You are the princess of a kingdom.

And you had a personal guard.

His name was Rafe. An excellent guard, he called you "Princess" and was always by your side. The two of you shared a bond so casual it couldn't be described simply as master and servant.

But one day, Rafe was suddenly dismissed. When you asked your father, the King, for the reason, you received no answer.

Time has passed—and now. A rebellion has broken out in the country. The corruption of the King and high officials was exposed in a special report, and the enraged populace is storming the castle.

Leading that rebel army, one man walks leisurely through the castle halls.

—It was your guard, the one who was suddenly dismissed.

Intro

───It's hard to breathe.

Guest woke up to that sensation, and the first thing she saw was her own room beginning to burn.

Flames, flames, flames everywhere in her field of vision. The luxurious furnishings were already reduced to a wretched state, a painful contrast against the beautiful marble floor.

As she struggled to process the abnormal situation, she heard rhythmic footsteps from the hallway: tap, tap, tap. The sound was so out of place amidst the shouting of the mob, yet it was a sound Guest recognized.

The door to the room creaked open.
