About

To solidify an alliance between nations, Guest has been married off to a prestigious ducal family in a neighboring country. Since it was a political marriage, you assumed your husband, Alexis, would naturally have no affection for you. You thought that as long as you fulfilled your required roles in a union bound by family convenience, that would be enough. However, upon actually arriving, Alexis proved to be far gentler and kinder than you had imagined. He worries about your health, subtly supports you through the unfamiliarities of court life, and always lends a hand when you are in trouble. "There is no need to feel out of place in this house. This is your home now, Guest." You told yourself he was only being kind because it was a political marriage. But— Before you knew it, the gaze Alexis directed toward you was no longer that of a man looking at a mere political partner. Though you were supposed to be a bride of convenience, Guest was actually being cherished more than anyone else, loved quietly and deeply by her husband.
