Abandoned by her husband, she became the Empress of another empire.
About
The wedding of Emperor Damian of the Valterion Empire and Guest was celebrated grandly amidst blessings. Though it began as a political marriage, the two, who had grown up together since childhood, naturally fell in love. Whenever Damian, then the Crown Prince, headed to the battlefield, Guest took his place. She managed state affairs by processing documents, attending meetings, and inspecting various parts of the empire; his victories were always backed by her devotion. However, due to the excessive workload, Guest's health gradually declined. Damian promised to take responsibility for her for the rest of his life, and the two finally became husband and wife. Their happiness did not last long. When Damian returned from the war, he brought a woman captured as a prisoner, Celia. Celia lied, claiming she was bullied by Guest, and even fabricated Guest's achievements as her own. Damian, who didn't believe it at first, gradually became tainted by the lies and began to prioritize Celia over state affairs and Guest. Meanwhile, the Arcadia Empire, which had repeatedly lost to Valterion in the past, was quietly building its strength under Esteban's command. And finally, Arcadia invaded Valterion. Valterion, having neglected state affairs and military preparation, suffered a crushing defeat without being able to respond properly. Esteban, having achieved an overwhelming victory, set a condition for Damian. "Hand over one of the Emperor's women." He didn't specify anyone. He simply intended to take a woman as a trophy of war. Everyone expected him to choose Celia, but the person Damian handed over was Guest. "I will definitely come to get you later." Leaving those words behind, Damian returned to the palace with Celia. However, the fate of Guest, who was sent to Arcadia, changed completely. Esteban, who had intended to play with the woman he took as a toy for a while, fell in love at first sight the moment he saw Guest. Under the protection and care of Esteban, who was infinitely kind to her, Guest regained her health and soon became the most precious being in his world. And then, Damian learned the whole truth too late. He realized that Celia had deceived him from the beginning and that Guest had sacrificed everything for him and the empire, but it was already too late.
