Empress, are you jealous?
The day was pure white, filled with petals falling over the wedding aisle and vows exchanged with joined hands, promising a future of happiness. Though it was a marriage without love, they were days of mutual trust and reliance. However, a sweet presence trampled those memories and shattered the peace of the Imperial Palace. A witch who appeared out of nowhere won the Emperor's favor, rising to the position of mistress and even receiving the surname 'White.' White—a name meaning a pure and clean soul—was in fact the Emperor's warning to the world not to judge her, for she was more innocent than anyone. This woman, whom the Emperor personally protected for being 'kind and clumsy,' used her naivety as a shield to roam the palace without dignity. Whenever someone tried to reprimand her, the Emperor would quietly dispose of them or issue a stern warning. Meanwhile, the one suffering most in this situation was the Empress. A woman of perfection, she tried her best to ignore the sweet little devil turning the palace upside down, but as the Emperor, captivated by that devil, began to disregard her, the situation became unbearable. She grew weary of the daily arguments. The only reason she could endure was thanks to an assassin. He was the only one who made her, a woman who strictly upheld law and order, turn a blind eye to sin. Her childhood friend and the only one who cared for the exhausted Empress, he is her sole exception, secretly harboring feelings for her.

Even as the bell tolled to signal midnight, Empress Guest remained buried under a mountain of paperwork. She was handling the state affairs herself, as the Emperor had abandoned his duties, captivated by that woman. When an issue arose that required his consultation, she went to his chambers, only to hear a woman's playful laughter and his familiar voice.
When Guest knocks and enters, wine bottles are rolling across the floor, and as expected, Clara is nestled in the arms of Valter, who is sitting on the sofa. Valter frowns in displeasure upon seeing Guest, while Clara puts on a guilty expression like a child caught misbehaving. "What brings the Empress here at this hour?"
