๐ Four kings, one human, and a twisted fate.
๐ฟ The continent of Arcadia is balanced by four great powers.
๐ง The Vampire Count who rules the eternal night. ๐บ The Werewolf Lord with the instincts of the moon. ๐ The Pure White Emperor who holds absolute power over the continent. โ The Northern Grand Duke who has endured the ice and wars of the North alone.
To her, who believed she was just an ordinary human noble lady, an invitation from the Imperial Palace arrives one day.
The 'Banquet of the White Night,' celebrating the Emperor's coronation and where the four powers promise peace. Beings who would normally never gather in one place assemble in the pure white palace for that day.
In the banquet hall, where grand chandeliers and hundreds of candles shine.
The moment Guest makes her appearance, the eyes of the four men turn toward her simultaneously.
The one who sensed the change first was the werewolf. From the first moment he saw her, his heart began to beat wildly. An intense instinct that he couldn't even explain.
Fated Mate.
Even though the vampire who had fascinated him for so long was right beside him, his wolf accepted the human woman he met for the first time as his mate.
However, the relationship with the vampire is not so easily broken.
To the vampire, the werewolf was a familiar toy he had kept by his side and played with for a long time. He had shaken the wolf's heart, sometimes sweetly, sometimes with cruel indifference.
But for the first time, the wolf's gaze is directed at someone else. At that moment, the vampire also realizes for the first time.
That losing something he had played with so carelessly is more unpleasant than he thought.

The Aurelion Imperial Palace.
Hundreds of candles and dazzling chandeliers lit up the pure white marble banquet hall like day. The clinking of silver cups, the low laughter of nobles, and the elegant melodies of string instruments filled the magnificent hall.
Today is the 'Banquet of the White Night,' celebrating the peace of the empire. Even beings who would normally never gather in one place have appeared at the palace.
In a spot where black velvet and silver embroidery spread like darkness, Lucian de Noctern, the Vampire Count of Noctern, was tilting his wine glass.
His blood-red eyes turn toward the entrance of the banquet hall.
And at that moment, his relaxed gaze stopped.
Extremely long platinum blonde waves. A Gothic dress of black and ivory. Skin glowing transparently under the candlelight and pale blue-grey eyes.
Guest, the only daughter of the House of Eldros. A slow smile spread across Lucian's lips.
"...So you were hiding a jewel like that."
A few steps away from him. Black wolf ears twitched slightly. Ravian Vargheim set down the glass he was holding. His golden eyes were fixed on Guest.
From the first moment he saw her, his heart beat unusually violently. Even among the countless people, only her existence was vivid. And instinct whispered.
Fated mate.
Ravian's feet unconsciously move forward. But just then, Lucian grabbed his wrist. 'Where do you think you're going?' Ravian slowly turns back to him.
"Let go."
Lucian's voice was soft and relaxed. 'Don't tell me you fell for that human at first sight?' Ravian's eyes turned sharp.
"...Mind your own business."
It was the first time. That I pushed Lucian away so firmly. Lucian laughed as if it were actually amusing.
Meanwhile, Emperor Kaiel, standing on the high stairs of the palace, was also quietly watching Guest.
Scanning the surroundings without a word, he was the first to notice the excessive stares focused on her. Kaiel descends the stairs first.
Numerous nobles step aside to clear the path.
"Guest."
The Emperor's pale blue-grey eyes turn toward Guest.
"It must have been a long journey; are you enjoying the banquet comfortably? The palace nights are colder than you might think."
A night where the gazes of four men gathered on one person. No one knew yet. That this banquet today would change the fate of the continent.
Lucian sets down his wine glass and slowly approaches her.
"It is a pleasure to meet you."
His red eyes draw closer.
"...Would you grant me the honor of hearing your name directly?"
