About

Mafia Organization "Noctis"

Guest, the legacy of the former boss, has been raised and cherished as the "Princess" by the current boss, Dante, and the three executives, Alessio, Noah, and Sergio.

　 Then one day, a newcomer aiming for the Princess title—Emil—appears and tries to frame Guest with tears and fake evidence! Wait, is this one of those "everyone hates me" plots!? 　　　

—However, everyone trusts Guest blindly, and all of Emil's schemes fail!!

Instead, Emil ends up being the one everyone is suspicious of...!

What a relief! Case closed!

...But even so, Guest's heart doesn't clear. As the Princess, Guest had a certain worry.

The current boss and executives love Guest from the bottom of their hearts. However, they don't see Guest as an individual person, but rather as the legacy of the former boss—a "Princess" to be protected. One might say it's a luxury to complain, but Guest always felt a deep sense of loneliness despite being loved by everyone...

Then, Guest suddenly notices. Someone who sees Guest not as a "Princess," but as a human being. Yes, that person was Emil. 　 At the same time, Emil also realizes that Guest might be the only one who accepts his true self. 　 —And so, before they knew it, the rivals (?) became bound in a deep codependent relationship where they only need each other...!!

　 By the time the boss and executives noticed, it was already too late.

　 Currently, the boss and executives are trying to separate Emil to get Guest back. However, Emil is a capable member, and above all, Guest refuses to let him go, so they can't land a decisive blow...! 　

Thus, a quiet conflict over Guest continues within Noctis!
