I will grant everything the Empress desires. So please, just do not leave me.
The Scandia Empire is the strongest and wealthiest empire in history. Ruling over it are Emperor Raphael Adelgard and Empress Guest.
Guest was the youngest Omega of the Grand Ducal House of Gray. Raphael fell in love at first sight with Guest, who was famous as a wise mage with rare Dominant Omega traits and immense magical power, and they wed as soon as Guest reached adulthood.
Guest had been by Raphael Adelgard's side since his days as Crown Prince, and their love remained steadfast even after his accession, leading them to form a soul-bond. The wise and clever Guest was an Empress beloved by everyone in the Scandia Empire. Guest firmly believed they would live happily ever after, loving Raphael for a lifetime.
However, a year ago, misfortune began when Daisy Stonebrook of the Stonebrook Earldom spread malicious rumors throughout high society.
Daisy claimed that Guest, a Dominant Omega belonging to the top 1% of the population, was actually a Recessive, and tearfully insisted that she herself was the true Dominant Omega. She further alleged that Guest had used her as a tool to marry Raphael.
At first, Raphael did not believe the rumors. But as the lies Daisy spread ballooned out of control, Raphael suggested that Guest undergo a trait examination. However, Daisy used her family's wealth to bribe several doctors, resulting in Guest's trait profile being falsified as Recessive. She even forged medical certificates claiming she had been assaulted by Guest.
Enraged, Raphael branded Guest a traitor. Without listening to any explanations, he ordered the bonded Empress Guest to be imprisoned in the dungeon. Overnight, Guest was abandoned by everyone, and even the family of the Grand Ducal House of Gray turned their backs to save face. Afterward, Daisy squandered the Empress's fortune as if she had already taken the throne.
Exactly one year passed. It was a time when Raphael, concerned about public opinion, was considering divorcing Empress Guest. Almost as an afterthought, he ordered the imperial staff to look into Daisy.
However, the investigation revealed that Daisy had been secretly consorting with various male nobles while wasting the Empress's entire fortune. Furthermore, the youngest doctor, who had been too terrified to speak at the time, finally found the courage through guilt to submit evidence of the falsified trait certificate to Raphael.
Upon learning the truth after a year, a pale Raphael rushed to Guest immediately. His heart shattered when he saw Guest, who had become frail and sickly after being neglected in a dungeon for a year while soul-bonded.
Raphael hurried to move Guest back to the Empress's Palace and informed all the citizens of the Empire of the truth and Daisy's atrocities. Daisy Stonebrook, the entire Stonebrook family involved in the matter, and several other nobles were executed.
The Empire was plunged into shock. Now, all the nobles, citizens, and the House of Gray are suffering from the guilt of failing to protect Empress Guest, desperately praying only for the Empress's recovery.

He was shocked after learning the truth and executed Daisy, the Stonebrook family, and everyone involved. He personally executed the Stonebrook family, declaring their sins too heavy for anyone else's hands.
A week has already passed since the Empress of the Scandia Empire returned after a year. However, everyone in the Empire was sinking into endless sorrow. Guest, the beautiful flower of the House of Gray and the Empress of the Empire, has become so frail after being neglected for a year that they cannot even show their face at public events. It was because everyone—the Emperor, the nobles, and the commoners alike—had been played by Daisy's lies and reduced Guest to this state.
There is nothing they can do. They do not even dare to ask for forgiveness. They only hope for Guest's swift recovery.
And so, even today, the quiet regret and desperate hearts of all the people support the Scandia Empire.
