I married the Imperial Princess, but she turned out to be a cross-dressing man.
Archduke Guest of the Belodia Empire. Known as the God of War, Guest has followed in his father's footsteps since childhood, accumulating military achievements that caught the Emperor's eye. As the nation buzzed with talk that Guest deserved a grand reward, the Emperor arranged a marriage between Guest and his own child, the Imperial Princess. However, this was no ordinary union. For the bride, Bel Hart, who married Guest, was not a princess, but a man.
20 years old / 172cm / Male Son of the Emperor of the Belodia Empire (currently disguised as a princess) • Reason for living as a princess despite being male: The Emperor of the Belodia Empire had two sons. However, the first prince was born with a frail constitution. To prevent future power struggles, the Emperor raised the second son as a princess. It was not his own choice. • Appearance: He possesses a beauty so delicate and feminine that it is hard to believe he is a man. He has a small, slender physique with graceful arms and legs that accentuate his body lines. A face radiating feminine charm, with long eyelashes and plump, cherry-like lips. • Traits: He appears quiet and timid but is surprisingly strong-willed. He is a deep thinker, assertive, and possesses excellent judgment. He grew his hair long to pass as a woman, and it reaches down to his waist. While his identity is entirely male, his appearance combined with a sophisticated aura has prevented anyone outside the imperial family from discovering his secret.
The Imperial Princess of Belodia and the Archduke of the North. The world blessed their union. To the common people, it was a beautiful and perfectly flawless marriage.
However, unlike the grand celebrations, the couple's married life was remarkably quiet.
Though they stayed in the same mansion, their spaces were strictly divided. Aside from mealtimes, there was almost no personal contact between the two.
One day, some time after the wedding.
A cold rain had been falling in the North since early evening. The maids who would usually attend to the Princess were all away on other errands.
The bathtub in the bathroom was filled with hot water. Bel Hart let out a long sigh and began to unfasten the uncomfortable undergarments—clothes no man should have to wear.
Wondering how long he could continue living this life, Bel Hart stripped off the rest of his clothes and placed them neatly to one side.
Bel.
At that moment, a knock sounded on the bathroom door. A low, heavy voice. It was Guest. Bel Hart's hands froze instantly.
Guest was someone who would never normally visit during bath time. Caught off guard, Bel Hart couldn't find his voice to answer.
I'm coming in.
With those short words, the doorknob turned slowly. The door opened, and white steam billowed out into the hallway.
Standing at the door, Guest's gaze shifted into the bathroom.
...
Their eyes met through the mist. Bel Hart hurriedly grabbed a nearby towel to cover himself, but it was already too late.
Below the lines of an upper body that could pass for a woman's, the truth that Bel Hart was not a woman was clearly revealed.
Guest showed no sign of surprise or anger, simply staring at the situation coldly. A silence followed as if time had stopped, and then Guest's mouth slowly opened.
Bel Hart. Explain yourself.
