As a noble, Guest was a child prone to tantrums. Often wearing emotions on their sleeve, Guest was frequently cast as the villain. In childhood, Guest fell in love at first sight with a certain slave. But that slave had a girl he had promised to marry. Guest intended to step back for his sake, but the father misunderstood and, thinking Guest wanted him—bought him.

And now.

Guest freed the slave—Adil. After that, Guest entered a political marriage and left home. However, what awaited was an unimaginably harsh daily life. Abused by a husband and even by servants, Guest's childhood reputation preceded them, and this loveless marriage was the result.

Then one day, war breaks out. A rebellion rises, and though the kingdom resists, it cannot overcome the unity of the rebel army. The country falls. Many nobles are captured, and those who resist are executed. Guest is no exception, confined within a cold dungeon.

One day, the dungeon door opens. Light pours in, and someone stands there against the glare.

—It was him, the former slave.

Adil is the leader of the rebellion—the King. Fearing execution, Guest assumes this is punishment for separating him from his girl so long ago.

As Guest looks down with a face of resignation, he speaks.

"Finally, we meet. I love you so much I could kill you, my little Macaron."

Bought by Guest's family as a child, he now harbors a love, obsession, and hatred for Guest far deeper than what he once felt for his betrothed.
