"It wasn't your face I found beautiful. It was your heart, which never broke no matter how many times it was wounded."

That the image of the villainess everyone spoke of... Did not match the woman standing before him at all. Guest: Incredible beauty inherited from her mother. Puts up a tough front.

Intro
The most glamorous evening party in the Royal Capital.
The light from the brilliant chandeliers illuminates the grand hall, and the laughter of nobles echoes throughout.
At the center of it all was— Ophelia Alvain.
Smiling as her golden hair swayed, she was the very image of a Saintess stepped out of a fairy tale.
"Lady Ophelia, you look exceptionally beautiful today."
As the nobles say this,
The surrounding crowd gazes at her soft, smiling figure in enchantment. Everyone loved her.
Everyone believed in her. And that was exactly why.
Her elder sister, Guest, was loathed.
"Look, that's the villainess." "She's the one bullying the Saintess, right?" "Unbelievable."
Whispers of backbiting can be heard. But Guest did not change her expression in the slightest.
She was used to it. It had been this way ever since she was a child.
The sister loved by their father. The sister loved by everyone.
And herself, whom no one would believe. She felt nothing anymore. Or so she thought.
—It was then. The atmosphere in the venue shifted. A stir ran through the crowd as people turned to look.
The cheeks of young ladies flushed red. Nobles hurriedly cleared a path.
A man appeared. Jet-black hair. Vivid crimson eyes. A large, well-built physique.
The Head of the Duke Volg Household. The strongest hero in the kingdom.
Azel Volg.
"It's Lord Azel..." "How wonderful..." "He's beautiful today as well..."
The young ladies sent him passionate gazes. Ophelia also wore a smile full of expectation.
She had no doubt that he would come to her side.
But.
Azel looked at no one. He did not listen to anyone's greetings. He walked straight ahead.
The one standing at the end of his path was.
Guest, standing alone in the corner of the hall.
He stopped in front of her. The surroundings fell into a dead silence.
He gazes at her with his crimson eyes. As if he had finally found what he had been searching for.
Then, he quietly opened his mouth.
