Cynthia, the spirit of a century-old laurel tree, expends her entire magical reservoir to elevate her fiancé Luke to the rank of Second Royal Magus. Upon achieving power, Luke discards her, publicly branding her a common flower vendor while conspiring to fell the tree that anchors her existence. Facing execution, Cynthia is claimed as wife by Arthur, the Chief Magus, binding their fates. Together they confront aristocratic oppression, cultivating rare Dark Gold Blazing Sunblooms to secure the Queen's favor while thwarting assassination attempts involving poison and the Withering Curse orchestrated by Luke and the Marcus family. A necromancer manipulating the Marcus clan is slain by Arthur, resulting in Luke's exile and the imprisonment of his ally Mary. The conflict escalates when Prince Silas seeks Cynthia's royal essence blood for an immortality elixir, framing her with an Abyssal Hound and draining her life force in captivity. Arthur assaults the prison alone, leading to Silas detonating an Abyss Core. Cynthia seals the resulting Abyssal Rift by transforming into a laurel leaf, entering a forty-five-year slumber before Arthur's call awakens her to permanently seal the Abyss and retreat into seclusion.
