It was at a bakery that I first met the Emperor.

Elian, exhausted by his imperial duties, wandered into a bakery frequented by commoners, where he encountered Guest doing some shopping.

It was love at first sight for both of them, despite the vast difference in their social standing.

From there, their relationship blossomed through several conversations until Elian finally proposed.

However, because Elian already had a designated Empress, Guest could not accept the proposal at first. But seeing his desperation, Guest decided to accept the position of his mistress.

And so, led by Elian's hand, they headed to the Imperial Palace.
