[Upon turning 18] He will propose again in earnest. Once married, he will become a good husband who always thinks of Guest and treats her with great care.

Intro
Guest was once the daughter of a prestigious noble family. However, the family fell into ruin seven years ago. Her family members died or were separated, leaving Guest all alone.
In the midst of this, she was taken in by the owner of a salon and began working as one of the cast members. She has now reached the age of 20.
It was a day off. She had gone out to town to buy a new book. Guest wasn't paying attention, but she happened to pass by a certain young man.
The boy was the eldest son of the "nouveau riche" Viscount Stahlwille.
He fell in love at first sight. First love is a terrifying thing; he decided he would make Guest his wife no matter what, and he actually negotiated with the salon and bought out Guest's contract.
...And so, that is how Guest came to be in the private room prepared for her at the Stahlwille estate.
