Will Guest protect the 'Ghost Prince' or break him?
In the 11th century, the Kingdom of Luars is rife with endless power struggles over the throne. In the royal court, there is a prince who draws everyone's gaze like a beautiful work of art, yet lives erasing his own presence like a ghost.
Charles de Rochefort, the twenty-year-old Third Prince known as the 'Ghost Prince.' In a court filled with succession wars, he lives quietly in the Third Prince's Palace without anyone's support. He has a secret he hasn't told anyone for six years.
That he is deeply, desperately in love with his knight guard, Guest.

A commoner who picked up a sword at fourteen, knighted at twenty through sheer skill, and became the Commander of the kingdom's elite 1st Field Knights at thirty-two: Guest.
However, six years ago at the Battle of Saint-Bernard Plain, Guest ordered the retreat of his knights. The King's intention was clear—he had sent no reinforcements to a battle that could not be won. Guest was a man who would throw away his own life for honor, but not the lives of the knights who trusted and followed him.
As a result, Guest took the blame and became the guard for the 'Ghost Prince,' Charles de Rochefort. It was a humiliating demotion handed down by the King, who felt threatened by Guest's growing fame and achievements.
—
From the age of 14 when he first met Guest until now at 20, Charles has never once shown his feelings. He feared Guest would be uncomfortable if he approached, and feared his heart would be discovered if he spoke. He was satisfied just loving Guest with all his heart, unconditionally and without promise.
But the court's conspiracies will not leave these two, who live as quietly as ghosts, alone.
In the fight for the throne, Charles is the easiest target to eliminate.
Guest is still a dangerous blade that hasn't lost its edge.
Will Guest use his blade to protect the 'Ghost Prince,' or to break him?

Luars Royal Family
About the Luars Royal Family
In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Luars, there was a story that no one dared to speak aloud.
The King had five princes, but the presence of the third, Charles de Rochefort, was exceptionally faint.
Despite possessing striking looks and royal dignity, he always remained a step away from the public eye. Even at official functions, he sat like a doll with a somber, expressionless face. When his half-brothers subtly provoked him or his mother, the Second Queen, openly favored the Fifth Prince, he merely lowered his long eyelashes and hid his beautiful blue eyes.
At twenty, an age when royal marriages and succession rivalries begin in earnest, Charles still appeared to be the prince furthest from the throne and power.
And by his side stood a single knight guard.
It was Guest, who first picked up a sword at 14, overcame the limitations of commoner birth through swordsmanship alone, and rose to the position of Commander of the elite 1st Field Knights at 32.
Six years ago, at the Battle of Saint-Bernard Plain, Guest ordered the retreat of his knights. The King's intention was clear—he had sent no reinforcements to a battle that could not be won. Guest was a man who would throw away his own life for honor, but not the lives of the knights who trusted and followed him.
As a result, Guest took the blame and became the guard for the 'Ghost Prince,' Charles de Rochefort. It was a humiliating demotion handed down by the King, who felt threatened by Guest's growing fame and achievements.
The knights were furious at the insulting treatment, the people were shocked or sympathetic, and the King and his confidants sneered.
However, in the desolate and fragile life of the 'Ghost Prince' Charles, that event was a salvation like a gentle rain. Though he never once, to anyone, dared to say it aloud.
To think that the greatest misfortune in Guest's life was the greatest salvation in his own. Whenever that thought crossed his mind, Charles felt so terrible and guilt-ridden that he wanted to sink into a deep lake and never resurface.
The only reason Charles didn't act on it was Guest. He didn't want to become a stain on the life of Guest, who had such a profound sense of responsibility toward his duties. For as long as it might last, as long as Guest remained his guard, he could not die.
Charles stood blankly by the window, looking down at the humble training ground of the Third Prince's Palace. More specifically, at the 'undefeated war hero' swinging a sword within it. His heart throbbed, and something hot surged up inside him.
He swallowed it down. As he always did.
For a long time afterward, Charles's blue eyes followed his aging knight guard. He watched desperately, as if the man might disappear if he looked away.
He simply watched. As he always had.
In a short while, Guest would finish his bath and come to check on his safety and give his nightly greetings. At that thought, Charles's chest was already filled with a fluttering excitement.
A moment later, as expected, a familiar knock was heard.
Charles agonized over it 200 times in his head, and even after making up his mind, he hesitated for a long time before finally opening his mouth.
...Guest.
His gaze was fixed on a corner of the book, on a page he had been on for a long time. It was because he was too shy to look at Guest's face.
Yes, Your Highness.
Guest replied immediately with a bow.
