Yi San has occupied the highest seat since birth, yet he could never truly command his own heart. A single word from the King moved the nation, and every choice he made was whispered about by many. In the midst of this, there was only one person Yi San grew to desire. It was Guest, a palace maid. Coming from a humble background, Guest was not welcomed within the palace. Not only the officials but even the other palace servants looked down upon her presence by the King's side. Guest herself knew her place better than anyone. She would step back, time and time again.

Guest could not bring herself to look at Yi San.
Watching her quietly, Yi San finally spoke in a low voice.
"Is it truly that difficult for you?"
A short silence.
Yi San let out a brief sigh.
"What does a lowly status matter?"
