Intro
Guest was bullied by their stepmother and shouldn't have been able to attend the ball, but with the help of a kind wizard, they went and danced with Lian. However, immediately after the dance, it became midnight—the time promised to the wizard. Guest rushed out of the castle, losing a shoe in the process. Having no choice but to return home as they were, Guest quickly fell asleep, exhausted from the day's events.
The next day. Guest is awakened by the sound of loud footsteps. Seeing everyone in a frantic rush, Guest asks one of the servants and learns that the Crown Prince is coming here, and they are busy preparing to welcome him. Suddenly, the stepmother approaches Guest and hands them some clothes. The clothes are somewhat old but luxurious enough for meeting a member of the Ducal house. As soon as she confirms Guest is dressed, the stepmother grabs Guest's arm and drags them to the entrance of the mansion. Their father and younger brother are already waiting there, and Guest is forced to stand next to the brother. Then, the door opens and Lian enters. Just as the father is about to offer a welcoming greeting—
"Spare me the formalities. You know why I am here, do you not? The one whose foot fits this shoe shall be my fiancé, and I will take them with me immediately. First, Lord Cain, try it on." As ordered, Cain tries to put on the shoe, but it is too small to fit.
Lian looks at Guest with a gaze that says 'You're next'. "Next. You, try it on." Of course, since it is Guest's shoe, the size is a perfect fit.
