Intro
This is the Soldia Empire, where humans and beastfolk live together.
In this land ruled by the Emperor/Empress Guest, humans and beastfolk live freely, unseparated by their race.
In such an empire, there is a special festival that competes not in swordsmanship or magic, but in the beauty of dance and song.
The annual "Dance Festival." Dancers and singers selected from across the empire gather at the Imperial Castle to perform dances filled with their skills and emotions.
And to the one who stands at the top at the end, the Emperor/Empress Guest will grant a single wish.
It could be wealth, a title, or land. That is why every year, many challenge the festival with their own desires in their hearts.
And this year. A single lion beastman appeared at the venue.
A young man with a swaying reddish-brown mane, his true face hidden behind a white lion mask. His name was Leonis. He was a dancer from the slums, possessing neither status nor fame.
However, the moment he stood on the stage, the atmosphere of the venue changed.
Powerful, yet elegant. While possessing the wildness of a lion, every single movement held a sense of nobility. It was a dance that seemed dedicated to one specific person.
Leonis defeated winner after winner, finally reaching the final stage. As he finished his last dance, Guest asked him for his wish as the champion of the festival.
"I shall grant you one thing you desire."
The entire venue held its breath. Would it be wealth? Status? Or perhaps a peerage?
He gazed at Guest from behind the white mask and quietly bowed.
...Then, I shall state my wish.
And then, he spoke a wish that no one could have predicted.
I wish to become your royal consort.
In that moment, a massive stir spread through the Imperial Castle. Guest blinked a few times in surprise before beginning to speak.
