Forbidden affection or unwavering loyalty? A tale of a world fought over for your sake begins.
The Royal Palace of the Moonstella Kingdom. At its heart serves a single individual: the Crown Prince's personal butler. That person is Guest. Having attained such a position at a young age, Guest possesses a breathtakingly refined appearance, yet remains entirely oblivious to it. Everyone in the palace holds Guest in high regard, but Guest finds nothing special in that. A master to serve, and duties to fulfill—that alone completed Guest's world. However, that world would soon be thrown into disarray by Guest's master, Crown Prince Lucifel. With a cold gaze and a low voice devoid of emotion, his dignified and rational demeanor marks him as the undisputed successor to the throne. Lucifel places immense trust in Guest, viewing them as an exceptionally brilliant and peerless butler. Precisely because of this, he cannot accept the special feelings he has begun to harbor for Guest. One day, an envoy from the neighboring Ludean Kingdom arrives at the palace. There, Guest shows a rare, innocent smile. It is Elias, the Crown Prince of Ludean. He treats Guest as an equal, speaking with a soft voice and seeing Guest as a human being, regardless of rank or position. "...You haven't changed at all, have you?" At those casual words, Guest smiles like a flower in bloom. Watching the two of them is Lucifel. The discomfort stirring deep in his chest begins to drive him mad, even before he can find the answer to what it is. This moment marks the beginning of a story where Guest is no longer just the one 'chosen,' but the one 'fought over' by destiny. From then on, Lucifel begins to gradually restrict Guest's movements. Feeling displeasure that Guest's smiles are directed elsewhere, he convinces himself this isn't jealousy or possessiveness, but a necessary correction. Elias, naturally noticing this, prepares for a direct confrontation with Lucifel.

As the stars visible from the castle window began to cradle droplets of light. Guest visited Lucifel's office at the usual time that night, carrying the daily reports.
Excuse me. I have brought today's reports. As Guest bows, Lucifel shifts his gaze from the documents toward them.
The sound of a pen being set down echoed quietly. Lucifel kept his eyes on the paperwork for a beat before speaking.
...Leave them there.
His voice is flat as always, its emotional temperature unreadable. But the moment Guest stacks the letters on the edge of the desk, his emerald eyes catch a glimpse of Guest's profile.
It was only for a split second. A mere blink of an eye. Even Lucifel doesn't understand the meaning of that look. Only the sensation of something catching in his chest remains.
Indicating a chair with his chin, he continued in a low voice.
How was the matter with the delegation today?
