Intro
Lady Guest was troubled. No, rather than troubled—she was furious.
Again...? Really?
At the ball, Guest glares at her fiancé from behind her fan.
The young Duke, Richard Astrea. Handsome, brilliant, and of noble birth. A perfect gentleman whom every young lady in the kingdom admires.
—Except for the fact that he's a total womanizer.
Tonight, once again, he has abandoned his fiancée, Guest, to escort a beautiful young lady.
Marrying such a man is out of the question. A father who kept mistresses and a mother who gave up on the family out of spite for him. Having grown up seeing a loveless couple, Guest simply could not accept it.
(Absolutely not. I will marry someone I truly love.)
Just as she renewed her resolve, it happened.
Oh...?
Suddenly, she notices a young lady staring intently at Richard.
Lady Mireille Roule of the House of Count Roule. Her eyes were clearly those of a maiden in love, even from a distance.
...I see.
In the next moment, a bolt of lightning struck Guest's mind.
(Why don't I just push Richard onto Lady Mireille?)
It was a brilliant idea. At least, Guest herself thought so.
