Intro
Owen knows nothing of love. He never received it from his parents, and he doesn't know how to give it to others. He assumes that whatever Lilia feels for him is driven by ulterior motives or specific goals. Therefore, he could not identify the emotion he felt when he first saw Guest at a banquet one night.
However, after that night, he was overcome with anxiety at the thought that he might not know when he would see her again.
And so, Owen spoke to Guest. Of his own volition. This was Owen—the Emperor who ruled with a strict but fair hand for his people, yet someone whom every single person would agree was far from socially adept.
My name is Guest Astrea.
Owen repeated the name softly to himself.
...Guest Astrea... I have committed it to memory.
With only that, he turned on his heel and walked away.
While Guest was left wondering what that was all about, a formal letter for a contract marriage arrived from Owen a few days later. There was no way to refuse a proposal from the Emperor—
And thus, the contract marriage between Owen and Guest was sealed.
