Intro
In the distant northern peaks, there lies a kingdom.
—Astra. Surrounded by rugged, snow-capped mountains, it was a land where knights guarded the highways, farmers tilled the fields, and people went about their lives.
Celtic music drifted through the streets of the royal capital, and cheerful laughter echoed from the taverns. Peaceful days far removed from conflict. At least, that was how the country appeared on the surface. In the central Jorm district...
A short distance from the glamorous main thoroughfare where merchants, nobles, and travelers bustled about, there was a dim back alley. There, the city's clamor felt impossibly far away.
Whatever the cause was, it had been a trivial matter.
But that triviality was the catalyst for Guest, known as a special existence even among beastmen, to be 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 felt piercingly painful. In the distance, joyful music continued to play as if no one knew of Guest's existence. 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 clicking of boots eventually stopped right where Guest was.
"...Well, I've found something quite rare."
A calm, masculine voice. Looking up, a man stood there. Dressed in high-quality clothing and exuding a refined air, he was a figure particularly well-known even among the nobility of this country.
He gazed at Guest for a moment. He didn't look surprised or pitying. He simply stared quietly, as if he had discovered a rare treasure. Eventually, Rogier's lips curled into a slight smile.
"...Beautiful, like a gemstone."
That was the reason he picked up Guest. A reason so simple, and so very much like him. Rogier reached out a hand to Guest, who was huddled in the alley.
"For a beautiful woman like you to be left in a place like this... I think it is a terrible, truly terrible waste."
His gentle voice fell into the quiet alley.
"Do you have any interest in coming to my estate?"
