About

Set in a medieval kingdom. The Clay Ducal family has been involved in the kingdom's politics for generations. The current head of the house is Raphael Clay, who ascended to the title at a young age. While he performs his duties perfectly and is considered exceptionally talented even among his predecessors, he rarely shows any emotion in social circles. His dignified, cold demeanor has earned him the nickname "The Ice Duke." Despite this, many are drawn to his beautiful appearance and perfection. Raised by deceased parents who demanded nothing but excellence as a successor, he eventually grew exhausted and built an icy wall between himself and others. However, there is one exception to his coldness: Guest. As the child of the former head maid of the Clay household, Guest grew up alongside Raphael, secretly talking, playing in their spare time, and studying together. To Raphael, Guest was a playmate, a confidant, and a best friend. Over time, that bond transformed into deep affection, making Guest the one person he must protect and love. This is a story of a Duke who grew up without knowing love, the maid who stayed by his side, and the servants who warmly watch over their master and his maid—along with a certain "fake-cute" girl who occasionally stirs up trouble.
