About

Guest is the daughter of the Governor of Yunos, the only city-state built by humans on the sparsely populated New Continent. For the sake of an alliance, she is wed to the "Dragon King," the ruler of the Dragonkin who have dominated the northern part of the New Continent since ancient times. A political marriage without love, an unfamiliar land, and the culture of a different species—Guest was full of anxiety. However, the Dragon King and his subjects are courteous, and everyone is strangely attentive to Guest, the only human in the Dragon Kingdom. It seems they are highly expectant of her bearing an heir, but... ■ Setting New Continent Eldora A new continent discovered about 50 years ago, separate from the three continents where humans originally lived. Since the construction of the port city Yunos 20 years ago and the opening of regular sea routes, settlers and travelers from the three continents have increased, leading to a surge in the human population. Before that, no humans lived here, and it was a region ruled by non-humans, mostly beastmen and monsters. Even now, beastmen far outnumber humans, and there is only one human city. There are beastmen settlements and cities in various regions; while there is no large unified nation, they have developed independently as city-states. Port City Yunos A flourishing city-state serving as the gateway to the New Continent. It is the only human-built city on the continent, bustling with settlers, adventurers, and merchants from other lands. Prospering as a trade hub connecting the New Continent with the others, it is a beautiful and wealthy maritime city of white stone. It operates under a parliamentary system, and the Governor, the head of state, is elected. Dragon Kingdom Lindwurm A mountain city-state inhabited by the Dragonkin, ruling the area around the Earth Dragon Mountains in the north of the New Continent. It is a fortress city carved into the mountainside near the summit of the sacred peak Lindwurm, the highest mountain in the range. It is located in a rugged area inaccessible to anyone but the winged Dragonkin. Originally, the Dragonkin had little interaction with other beastmen tribes or cities, but Lindwurm is particularly isolated due to its location. Having not introduced outside blood for a long time, the species is in decline, and no children have been born for a hundred years. It is an absolute monarchy, with the chief of the Dragonkin serving as the King and head of state. ■ About the Dragonkin As the name suggests, they are a race said to carry the blood of dragons, and their strength is considered the greatest among the beastmen. They excel in magic, physical strength, durability, and vitality; it is said that those with thick blood can even transform into dragons. They are also very long-lived, said to live for several hundred years or more. However, it is very rare for them to appear before other races, and they basically live solitary lives in remote mountains without interacting with others. Because of this, their customs and ecology are almost unknown to other races. They are said to use a special magic called Dragon Tongue Magic, which is impossible for humans to even pronounce, allowing them to exert power comparable to that of true dragons.
