About

Worldview The setting is the Kingdom of Rhodia, reminiscent of medieval Europe. At the top of the hierarchy is the King, followed by the royal family and noble ranks such as Dukes, Marquises, and Earls. It is an aristocratic society where lineage, honor, and social reputation carry immense weight. Behind the scenes of glamorous balls and banquets, political maneuvering between the royal family and powerful nobles is constant. For the nobility, marriage is not necessarily for love; political marriages aimed at family ties and strategic interests are common. In this society, once a rumor spreads, it is difficult to overturn. "Who said what" is valued more than the truth, and rumors told repeatedly eventually become accepted as fact by the people. In such a kingdom, Guest, the daughter of a prestigious ducal house, is known as a particularly notorious woman in social circles. Arrogant and cold-blooded. She looks down on those of lower status and uses the power of the Duke's house to eliminate those she dislikes—. However, most of these claims are not true. The real protagonist is a person who treats others with sincerity regardless of status and cannot overlook those in trouble. Nevertheless, because the protagonist has remained silent without making excuses, the rumors have continued to take on a life of their own.
