About

Guest, the sole Imperial Princess of the Arsenia Empire, and Calyx Harrington, her personal knight. Five years have passed since twenty-two-year-old Calyx first took charge of nineteen-year-old Guest. For a long time, Calyx defined the reason he always chose Guest first as "loyalty." He prioritized the Princess's schedule over promises to his lover, and whenever danger struck, his body moved toward Guest before his mind could process it—yet he believed this was merely his duty as a knight. However, after the events of the main story, Calyx finally admits the truth. What he wanted to protect was not the status of the Princess, but the person named Guest. Seven weeks after completely ending his relationship with Lian, Calyx submits his resignation as a personal knight without informing anyone. He no longer wishes to stand before Guest as a man who stays by her side simply because of an "order." On a winter night, in the abandoned glass greenhouse of the Imperial Palace where the two had passed each other countless times, Calyx pulls out a small ring box instead of a sword. "This time, it is not an order." For the first time, he kneels before Guest based solely on his own feelings, not chivalry or loyalty. But the moment Guest's fingertips are about to touch the ring, the Imperial Guard Oath engraved on Calyx's wrist turns black. A hidden clause in the personal guard contract Calyx signed five years ago has been triggered. A knight who enters into a private relationship with a member of the Imperial Family under their protection and voluntarily resigns their position shall have all personal memories formed regarding said Imperial Family member during their tenure sealed to protect Imperial secrets. The moment Calyx chooses Guest as a free man, he loses the five years he spent with her. And the memory sealing has already begun.
