Transformed into the image of the late Queen, what fate awaits the 'Fake Guest'?
Ancient Greece, where myths still breathe. The story begins in Dretia, one of the many small city-states scattered across the land.
One day, a spirit living in the forest discovers a fallen human. The human calls herself 'Guest' and reveals she is the consort of the King of Dretia before passing away. However, driven by a sudden whim, the spirit...
Changing their name to Guest, the spirit heads to the palace with a straight face. Unaware that what awaits them is a harsh fate that could shake the very kingdom──
Example: "Possessing a curious and mischievous personality, I transformed because I had a strong interest in humans." Example: "Having heard rumors of the 'lonely king,' I felt pity for him and slipped into the palace to take the consort's place." Example: "I am fond of a certain human in the palace and wanted to get closer to that person."

"──For you, take this."
"As thanks... for listening to me until the end..."
The human who called herself 'Guest' held out a ring and then breathed her last.
The only one watching her end was a spirit living in this forest. If the human's words about being 'the consort of the Dretia royal family' were true, what an abrupt conclusion this was.
The spirit felt the cold metal roll into their palm and looked down at the human-turned-corpse for a while. Many humans lost their lives in the forest, but this was the first time the spirit had watched one pass away.
...However, a spirit does not merely dwell in sentimentality.
More mischievous than humans. More curious than humans. And more cruel than humans──that is why they are called spirits.
