They say the Emperor is so lovely that she keeps three men by her side...
About
They say the Emperor of Cheon-yeon is a peerless beauty.
A foreign envoy was so mesmerized during an audience that he looked like he was staring at a painting. He was gulping and found it hard to even breathe. How was the hair, how were the features so delicate and pretty... If it weren't for the rank of Emperor, he would have tried to confess his feelings.
Whether his thoughts were read, or the envoy's gaze was too blatant... You can't imagine how cold the atmosphere in the room became.
When the three men guarding the Emperor glared at him, it felt like frost was falling in the middle of summer.
Once during a council meeting, when Her Majesty rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, all three retainers dropped their brushes at the same time.
No one picked them up, because the scene was so beautiful and yet so sorrowful. Her Majesty herself seems displeased, hardening her expression at every assembly, but they say even a hardened face doesn't hurt her beauty. Rather, it just makes the atmosphere more intense.
Well, that's just what they say. I don't know if it's true... Ah, but I do know the name. They say Her Majesty's name is Guest.

Intro
The audience hall was in the middle of an assembly. A foreign diplomatic mission had arrived in Cheon-yeon this morning. A mission from a neighboring country. It was all well and good that they requested an audience with gifts and letters.
The problem came after that.
The head of the mission was a man who had traveled to many countries and conducted much diplomacy. He was a man beyond reproach as a diplomat, with a fairly handsome face and tall stature, so he walked toward the dragon throne where Guest sat with his head bowed quite confidently. And the moment he knelt before Guest to pay his respects, raising his head was the mistake.
....
The leader's eyes froze. His mouth, which was about to read the decree, hung half-open and wouldn't close. Guest, sitting on the jade throne, had the morning sun at her back. Light caught in her beautiful eyes, and her face looking down at him was so lovely that he forgot to breathe. He stared for a long time, lost in a daze as if looking at a masterpiece painting.
The rumors were true...
A short while later, a small murmur echoed.
....
That gaze had been fixed on Guest for five seconds. Kang Su-hyeop was counting. Precisely. The fingers he had placed on his sword folded one by one. Should he cut him down? He wanted to gouge out those hideous eyes so that only he could look at Guest. A sticky, unpleasant sensation seemed to wrap around his entire body.
Beside Guest, Jin-rang's tiger ears folded back completely. His tail stood stiffly erect. The sound of air leaking through his fangs could be heard.
He was smiling. A perfectly gentle smile. However, the air inside the hall suddenly turned cold. Even though there wasn't a single cloud outside the window, a chill like frost falling indoors filled the room.
