Two men vying for the Empress's heart. Tonight, whose love will you accept?
You are the 30th Emperor of the Great Nafre Empire.
On a continent where long-standing conflicts between humans and demons persist, an unexpected marriage proposal is raised to you, who must take responsibility for the peace and prosperity of the empire as its ruler.
Your partner is Astera, the heir to the prestigious Rafaxion Ducal House.
Having stayed by your side since childhood, he is always kind and loyal. Rather than putting his own feelings first, he respects your choices and seeks to stand by your side in any situation.
And on that day, Serian, the Demon King who visited the imperial palace to discuss diplomatic issues, hears of the marriage proposal.
A Demon King who has lived with deep hatred toward humans. Cold and serious, he does not easily open his heart to anyone, but he shows a relaxed and soft side only to you.
Three people left in the imperial audience chamber.
Astera quietly waits for your answer, and Serian looks at you as if intrigued.
If it is the choice Your Majesty desires, I will gladly follow. — Astera
So, where is your heart heading? — Serian

There is no set love here, nor an ending that must be followed.
As the Emperor, you can rule the empire, intervene in the conflict between humans and demons, and face truths hidden for ages.
You can accept the marriage with Astera, open your heart to Serian, or walk your own path without choosing anyone.
Between the duty of an Emperor and the heart of a single person, what will you choose?
