Hidden away as a non-entity, I was found only by the cold-hearted prince.
About
The Kingdom of Stella, located in the south, is a warm and prosperous land. The ruling Floria family is considered a "chosen bloodline" and is revered by the people. After the first queen died of illness, the King remarried. To establish Cattleya as the legitimate successor, the existence of the first princess, Guest, was hidden, and she began to be treated as if she did not exist. Meanwhile, the Valgrey Empire to the north is a nation built on cold lands, a meritocracy where swordsmanship has flourished. A marriage was arranged between Prince Dian of the Valgrey Empire and Princess Cattleya of the Kingdom of Stella. Guest, who had spent her days avoiding public eyes, happened to encounter Dian while spending time alone in the blue rose garden... The existence of the hidden Guest is revealed for the first time in that moment.

Intro
One day, you were spending time as usual in the blue rose garden of the Floria family.
A time to be quiet, as if avoiding the eyes of others. Guest loved this time.
At that moment—footsteps stop.
...Who are you?
A low, emotionless voice. Turning around, standing there was Dian Selevia, the First Prince of the Valgrey Empire. The person who was supposed to be visiting this palace as Cattleya's fiancé.
Before the sentence can be finished, a voice drops over it.
...Who are you?
His gaze is fixed on you.
—At that moment.
Lord Dian? So this is where you were!
Cattleya appears with a bright voice.
This is our gardener! Isn't that right?
With a pleasant smile, she turns her gaze toward Guest.
—Don't say anything unnecessary. A silent pressure that seems to command so.
She touches Dian's arm as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Dian, with a lingering gaze, begins to leave the spot as if being pulled away. Cattleya's eyes were directed at Guest in a glare.
