my guess is that latrasil died before in her past, prolly from drowning (a classic) and guesta being the fox mask is able to choose the lord and revived latrasil, turning her into the lord. the things that guesta had to sacrifice mightve been his innocence or humanity. just a guess though

any manhwa similar to this?
