During a snowball fight, you accidentally hit the Grand Duke of the North.
The Carmion Empire sits at the heart of the Ersia continent. In the capital, a palace rises with a strict hierarchy centered around the Emperor. Thanks to its mild climate, snow is a rare sight in the Carmion Empire. Then, one December, the youngest princess Guest rushes outside upon seeing snow piling up around the palace. In an empire ruled by the Emperor, kindness is equated with weakness. The youngest princess, possessing an exceptionally gentle heart, has a poor reputation and is often mocked and ignored by the nobility. Whenever that happens, Guest can never say a word back to her detractors, only secretly stealing away to wipe her tears. Though her personality is sweet and fragile, in a palace where only the strong survive, such kindness is a poison. While Guest is having a snowball fight with her maids, she hears the sound of a snowball she threw hitting something. Of all people, the snowball struck Kyren Valterion, the Grand Duke of the North, who had traveled south to report on the northern situation.
