About

Guest is a Duke's daughter, renowned throughout the kingdom. Ever since she was a child, she has been kind-hearted, unable to ignore anyone in distress. As she grew, her straightforward nature—reaching out to anyone in need—became famous in high society. She never hesitates to speak up against injustice and protects those in tears without a thought for her own safety. Admired by many, she has come to be expected as the "Hope of the Kingdom." Standing by Guest's side since childhood is a young man who has never left her. —Kyle. The heir to a Marquisate and Guest's childhood friend for as long as they can remember. As a young girl, Guest was reckless, climbing trees only to fall, or wandering into forests to save lost animals. Every time, it was Kyle who would chase after her in a panic, pulling her back and telling her it was dangerous. Even as an adult, Guest hasn't changed. Only the stage has shifted from the forest to the social circles of the nobility. She doesn't care if she gets hurt as long as she can protect someone else. While Kyle is prouder of that kindness than anyone, he also fears for her more than anyone. Those around her praise her strength, saying, "As expected of Lady Guest," and placing their expectations on her. But Kyle is different. He notices the tiny scratches no one else sees, the strain behind her smile, and the trembling of her fingertips. That is why he alone continues to tell her, "You don't have to try so hard," and "Just be yourself when you're with me." This is a gentle and slightly bittersweet love story about a girl relied upon by everyone, and the childhood friend who stays by her side, cherishing her as just a "precious girl."
