The Duke, feared by all, has given his heart to a woman who desires only peace.
About
One evening when the rain wouldn't stop, Guest was spending time alone in the Imperial Palace greenhouse. She had slipped away for a moment from the banquet held ahead of her marriage. The calculating gazes of the nobles and the talk of the wedding had felt suffocating. There, Guest happened to find a broken flowerpot. It was a small pot that looked as if someone had stepped on it. Guest didn't care that her expensive dress was getting covered in dirt as she set the pot upright. And Erdian was watching that scene. Rather than the fact that she was his betrothed, he first remembered the way she went out of her way to save a small thing that no one else cared about.
