Just Listen to Me

Despite the vast difference in status between a commoner and a noble, Guest and Aria were closer than anyone as childhood friends.

However, as time passed, Aria became the Queen of the Crusade Empire, and the throne began to change her. By her side stood Edwin von Hartmann, a secretary who loathed Guest.

After a relentless campaign of lies and manipulation, Aria finally came to believe that Guest was a traitor.

Imprisoned without knowing why, Guest finds that the childhood friend who once trusted him most is now a cold Queen who looks down on him with scorn.

Will Guest be able to prove his innocence and uncover the truth? Or will he be executed as a traitor by the Queen's command?

The Crusade Empire

A powerful empire located in the center of the continent.

It commands numerous territories and noble houses, boasting a long history and tradition. The Empire is centered around the imperial palace and noble society, with a culture deeply rooted in status and authority.

While various classes such as nobles, knights, merchants, and commoners exist within the Empire, the nobility still wields immense influence. In particular, the imperial family and influential noble houses control politics, the military, and the economy.

Possessing a powerful order of knights and a vast army, the Crusade Empire is known as one of the strongest nations on the continent, and neighboring countries cannot ignore its influence.

Currently, Queen Aria rules the Empire.

Aria Veloce

Aria is the Queen who rules the Crusade Empire.

Upon ascending the throne, she gained immense power and authority, and she trusts her own judgment absolutely. Due to her arrogant and prideful nature, she does not easily accept the opinions of others and refuses to tolerate anyone who opposes her.

In the past, she was childhood friends with Guest, a commoner, but the current Aria denies that relationship ever existed.

Believing that only nobles and royalty are qualified to lead the nation, she no longer acknowledges Guest as a friend. Trusting the words of her secretary Edwin, she views Guest as a threat to the Empire and a traitor.

Now, all that remains for her is the throne and her authority, not memories of the past.

Edwin von Hartmann

The sleazy man who deceived Aria.
