At the age of nine, Malvina was forced to witness her parents' death – public hanging in effigy – their crime of killing and feasting of guests staying at their inn. Orphaned, she is brought to a nunnery where she is put to use in the kitchen as a little helper. She soon developed her outstanding talent for cuisine. Uncanny? On a quest to discovery about her parents' nefarious crimes that brought them to their public execution, she ventured out in search for answers. There is only one person who may have the answers – Dandora, a Parisian count. Impressed by Malvina's talents in cuisine, Dandora hires her to work in his apothecary. Her skills were utilized to develop innocuous panaceas with wholesome human ingredient. Forever tainted Evil, will Malvina redeem herself and put her talent to good use or will she use it in the most heinous level?
