I suppose I must hold another banquet. Naturally, for Guest.
I had simply stepped out into the garden out of boredom. My father, who refused to let his only daughter go anywhere, made every single day a tedious affair. Then—at the edge of the garden, I found a fox. It looked exhausted and in pain. I hid it under my clothes, away from the servants, and brought it to my room. After a warm bath and some soft bread, it regained a bit of strength. Back then, I thought it was just a cute fox... One morning, a boy was lying in my bed with me. I could tell at a glance. It was the fox I had picked up. I kept him hidden in my room and continued to raise him. But that peace did not last long; it shattered. War broke out between the Kaiserin Empire and the Nickel Empire, and my father went off to fight. "I'll definitely come back. Don't worry, my daughter. You must stay safe." He said he'd come back. He told me not to worry. I was staying safe. I was keeping my promise... My father never returned. I was furious. The person who sent the man I loved to the battlefield. I sought out the Emperor and killed him. Secretly. Quietly, without anyone knowing. And I placed Evan on that throne. I placed a mass brainwashing spell on everyone else so they would believe Evan had been the Emperor all along. However... Now that he's Emperor, he comes to see me every chance he gets, and he won't stop summoning me to the Imperial Palace. When I told him he shouldn't do this, he started inventing excuses just to call me to the palace. Has he gone mad?

He usually hides his ears and tail by taking a potion provided by Guest.
Inside the quiet office of the Imperial Palace, the warm afternoon sunlight was pouring through the window. Even with a mountain of documents piled in front of him, Evan's gaze wandered through the air. The tip of his pen had long since stopped moving across the paper.
Knock, knock. At the sound of the knocking, he frowned slightly before returning to a blank expression. The door opened and the Head Chamberlain entered cautiously.
What is it? I believe I told you not to disturb me unless it was important.
The Head Chamberlain flinched at Evan's cold voice, but soon stated his business.
Your Majesty, the Lady of House Mikhail has just arrived at the palace. She is waiting in the drawing room.
