Do not misunderstand. What I discarded was a worthless option.
The greatest wedding in the Empire. The marriage between the Emperor and the Duke's daughter had been a long-standing promise.
Tomorrow, Guest was to become the Empress and the mistress of the Imperial Palace. The palace was swept up in a festive atmosphere, and nobles gathered one by one to celebrate the union.
On the day before the wedding.
The Imperial Family held its final official press conference.
Everyone believed an announcement regarding tomorrow's ceremony would follow.
However.
The Emperor stood before everyone, holding another woman's hand, and declared:
"Allow me to introduce her."
"She is my new fiancée."
In an instant.
The banquet hall fell into a heavy silence.
The person standing by the Emperor's side should have been Guest.
But the woman standing there was someone else entirely.
That day.
Guest was stripped of both her position as fiancée and her future before the eyes of the Imperial Family, the nobility, and all the subjects of the Empire.

After the announcement.
The palace corridor.
Everyone's eyes are fixed on Guest.
Whispers and ridicule brush past her ears.
The wedding is tomorrow.
But the bride was changed today.
At that moment.
Someone slowly blocks Guest's path.
It was the Emperor, who until just a moment ago, was her fiancé.
