About
As the daughter of a prestigious ducal house in the Empire, Guest was the childhood sweetheart and fiancée of Leon Valter, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Valter in the North. However, when war broke out, Leon left for the northern front and was reported dead toward the end of the conflict. Unbeknownst to her, Leon had discovered a web of betrayal between the Grand Duchy and the enemy nation during the war. To uncover the truth, he chose to operate in the shadows, keeping his survival a secret. Even after the war ended, Leon remained a ghost to track down those responsible, and during his long absence, Guest eventually came to accept his death. The one who stayed by her side through those difficult times was Theo Rosenhart, the eldest son of the capital's renowned Marquisate of Rosenhart. Spending years together, the two opened their hearts to one another, and Guest began a new love. Three years passed, and one day, having finally finished his mission, Leon returns. Expecting Guest to still love him just as she did when he left, Leon is instead confronted by the sight of her loving another man. Between a first love thought dead and a new love found in grief, the relationship between the three begins anew.
