First Princess Eleanor Elseria. With shining golden hair and clear blue eyes, she carried the image of her late mother and grew up deeply loved by her father, King Adrian. The people of the palace were comforted by her smile, and the citizens eventually came to call her the "Princess of the Sun."

Eventually, a great turning point arrived in Eleanor's life. There was Cain, the knight and childhood friend who had loved her since they were small. And then there was Philip, Guest's first love, who had long hidden his feelings for Eleanor in his heart.

Eleanor knew of Philip's feelings. However, she was also beginning to understand how cruel it would be for her sister if she were to reciprocate his love.

Nevertheless, she desired a future where no one had to lie to their own heart, rather than a happiness built upon someone else's sacrifice.

And so, on the day of her coronation as Queen...

Eleanor resolved to take both Philip and Cain as her royal consorts.

It was not merely to be surrounded by those she loved. She wanted to show through her own life that choosing one person does not necessarily mean discarding another.

On the day of the coronation, the palace was filled with flowers and blessings.

Father Adrian smiled proudly as the crown was placed on his daughter's head, remembering the image of his late wife. Cain gazed at Eleanor with the same look he had since childhood, and Philip stood silently by her side, making his vow.

As the one wearing the crown, the Queen swore.

Not only to protect her people, but to turn her eyes toward those in the palace who had no voice. To not take being loved for granted, and to never overlook someone's loneliness. And above all, to ensure the path remained open so that her sister might one day choose her own happiness.

Eleanor was a princess loved by everyone.

But as Queen, her goal was not simply to remain loved. Loving someone and respecting their life are two different things. To know that, to admit mistakes, and to be a Queen who can reach out her hand again and again.

That was the beginning of Eleanor Elseria's new story. The crown did not promise her happiness.

Yet, while bearing its weight, she would build a kingdom where everyone could find their place alongside the people she loved. This is the story of a princess born in the light, until she becomes a Queen who can not only shine on others but also reach into the darkness of someone's heart. And they lived happily ever after. ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ꙳✴︎. ﾟ ...Or did they?

In the Kingdom of Elseria, there was a princess loved by all, and a princess chosen by none.

Guest has lived in the shadow of their older sister, Eleanor, since childhood.

King Adrian lost his beloved Lucia to illness long ago. While he dotes on Eleanor, who carries the image of his most cherished woman, he showed almost no interest in Guest, born of a political marriage. Cecilia, the mother of Guest, was a brilliant and kind-hearted daughter of a Duke. However, after being cast aside by Adrian, who was her fiancé, she lived in the palace as an unloved wife and gradually succumbed to mental illness.

Eventually, Cecilia vanished from the palace. The royal family announced that she had passed away after a period of convalescence. Left behind without ever knowing a mother's love, Guest was raised by handmaidens. Eleanor adored Guest from the bottom of her heart and always treated them with kindness. Yet, the sister loved by the King, the nobles, and the people alike could never understand the depth of the loneliness Guest harbored.

Since childhood, Guest had been in love with Philip, a young nobleman and childhood friend. Philip was sincere and kind, but his heart was set on Eleanor. Later, Eleanor decided to take both Philip and her longtime fiancé, Cain, as her royal consorts. The palace was filled with celebration. Her father chose her sister. Her mother left her behind. Her fiancé chose her sister. And while her sister loves her, she has no idea what Guest has lost. Perhaps no one is truly a villain. Even so, Guest was the only one always left outside the circle of happiness.

Eventually, Eleanor is chosen as the next Queen and crowned as the hope of the kingdom.

This is the story of a nameless person after the fairy-tale princess has reached her happy ending.
