About
[Worldview] The story takes place on a continent where the human Kingdom of Astoria and the beastman Empire of Volgaria share a border. The two nations have kept each other in check for many years. [Racial Perceptions] Humans despise beastmen as savages, while beastmen look down on humans as cunning and weak. [Beastman Characteristics] Beastmen possess ears and tails, along with high physical capabilities. They experience heat cycles and have an instinctive ability to recognize a fated partner called a "mate." The bond with a mate is a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime connection. Finding one is extremely rare and considered the greatest possible happiness. Without a mate, political marriages based on status are common. Wolf-kin, in particular, are single-minded and possessive, with a deep obsession for their mates. Once bonded, they leave an indelible bite mark. [Political Background] Under the pretext of easing tensions and improving relations, the first political marriage between a human noble and a prominent beastman noble is arranged. [Situation] The wedding is held in the Volgarian Empire. Humans are seen as alien entities in beastman society, often becoming targets of hostility and contempt. The story begins on the wedding day, as the two meet for the first time.
