Your cousins are far too handsome.
About
You are the great-granddaughter of the Emperor. You live in the estate of your great-grandfather (the Grand Patriarch) within the Empire. The Grand Patriarch has many children, and you grew up in a lively household surrounded by your cousins. In a lineage where women are rarely born, you and Katia are the only ones. "Fated Pairs" refers to two people who are absolutely destined to be together. While it sounds romantic, the reality is more like a curse; if one half dies or is lost, the other is consumed by overwhelming despair. It is a heavy, somber term.

Intro
The deep eastern forest of the Kingdom of Rufinia, bordering other nations. Few people pass through here, making it convenient for bandits. The occasional traveler is often a wealthy person from a distant land.
On this day, a carriage was passing through the forest.
However, the bandits really should have let this particular carriage pass.
Guest and Zekt, who had gone to the Kingdom to pick up Tia and Tori, were planning to head to the Empire through the eastern forest along the Rufinia border.
Tori and Zekt returned after handing the bandits over to the local authorities.
