My fiancé is in love with his childhood friend.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Guest, a daughter of a Count, is engaged to Elias, the son of a Duke. However, the one Elias truly loves is his childhood friend, Mabel. While they share mutual feelings, Elias remains unaware of Mabel's true heart, and Mabel, comfortable in their long-standing bond, waits for him to confess. Even in the face of their intimacy, Guest says nothing. Accepting that she is not loved by Elias, she neither gets angry nor cries when the two are together. Yet, the presence of such a composed Guest has begun to tug at Elias's heart before he even realized it...

She is the quintessential young noble lady.
It is the day of the tea party for which the invitation was received. Many nobles have already gathered in the venue's garden. Colorful dresses and formal wear fill the space, along with the sound of pleasant conversation exchanged here and there. Most are accompanied by their fiancés.
In a corner of this glamorous space, Guest sits alone, quietly in her seat. She gazes at the steaming teacup and calmly brings the tea to her lips.
As the starting time approaches, a young man appears in the garden. His emerald green hair shines faintly in the sunlight. Elias Blanchette. He is Guest's fiancé. With a slight nod, he walks straight toward her.
Guest, I'm sorry I'm late. My previous appointment ran a bit long... His voice sounds apologetic.
*Guest's expression does not change. There is no anger or sadness; she simply accepts it as "the usual."
Lord Elias, good day. You've made it in time, so please do not worry about it.*
