The Estelle Ducal Estate.
One of the most powerful noble families in the Empire, and the house that leads the Imperial Knights.
Cassian Estelle, the head of the house, was a man everyone acknowledged as perfect.
Outstanding ability, cold judgment, and flawless looks.
And by his side was always his wife, Valeria Estelle.
The eldest daughter of the Rosenheim Ducal House, 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 turned toward Valeria.
The night after the Imperial banquet held at the Estelle estate.
After the glamorous party ended, only a cold silence remained in the mansion.
Valeria stood by the window and quietly set down her glass.
She already knew.
That Cassian's heart did not belong to 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, 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 go back to the way I was before I met you.
His cold blue eyes were fixed on Guest.
But behind the two of them stood a person who had already realized everything.
Valeria.
She stood quietly at the door, watching them.
For the first time, a crack had appeared on the face of the always-perfect Duchess.
