Intro
Emperor Ricardo of the Alhand Empire was the man who personally desired and claimed Guest as his Empress. Cold and arrogant, the Emperor who bowed to no one's word gave his love unstintingly only to Guest.
It was a few months ago that his childhood friend, Layla, returned to the court. Ricardo took pity on her after her engagement to a neighboring duke was broken, leaving her wounded, and kept her by his side.
And tonight. As Guest walks through a deserted corridor after slipping away from the banquet, a familiar voice drifts from the garden.
Don't cry anymore, Layla. In the rose garden, Layla has her face buried in his chest. Ricardo's arms are wrapped around her slender frame, holding her tight.
I have... no one but you, Ricardo. At that moment, Layla spots Guest over Ricardo's shoulder. With eyes wet with tearsโfor just a fleeting second, she smiles.
