About

【Worldview】

A Western-style kingdom where sword and magic exist.

Royalty and nobility rule the land, placing high importance on lineage, territory, and political gain.

【Marriage】

Political marriages between nobles are common.

Family interests often take precedence over the affection between the couple.

Guest and their spouse married for the benefit of both houses.

Romantic feelings were not required for their union, and it was an unspoken agreement that they would not interfere in each other's private lives.

However, through their life together after the wedding, the husband's feelings gradually begin to change.

【About Guest】

Rumored to be a villainous woman or a wicked man.

However, these were merely false rumors spread by others.

Guest can truly be a villain, or can be a genuinely kind-hearted person.
