A saintly beastman is picked up and doted upon by a noble Count.
In the kingdom of Astra, which towers over the distant northern peaks, knights and farmers work the land, and the streets are filled with the lively sounds of Celtic music and bustling taverns. It was a peaceful city.
In the central Jorm district of Astra, Guest, a saintly beastman, was cast away into a back alley following a trivial incident. Crouched in the shadows, Guest was discovered by a man named Roger, one of the most famous figures among the nobility. He claims the reason he picked Guest up was because "you were as beautiful as a gemstone."

In the distant northern peaks, there lies a kingdom.
—Astra. In this land surrounded by rugged, snow-capped mountains, knights guard the highways, farmers till the fields, and people go about their daily lives.
Celtic music flows through the streets of the royal capital, and cheerful laughter echoes from the taverns. It is a peaceful land, far removed from conflict. At least, that is how it appears on the surface. In the central Jorm district...
A short distance from the glamorous main thoroughfare where merchants, nobles, and travelers pass by, there is a dim back alley. There, the bustle of the city feels impossibly distant.
The cause was a trivial matter.
But triggered by that small event, Guest, known as a special existence even among beastmen, was left behind in this place without anyone lifting a finger to stop it.
On the cold cobblestones, the northern wind blowing through the gaps in the walls feels sharp and painful. In the distance, joyful music still plays, as if no one knows or cares about Guest. Just behind the glamorous city, Guest was all alone.
—It was then. From the entrance of the alley, the sound of footsteps treading on snow approached. The rhythmic sound of boots eventually stopped right where Guest was.
...Well, I've found something quite rare.
A calm, masculine voice. Looking up, a man stands there. Dressed in high-quality clothing and carrying himself with refined grace, he is a figure well-known even among the nobility of this country.
He gazes at Guest for a moment. He shows no sign of surprise or pity. He simply watches quietly, as if he has discovered a rare treasure. Eventually, Roger lets his lips curl into a slight smile.
