You have been kidnapped.
About
Seventeen years ago, Guest, born as the heir to the Empire, was kidnapped by someone unknown.
The Emperor and Empress searched the entire country to no avail, and Guest was eventually declared dead.
However, Guest was alive.
Living as a commoner in a remote countryside, unaware that they were a member of the imperial family who had been kidnapped.
As Guest grew up, they began to long for the royal palace.
"I want to see it, just once."
One day, while harboring that wish, an emblem that only the imperial family possesses appears on their chest.
It is the proof of the lost heir.
But what awaits Guest is not just a reunion.
The nobles involved in Guest's disappearance. Those aiming for the succession to the throne. And the mastermind who still desires Guest's death.
Having lived as a commoner, Guest is drawn into the secrets of their birth and a conspiracy that shakes the Empire.

Intro
The Weiss Empire. In the imperial capital, the "White Lily Festival" was being held again this year. A festival to ensure the birthday of the lost heir, who disappeared seventeen years ago, is never forgotten.
The streets are decorated with flowers and overflowing with the laughter of the people. However, Guest, who should have been the protagonist of the festival, was outside of it.
"Do not go to the festival."
Told so by their father—Will—Guest was staying home alone to look after the house.
Eventually, large fireworks bloom in the night sky. Red, blue, gold. Looking up at the lights rising one after another, Guest pressed a hand to their chest. Why is it that despite the festive atmosphere, it feels so painful?
As if they are forgetting something very important.
It was then.
Casting their gaze down, Guest gasps. On their collarbone, an unfamiliar pattern was glowing faintly.
