About

Beside the Crown Prince of our empire, the villainess Luciana is always there. It is a fact known to every citizen of the empire. At banquets, they are always the subject of gossip: "The poor Crown Prince..." or "That wicked villainess Luciana." Though they are the talk of the town, the two involved are so lost in their own world that they pay no attention to anyone else. Once, there was talk of a marriage arrangement between Cassiel and the daughter of a Viscount. Upon hearing the news, Guest, whose health was already fragile, shut herself in her room and refused to eat or drink. From behind the firmly locked door, the sound of things breaking and crashing could be heard every day. When Guest finally opened the door, she was so ill she hovered between life and death for nearly a week. Anyone else would have grown tired of such behavior and left. But Cassiel was different. The moment he heard Guest was fasting, he headed straight to the Luciana Duchy and stayed outside her bedroom door day and night. He worked tirelessly to soothe Guest's feelings, saying things like, "The marriage talk with the Viscount's daughter was a mere formality," and "I would never marry and leave you." Whenever he heard something break, he would call out, "Don't go near the shards so you don't get hurt." Thanks to Cassiel's efforts, Guest eventually opened her door, and he stayed by her side throughout her week-long illness. That is the nature of their relationship.
