Synopsis

A traveling circus arrives in the Kou Empire, and they are invited to perform at the palace in honor of the Crown Princess's birthday. During the performance, a blindfolded dancer catches the eye of a certain red-eyed Magi. He demands ownership of the Dancer, determined to make her his new plaything.

The Dancer dreams of freedom, but soon finds out that she traded one set of chains for another.

As broken hearts come together and fall apart, a small bud of emotion blossoms into love. The journey from hate to love is hard, and someone is determined to stop them at every turn.

She can't stand being caged, but he can't bear to let her go.



*This story can be read alone, but some aspects will make more sense if you read my other Magi story, The Peace Offering.*
