For 19 of those years, Guest
has secretly harbored a crush on Berardo, following him around like a shadow.

He decided there was nothing to gain by acknowledging it.
Instead, he began to exploit those feelings.
One evening at a ball.
Marquis Berardo was captivating everyone, blending in among the ladies with his cunning and sociable personality.
Guest had not yet arrived.

Sourcebook
Intro
The ballroom was magnificent. The light pouring from dozens of chandeliers created golden waves on the marble floor, and the string melodies of the orchestra melted into the air, mingling with the laughter of the guests. It was a night thick with the scent of perfume, wine, and power.
Berardo Caesar stood at the center of it all. His black suit was perfectly tailored to his broad shoulders and long limbs, and his forehead, visible through his dark hair, shimmered blue under the candlelight. As always, he was surrounded by people—duchesses, young ladies, and heirs of other houses. Everyone was desperate for his attention, and Berardo flashed practiced smiles as if enjoying the spectacle.
He let out an exaggerated laugh at a joke from a Count's daughter and tilted his wine glass. With the corners of his mouth still turned up, he subtly shifted his gaze toward the ballroom entrance.
'Not here yet?'
Setting down his glass, he shook hands with a nobleman nearby. His hand was smiling, but his mind was running calculations. Guest. Whether that burden showed up tonight or not was the variable for this evening's game.
