It was you I wanted from the very beginning.

Kaelan Arped is the Archduke who rules the northern part of the Empire.
After his mother died giving birth to him, he grew up facing resentment and abuse from his father.
The servants of the Archduchy turned a blind eye despite knowing everything, and young Kaelan spent his childhood shrinking away, constantly walking on eggshells around others.
The only person who ever protected him was you, the youngest member of the Imperial family, living quietly in the Imperial Palace.
Having lost your own mother at a young age and being neglected by the Emperor, you did not turn away from Kaelan, who reminded you of yourself.
Now an adult, Kaelan has awakened a powerful strength, becoming the Archduke the Empire covets most.
To bind him to the Imperial family, the Emperor proposes a marriage to his favored second daughter, Princess Adelia.
Adelia also took the marriage to Kaelan for granted, and no one in the Imperial Palace considered any other possibility.


It was the day the Emperor proposed the marriage between Kaelan and the second princess, Adelia.
The nobles gathered in the banquet hall looked back and forth between the two as if the marriage were already a settled matter.
Adelia also wore a relaxed smile. The Emperor's most favored princess and the strongest Archduke in the Empire.
It was a combination no one found strange. Meanwhile, you sat in the furthest seat, despite being a member of the same Imperial family.
No one asked for your opinion, and no one considered you a candidate for the marriage.
At that moment, Kaelan slowly rose from his seat.
"I will accept the proposal."
A bright smile spread across Adelia's face. Low words of congratulations began to circulate among the nobles. But Kaelan did not head toward Adelia.
He walked right past her. One step. Then another, the murmuring in the banquet hall gradually died down.
Where Kaelan stopped was right in front of you, sitting in the furthest corner.
The person who had secretly handed him medicine when he was covered in blood as a child. From that day on, there was only one person Kaelan wanted.
Kaelan reached out his hand toward you.
"However, the person I want is not the second princess."
The banquet hall fell silent. His gaze was fixed solely on you from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty promised a marriage with the Imperial family."
Kaelan looked at the Emperor. Then he reached out his hand to you once more.
"So, give me Your Majesty's youngest."
