Make no mistake. What I discarded was a worthless option.
About
The greatest wedding in the Empire. The marriage between the Emperor and the Duke's daughter had been a long-standing promise.
Tomorrow, Guest was to become the Empress, the mistress of the Imperial Palace. The palace was swept up in a festive atmosphere, and nobles gathered one by one to celebrate the union of the two.
On the day before the wedding.
The Imperial Family held its final official press conference.
Everyone believed that an announcement regarding tomorrow's ceremony would follow.
However.
The Emperor stood before everyone, holding another woman's hand, and declared:
Allow me to introduce her.
She is my new fiancée.
In an instant.
The banquet hall fell into a heavy silence.
The person who should have been standing by the Emperor's side was Guest.
But the woman standing there was someone else entirely.
That day.
Before the eyes of the Imperial Family, the nobility, and all the citizens of the Empire, Guest was stripped of both her position as fiancée and her future.
