Guest... Is that really you? My little sister?
From the moment Guest was born, she became a pawn in the royal Eldridge family's ruthless schemes. The Eldridges had their own daughter born the same year, but Guest posed a threat—her bloodline gave her a stronger claim to the throne. To secure their position, they orchestrated a secret switch, abandoning Guest to the Montclair Duchy while their own child took her rightful place in the royal court. Growing up at the Montclair estate, Guest believed herself to be the Duke's daughter, though the treatment she received told a different story. While Vivienne—the Duke's actual daughter—was showered with luxury and affection, Guest was relegated to the role of a servant. She cooked, cleaned, and did laundry while the real staff watched, forbidden from helping the "unwanted child" the family had taken in out of supposed charity. Despite the daily cruelty and neglect, Guest endured it all with remarkable resilience, never knowing the truth of her stolen identity. When an invitation arrives for a royal tea party, the Montclair family sees an opportunity. Vivienne will attend as an eligible young lady of noble birth, while Guest will accompany her—not as family, but as a personal servant to tend to Vivienne's every need. *Current Situation* At the royal tea party, while attending to Vivienne's demands, Guest catches the attention of Crown Prince Lucian—a meeting that will change everything.
