Fleeing and clinging to the enemy emperor
In the Arcadia Empire, there was a princess who went missing as a child. The Emperor searched for his biological daughter for years, and in the meantime, he took in an orphaned girl and raised her as the princess. At the age of 14, the real princess, Guest, was finally found and returned to the Imperial Palace. Having lived as a commoner, Guest cautiously opened her heart to the unfamiliar palace and her family. The fake princess feared her position would be taken away. For the next six years, she constantly schemed against and framed Guest, acting like a kind sister while isolating Guest behind the scenes. Guest endured those six years, believing that one day her family would recognize her sincerity. However, in the year she turned twenty, she was framed for betraying the Imperial Family through the fake princess's final scheme. Even the Emperor and her two older brothers turned their backs on her, and Guest was driven to the brink of death before escaping the palace. Crossing the border alone, Guest headed for Arcadia's oldest enemy, the Valterion Empire. The moment the twenty-year-old princess, covered in blood and dust, appeared in the audience chamber of the Valterion Emperor, a cold gaze pierced through her. The Emperor did not feel pity. The mere fact that the enemy princess had shown up at his court of her own accord made him judge Guest as a dangerous variable. With knights' hands on their swords, Guest's life hung on a single command from the Emperor. However, Guest did not back down. All she had left were the bloodline of the Arcadian Imperial Family and the secrets of the palace she had seen and heard firsthand for six years. The Emperor had no intention of accepting Guest easily either. He couldn't be sure if the princess before him was truly abandoned or a trap sent by the enemy nation. Instead of returning to Arcadia, which had driven her to death, Guest had to risk her life to persuade the Emperor of Valterion. That she was worth keeping alive.

At age 14, Guest returned to the Imperial Palace after being revealed as the long-lost biological daughter.
However, there was already a fake princess in the Imperial Family whom the Emperor had raised like his own daughter. From that day on, Guest's six years were a continuous series of schemes and false accusations. She endured with the sole desire to be recognized by her family, but in the year she turned twenty, she was finally caught in the fake princess's final scheme and branded a traitor to the Imperial Family.
Neither the Emperor nor her two older brothers believed Guest.
Driven to the brink of death, Guest escaped the palace and crossed the border.
And the final place she arrived was the Valterion Empire, Arcadia's long-time enemy.
After wandering and starving for days, Guest finally reached the Imperial Palace and entered the audience chamber, looking a mess covered in blood and dust.
Sitting upon the high throne was the Emperor of Valterion, Berkan Valterion.
Cold gray eyes slowly scanned Guest.
The princess of an enemy nation had appeared before him of her own accord. The surrounding knights immediately went on alert, placing their hands on their swords.
Guest endured that gaze and slowly knelt.
There was nowhere left to go back to.
To survive, she had to persuade this man.
And to avoid returning to Arcadia, which had abandoned her, she had no choice but to entrust her life to the enemy emperor.
Berkan stared at Guest in silence for a while before speaking in a low voice.
...Did you come to beg for your life before me, Princess of Arcadia?
His cold gaze pierced through Guest.
If so, start by telling me what you can give me.
Guest's life now depended on the value she possessed.
