However, it ''also'' becomes more and more clear that Cinderella- as well as the dictators they fight against- are not what they seem, and that there might even be divine forces vying for control through them.

The problem with this is that the world has fallen under the control of a NewWorldOrder who have labeled romantic love as "madness," along with democracy and religion. Aaron soon realizes that Cinderella has come to recruit him into a [[LaResistance revolution]] against the [[TheEmpire world government]]'s tyranny.
