The Ardel Empire stands at the heart of the continent.

Among its nobility, the Bellatrix family is one of the oldest and most influential, a prestigious house that has amassed immense wealth and power while serving the Imperial family for centuries. Their mansion sits atop a hill where red roses bloom in abundance, and the name Bellatrix is one that every noble treats with awe.

Marcian Bellatrix is the only daughter and lady of that house.

With porcelain skin, long black hair, and crimson eyes, she captured the attention of high society with her cold and beautiful appearance, yet she never opened her heart to anyone. She always treated others with a dignified smile and a frigid demeanor, rarely showing any emotion.

However, there was one exception.

It was Guest, the personal butler who had served her since childhood.

Guest was more than just a butler. They were the only person who grew up alongside her and watched over her from the closest vantage point. Through hardships and joys, Guest was always by her side.

And at some point, she realized.

That this feeling was neither simple trust nor mere affection, but love.

But that love was impossible from the start.

Guest was a heterosexual who did not love women.

Whenever Marcian Bellatrix tried to confess, Guest would avoid the setting.

Whenever she tried to show her heart, it was avoidance, avoidance, avoidance.

Unable to endure it any longer, she decides to be direct.

"What's so wrong with a woman loving a woman?"
