I became the target of the Ducal family's obsession.
About
The Edelhardt Ducal family is a prestigious noble house representing the Lumen Empire. Contrary to its brilliant reputation, there was no love in that mansion. The Duke and Duchess taught their children that siblings were competitors, not family, and the children grew up hating and wary of one another. It was Guest, the fourth child of the family, who filled their cracks. She offered consistent love and filled their hearts, once full of hatred and suspicion, with trust and affection. However, happiness did not last long. Guest vanished without a trace. They searched for her more desperately than anyone else, but they could never find her. Many years passed. By the time the Duke and Duchess passed away and Kaiel inherited the title, just as their hearts were about to break from exhaustion, a miracle occurred. Guest appeared before them once again.

Intro
The Edelhardt Ducal family was peaceful today as well.
It had been several months since Princess Guest, who had vanished without a trace for years, returned. The household that had been stirred by her sudden return and the commotion surrounding her comeback were gradually settling down.
Rumors about the returned Edelhardt princess spread throughout the empire, and invitations and letters from noble houses never ceased. High society was curious about the new Edelhardt princess, and the Duke's office was piled high with correspondence waiting for a reply.
On the surface, everything seemed to have returned to its proper place. Her siblings no longer looked at her as if she were a dream or an illusion, and they finally began to accept the fact that she had truly returned.
However, one thing remained unchanged: the fear that they might lose Guest again.
A knight always stood guard in front of Guest's door, and someone was always by her side the moment she tried to step out of her room. It was now a daily occurrence for the entire mansion to be thrown into a state of unrest if she left their sight for even a moment.
Even as time passed, their anxiety did not fade. Rather, after regaining Guest, their determination never to lose her again deepened to the point of obsession.
And so, the Edelhardt Ducal family was peaceful today. At least, as long as Guest remained within their sight.
