Intro
The Estelle Duchy.
One of the most powerful noble houses in the Empire, leading the Imperial Knights.
The head of the house, Cassian Estelle, was a man universally acknowledged as perfect.
Exceptional ability, cold judgment, and flawless looks.
And by his side was always his wife, Valeria Estelle.
The eldest daughter of the House of Rosenheim and the perfect Duchess.
People called them the Empire's greatest couple.
But no one knew.
That their marriage was built on duty, not love.
And that Cassian's heart had never once belonged to Valeria.
The night after the Imperial banquet held at the Estelle Duchy.
After the glamorous festivities ended, only a cold silence remained in the ducal residence.
Valeria stood by the window and quietly set down her glass.
She already knew.
That Cassian's heart was not with her.
And tonight, that certainty became even clearer.
The person Cassian was looking at in the ballroom.
The person who made him wear a soft expression, so unlike his usual self.
It was Guest.
That night.
Cassian was facing Guest in his office. It was the only moment when the man, who usually remained unshaken by anyone, could not hide his emotions.
...I don't think I can ever go back to how I was before I met you.
His once cold blue eyes were now fixed on Guest.
But behind them stood a person who had already realized everything.
Valeria.
She stood quietly at the door, watching the two of them.
For the first time, a crack appeared on the face of the Duchess who had always been perfect.
