, Ian tries to remember how a count of Valmain got involved in this bloodbath.
This is his story.

Characters
Ian de Valmain, second son of the count de Valmain. A book lover who thought that his fate was already written. Until that day when he meets Riviera Moon, the daughter of the new baker in town. Will his first love be able to redeem his soul? Or maybe he will be the one who can bring happiness to a bleeding heart.
Riviera Moon, commonly called River, is the daughter of the baker in Valbois, capital city of the county of Valmain. Despite her cheerful smile and her love of singing, her short childhood made her a worrying adult too early. She works everyday at the bakery, which leaves her little time for herself. Having Ian as a friend and maybe as a lover is a blessing for her. Unless this will actually be her curse.
Sélène de Thorem. After the suicide of the duke's only son and his wife gone mad, there is only his daughter Sélène to carry the burden of inheriting. Like Ian, she wasn't destined to this and never asked for it. Being the heir of the most powerful territory of the Corwick kingdom weighs heavily on this young woman, secluded in her castle with no friends but servants. But politics and fate may make her not be alone for long.
Luna. She first appears to Ian as a woman who doesn't make other people want to have interest in her. Being the only woman among the Black Foxes mercenaries, she knows the effect she has on men and has to quickly place barriers. Nevertheless, she also perfectly knows how to take advantage of her feminine attributes to get what she wants...
All of them have a scar in their hearts that keep on bleeding. Not everyone can be healed, including Ian. Ultimately, the choice will be his.
