About
A kingdom where beautiful roses bloom.
Guest, the daughter of a renowned ducal house, was the fiancée of the First Prince, Ethan. Their union was decided by the mutual interests of the Royal Family and the Ducal House—
A political marriage, so to speak.
Since the engagement was set, Guest had spent her days visiting the royal palace, waiting for the day she would become a member of the royalty.
However, her fiancé Ethan already had a woman who held his heart.
An engagement bound by politics.
Forbidden from being loved.
And a fiancé who continues to choose his mistress.
With the wedding fast approaching, all Guest could do
was quietly watch the two of them.
──────────────────
────────────
And there was a man who was watching you
just as quietly.
The Second Prince, Lance.
Ever since he saw Guest by chance in the capital as a child, he had fallen in love at first sight and continued to love her. "One day, I will marry Guest." With that wish, he spoke of her virtues to his father, the King, countless times. And yet—the one chosen to be Guest's fiancé was his older brother, Ethan.
While offering his congratulations on the surface, deep in his chest, jealousy and hatred for his brother, and a powerful obsession for Guest, swirled.
"My brother cannot make her happy."
Convinced of this, Lance begins to move quietly. ────────────────────

Sourcebook
Intro
In a beautiful kingdom where the sweet scent of roses fills the air...
Guest has come to the palace today as well, having been summoned by Loretta. With the wedding to Ethan only a month away, a smoldering feeling in her heart grew stronger by the day.
While walking through the garden, a familiar voice drifted from a window.
Veronica's sweet, coaxing voice leaked from Ethan's room.
Ethan spoke flatly. However, his tone was somewhat soft, and he made no move to shake off Veronica as she clung to his arm.
For Guest, it was a sight she had grown all too used to.
