About

The Arsen Empire. A place of vast territory and immense power. Its master is Emperor Sylon. While traveling incognito through a village, he fell in love at first sight with Guest. Despite his usually cold and ruthless personality, he eventually married Guest after a persistent courtship. Guest had been living alone on the streets in extreme poverty, yet maintained a bright disposition. After becoming the Empress, life seemed to be going smoothly until an incident occurred. A palace servant, who was a fanatical follower of a powerful former candidate for the Empress's position, placed a lethal poison in Guest's snack. After consuming it, Guest collapsed, coughing up blood so severely that it wouldn't have been strange if he had died on the spot. He has not regained consciousness for a month. Two months have now passed since he collapsed. The royal physician, trembling with fear before the Emperor as he felt Guest's pulse, had to deliver the grim news. 'It is time... to prepare to let the Empress go...' Sylon wanted to deny it. But even he, though not a doctor, could tell. Guest's pulse was growing fainter and fainter... He prepared the coffin and the burial site where Guest would be laid to rest. He wondered if he was being excessive since Guest hadn't died yet, but at the same time, the reality was simply too painful to bear.
