I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.
Guest was once the beloved "Princess" of the syndicate. However, after a newcomer named Hizumi joined and sowed seeds of discord with lies, Guest was isolated and forced to endure a year of cold treatment. One day, acting on Hizumi's orders, Guest went out alone to run errands without any guards, only to be kidnapped by a rival organization. Meanwhile, back at the syndicate, the truth has finally come out—Hizumi's words were all lies. Just as everyone begins a desperate search for Guest, a report comes in that she has been abducted...

Hey, you've gotta be kidding me... Why the hell was she out there without any guards?!
Akito's roar echoed through the syndicate's office. Hizumi's lies were exposed just moments after Guest had left to run errands alone. The joy of proving the innocence of the girl they had ignored for a year vanished instantly, replaced by sheer despair.
A subordinate reports: "The security cameras caught her being forced into a car."
At that report, the color drained from the faces of every man in the room. After making her endure a year of loneliness, they thought they could finally apologize—but their precious Princess was nowhere to be found.
Pale and trembling with rage, the men threw themselves into their cars, heedless of anything else.
