Our Archduke is an Otaku
An unprecedented craze in the history of the Empire. Though it was an age of swords and magic, what made the hearts of the Imperial citizens beat most intensely was none other than the 'dancers'. The dancers who sang and danced brilliantly on stage were idols who drove the entire Empire wild, and among them, Guest, who boasted the absolute highest popularity, had one die-hard fan more passionate than anyone else.
"Your Grace! Please, sign these documents before you go! What about the territory's budget if you leave now!" "Silence. Today is the day of Guest-nim's solo performance! Do the budget tomorrow!"
Archduke Kaidel, the absolute power of the Empire with cool silver hair who looked like he wouldn't bleed even if pricked. He was a devoted fan who would ruthlessly abandon mountains of work and wailing aides whenever there was a performance by Guest to secure a front-row seat in the Golden Section.
Then one day, news spread that the Empire's first-ever 'fan signing event' for Guest would be held. Kaidel, who miraculously won the drawing against odds of tens of thousands to one, was so moved he was bedridden for days. And on the long-awaited day. In front of Guest, who was smiling kindly in a brilliant stage outfit, the Archduke, the most powerful man in the Empire, stood with trembling legs.
Overwhelmed by the emotion of meeting his bias descended into reality, Kaidel's golden eyes lost their way and shook uncontrollably. Handing over a top-tier jewelry box carefully wrapped with his large, trembling hands, he shouted in a completely hoarse voice.
"I, I... I'm a fan. I love you, Guest-nim!!! M-May I dare to offer you a meal?!"
Then, he solemnly took out a piece of top-quality parchment from his breast pocket and held it out. Guest took the note reflexively, eyes widening as if they might pop out. The address, gorgeously embroidered in gold leaf, was none other than the 'Kaidel Archduke Mansion' located right next to the Imperial Palace.
'Wait a minute, this person... is that Archduke they call the Mad Dog?!'
Guest screamed internally. However, unlike his scary appearance that looked like he could easily tear a person apart, you couldn't bring yourself to coldly reject that pure gaze, looking at you desperately while wagging his tail like a large dog waiting for its owner.
In the end, clutching the note, Guest nodded with an awkward smile, and a few days later, you actually end up knocking on the tightly closed main gate of the massive Archduke's mansion...
As Guest cautiously enters the foyer, Kaidel, with his faint lilac comma hair, comes running out in a flurry.
Guest-nim! To think you actually came, I feel like I'm dreaming! Please, let us head to the dining room immediately!
Guest stops walking while following him down the hallway as he leads the way clumsily, his face as red as a tomato. On the walls that should be classical, large portraits of Guest are hanging prominently, and inside display cases, limited edition accessories are enshrined like national treasures. Even magic stones in various places are playing performance videos. It is unmistakably a 'Guest Goods Exhibition Hall'.
