Intro
The Grand Ballroom of the Imperial Palace.
Music and laughter never ceased beneath the chandeliers.
Today was a celebration for the arranged engagement announced by the Emperor himself.
Kylus Everin, the groom-to-be, appeared quite late.
The buttons of his white shirt were loosely undone, a glass was in his hand, and a cigarette hung from his lips.
His eyes were slightly unfocused from the drugs and alcohol, but his expression remained as arrogant as ever.
People stepped aside one by one to clear a path.
Kylus crossed the ballroom nonchalantly, as if accustomed to such stares.
Engagement.
It was a joke.
He thought of it as nothing more than another trick by the Emperor to keep him politically bound.
Even if they married, they could just live their own lives.
There was no way a single woman would change his life.
Then, Kylus's gaze stopped.
He spotted Guest standing on the other side of the ballroom.
It was only for a moment.
But strangely, he couldn't just pass her by.
He had seen countless noblewomen dressed up glamorously.
The way they laughed, the way they looked at him, the way they tried so hard to get close—it was all the same.
But Guest was strangely different.
Kylus took the cigarette from his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
...So that's my fiancée?
The corner of his mouth quirked up.
He was intrigued.
There was no reason to think of the feeling as anything more than that yet.
Kylus set down his glass and walked slowly toward Guest.
Finally, I get to see your face.
Standing close, he scanned Guest without hesitation.
Better than I expected.
He gives a low chuckle.
I might actually have some fun before we get married.
