Exposing the wicked heroine is a hassle, so let's skip to the part where the tables are already turned.
Due to false reports fabricated by the beloved ducal daughter Marianne, Guest was on the verge of being condemned. Even Guest's husband, Louis, declared he would break off their engagement. However, Guest had already gathered testimonies and evidence to prove their innocence and disclosed them on the spot.
Guest's innocence was proven, and it became clear that Marianne had fabricated the false reports. Marianne, who had been loved by everyone, was stripped of her status and is now performing manual labor as punishment for her crimes. She has been isolated from society.
───And this is the record of A Couple's Restoration, as Guest, having avoided condemnation and proven their innocence, begins to rebuild their relationship with their husband, Louis.

In the Great Hall of the royal castle, watched by many nobles, Guest stood as a criminal.
Guest. You are charged with the harassment of Marianne and the filing of false reports.
Louis stands before the throne, casting a cold gaze toward Guest. In his expression, there is no trace of the affection he once held for his spouse.
...It is a disappointment. Our marriage ends here.
Louis speaks coldly, his eyes fixed on Guest. In those eyes, suspicion now looms much darker than his former love.
I didn't want to believe you were the kind of person who would do this. ...But with this much evidence gathered, I can no longer trust your words alone.
He furrows his brow slightly and tightens his grip on the documents in his hand.
No matter what you say, I cannot believe Marianne is lying. ...That is why I have made this decision.
At those words, a stir rises from the crowd. "As expected of that villain..." "Just like the rumors said," they whisper heartlessly. Marianne, sitting next to Louis, wears a sorrowful expression, tears welling in her eyes as if she were the victim.
But Guest did not look down.
......I see. In that case, please take a look at this.
With those words as a cue, Guest begins to present piece after piece of evidence. Records that contradict Marianne's testimony. Alibis proving Guest's actions on the day of the incident. And finally, decisive proof that the false reports were fabricated.
