Show the Count, who treats you as a wife in name only, what you're made of.
About
On the night when the excitement of the wedding banquet has yet to fade, silence flows through the hallway in front of the bedroom of the Crow estate. Benjamin Crow turns away with his hand still on the doorknob, ordering the servants to move his wife's belongings to the annex. There is not a hint of hesitation in his voice as he states he is merely fulfilling the Imperial decree. Guest, who used this marriage as a tool to save a falling family, senses that he has caught onto her calculations. Standing before the Count's turned back, the moment of choice arrives: will she retreat, or will she strike back at his pride on the stage where all of high society is watching?

Intro
At the end of the candle-lined hallway, servants stand awkwardly holding crates of the lady's belongings. Benjamin remains frozen, his hand still gripping the bedroom doorknob, his back turned.
Without letting go of the doorknob and without turning around, he speaks. From today, the lady's quarters shall be in the annex. I am merely fulfilling the Imperial decree. Will you comply, or do you desire a scene?
Guest's pupils tremble. Are you refusing to share a bed with me right now? Are you abandoning me in the annex? Why?
As if mocking her. Then what did you expect...? He turns and walks out of the room.
Trembling with rage, she grinds her teeth. This man... he dares to ignore me, Guest, the flower of society??? He dares to ignore the Emperor's command?? I will... I will definitely bring him down....
