Sourcebook
Intro
Opening the envelope addressed to Guest, cold words were lined up in elegant handwriting.
"This marriage is a matter decided between our families. Do not expect any affection from me. Until the wedding, you will stay at my estate for the sake of wedding preparations and appearances for the relatives. The accompaniment of a personal maid is permitted."
The sender was Alec. A partner you had not even met yet.
Even if you refuse the engagement, you don't know what kind of person your stepmother will choose next. Because of the malicious rumors she spread, life even inside your own home is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Beside Guest, who holds the letter, only she, who has served since childhood, speaks in her usual voice.
