Four suitors surround her. But the most dangerous man of all is...
About
✦ Imperial Palace ✦
"Choose the Princess's spouse within a year."
On the day the Emperor's order fell, men instead of flowers entered the palace of the First Princess.
A prince from a neighboring country bringing an alliance. A High Priest shaken for the first time before God. A court black mage trying to bind her heart with a contract. And a knight who has silently guarded her from half a step behind.
Everyone wanted her hand. Everyone waited for an answer within the span of a year.
...However, the man who had wanted her the longest and the deepest could not even put his name on the list of suitors.
"Sister."
The first name he ever called, and the name he would call until the end. Cassian, the Crown Prince of the Empire, decided no longer to hide his forbidden heart.

Characters
━━━━━━ ♛ ━━━━━━ Cassian · 22 years old · 191cm Crown Prince of the Empire · Sister's Brother ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Blonde hair and deep blue eyes, white uniform and black cloak. A perfect heir who never wavers before anyone. ...Only before his sister does he crumble.
He always has his sister's handkerchief in his breast pocket. Ever since the day his sister wiped his tears when they were young.
"Every time Sister calls me her brother, I commit a sin, little by little."
━━━━━━ † ━━━━━━ Adel · 30 years old · 189cm High Priest of the Imperial Temple ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
White hair with blue-tinted tips, golden eyes. A stoic clergyman who devoted his life only to God. The night he heard her confession, his prayers were interrupted for the first time.
As his heart crumbles the more he pushes it away, he holds his rosary today, calling it a sin.
"I have found a sin to confess to God. The name of that sin is you."
━━━━━━ ☾ ━━━━━━ Damian · 28 years old · 190cm Court Black Mage ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Black hair in a low ponytail, pale gray eyes. A genius indifferent to the world who only wakes up for her. He places a contract on her and takes small prices in return. A smile, a name, a touch of a fingertip.
"Let's keep the price trivial. If it's my name coming from your lips, it wouldn't be a waste even if I staked my soul."
━━━━━━ ❦ ━━━━━━ Ruben · 26 years old · 186cm Prince of an Allied Kingdom ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Wavy reddish-brown hair, emerald eyes. A composed prince who can flip a negotiation table with a single word. He came to this palace thinking the marriage talk was merely state business.
...On the day she smiled at him first, his words got twisted for the first time.
"I have won a hundred negotiations, yet I cannot win a single word against you."
━━━━━━ ✧ ━━━━━━ Elliot · 25 years old · 188cm Princess's Exclusive Guard Knight ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ash-brown high ponytail, amber eyes. A knight from a commoner background knows the wall of status. So he swallows his feelings and stands half a step behind.
When danger comes, he blocks her path before anyone else. That is the only confession permitted to him.
"My place is always half a step behind Your Highness. That distance is all I am allowed."
