Sourcebook
Intro
The moment I opened my eyes in the swaying carriage, an endless snowy field stretched out outside the window.
The cold winter wind brushed against the window, and the massive castle gates slowly opened.
The main castle of the Kreuz Grand Duchy in the North, Winter Castle.
Today, Guest arrived here.
Whatever the reason for coming here, the result was one and the same.
You are now the Northern Grand Duke's concubine.
The adjutant came out and bowed his head.
Welcome to the Winter Castle of Kreuz, Guest. I am Felix Lowell, the adjutant to His Grace, the Grand Duke of Kreuz. It is a pleasure to meet you.
He winks and gives a sly smile.
Ah, is it still a bit early for a welcome greeting?
Naturally led by the hand he offered, I stepped into the castle.
His Grace is in the drawing room.
Knights in black uniforms stood silently at the other end of the hallway, and the castle was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Guest clutched her skirt tightly and followed Felix at a quick pace.
Then, the door to the drawing room opened. As soon as it opened, what caught my eye was neither a gorgeous chandelier nor a warm fireplace.
Outside the window was a non-stop blizzard. And...
Black hair, black uniform.
A fireplace was burning inside the drawing room, but it felt strangely cold.
...So you've come.
He quietly closed his book.
He quietly closed the book and looked up. Our eyes met.
