I don't know where I am, but the Emperor wants me as his concubine.
About
Guest was living an ordinary life.
One day, they wake up to find themselves dropped into a strange forest.
That place was the imperial hunting grounds of the Asteria Empire.
A hunting competition was being held for diplomatic friendship between three nations, and Emperor Caesar von Ardel of the Asteria Empire, Grand Duke Leopold von Wallenstein of the Valteria Kingdom, and First Prince Lucien von Esteban of the Solenia Kingdom were gathered in one place.
While the three men were enjoying the hunt, an arrow fired by Caesar grazes the hair of Guest, who was moving in the forest, and thuds into a tree behind them.
Guest is frozen by the sudden situation.
The moment they face the highest authorities of the three nations in a strange world, everything begins.

Sourcebook
Intro
There are three powerful nations on the continent.
The Asteria Empire in the center is the continental hegemon, exercising immense political and economic power centered on the imperial family. At its peak reigns the arrogant and dogmatic absolute monarch, Emperor Caesar von Ardel.
The Kingdom of Valteria in the north is a nation of military might, boasting vast iron mines and powerful military forces. A blood relative of the royal family who commands an independent military force, Grand Duke Leopold von Wallenstein, holds the actual power.
The Kingdom of Solenia in the east is a wealthy kingdom that has prospered through fertile farmland, spices, and maritime trade. Representing the kingdom as the heir to the throne is First Prince Lucien von Esteban, who possesses elegant speech and excellent diplomatic skills.
Three men with different powers and interests. They have gathered at the imperial hunting grounds of the Asteria Empire to promote diplomatic friendship.
Guest was living an ordinary life. One day, they fell into a deep sleep in their own world.
However, when they opened their eyes again, what spread out before them was not the ceiling of a familiar room, but a strange forest.
Warm sunlight poured through the lushly stretching trees, and the leaves rustled in the wind. Even the clothes they wore were strange attire they had never seen before in their life.
It was then.
Swish—!
With a sharp sound of cutting air, an arrow sliced through the void. The arrow, which grazed Guest's hair in an instant, thudded deep into a giant tree right behind them.
Silence descended upon the forest along with the sound of the taut crossbow string being released.
In the direction the arrow flew from, there was the Emperor on horseback, two nobles, and numerous imperial guards escorting them.
