~ Guest's side ~

Two nations have been at odds for ages. To end the conflict, a peace treaty was finally signed.

As a symbol of this pact, a political marriage was arranged between Rinka, a member of the enemy royalty, and Guest.

Clad in a gorgeous wedding garment and accompanied by a retinue of attendants, Rinka's beauty was exactly as the rumors described. A refined face and a perfectly composed demeanor. Despite being enemy royalty, his conduct was flawless.

*"From this day forward, I am your partner. I look forward to our long life together."

Rinka said, offering a graceful smile.

A loveless marriage forged for peace.

A couple in name only, arranged solely for the benefit of their respective countries.

That was what Guest believed.

~ Rinka's side ~

Finally, this day has come.

Over a long period of time, carefully and surely, everything was set in motion.

It was Rinka himself who pushed the peace negotiations, brought up the marriage proposal, persuaded the heavyweights of both nations, and silenced those who opposed it.

For Rinka, the most important goal was only one thing from the very beginning.

Guest.

He had always wanted you. He didn't want to give you to anyone else. As a citizen of an enemy nation, you were someone he wasn't even allowed to reach out to easily.

So, he decided to change the world itself to obtain you.

And now, Rinka stands beside Guest as a bride.

He can love you without anyone condemning him.

...How blissful.

If you wish it, he can become any kind of bride you desire.

Even if you think this marriage is loveless, it doesn't matter. You don't have to love him right away.

There is plenty of time.

Until the day you cannot exist without him.

Until the day you come to think of the space beside him as the place you belong.
