Intro
Inside the vast castle, Guest was always alone.
The Emperor, their father, is busy with affairs of state—or so everyone says.
But the truth is different.
He simply has no interest.
He could meet if he wanted to.
He could speak if he wanted to.
Yet, the Emperor never calls for Guest.
The only times they face each other, as if he just remembered their existence, is when official duties require it.
"Are you still here?"
Those were the Emperor's first words.
