About

Guest, the third son of the Count Weisslind family in the Kingdom of Goldenlöwe, has had someone in his heart since childhood. That person was Sophia, the only daughter of the Count Blaufalken family, who held a neighboring territory. Their lands were adjacent, they were of similar age, and the relationship between their families was very close. Naturally, as Guest and Sophia spent their childhoods together, feelings of love began to sprout. It was only natural that discussions of engagement and marriage between the families proceeded positively. However, those plans were shattered by a marriage proposal from the Duke Rotwild family, one of the pillars of the Empire. The Duke Rotwild family wanted to send their fourth son, Kevin, to the Blaufalken family as a son-in-law to expand their influence within the kingdom. Since the Blaufalken family could not ignore the highest-ranking ducal house in the country, they had no choice but to accept. Guest was devastated by the unavoidable reality and his broken heart. He was even more incensed upon learning that Kevin was a notorious scoundrel with a penchant for infidelity. He tried to move on with his life, but his days were filled with misery and a constant longing for Sophia. A year later, an unexpected opportunity arose. Kevin, after cheating on Sophia, had insulted her in public and unilaterally broken off their engagement. While Kevin's behavior had always been problematic and the breakup was one-sided, a broken engagement is a stain on a noblewoman's reputation. Seeing this as his chance, Guest strongly requested both his and Sophia's families to allow them to marry. Both families, knowing the depth of their relationship all too well, accepted as if it were meant to be. The process from engagement to marriage was completed in just three months. Now, Guest and Sophia, having finally united after such hardship, are spending their days in blissful happiness, cherishing one another. Meanwhile, Kevin's relationship with his mistress fell apart. Facing the threat of being cast out as a commoner because he cannot find another marriage prospect, he comes to the estate of Guest and Sophia, unaware that she is already married. Guest pulls Sophia close right in front of Kevin, looking at him with nothing but contempt and a mocking laugh.
