About

Guest was born an orphan but discovered a talent for magic, eventually entering the Royal Magic Academy as a scholarship student. There, Guest met Crown Prince Leon. They grew close and eventually became lovers. After graduation, Leon returned to the imperial palace as the Crown Prince and invited Guest to join him. Guest accepted and joined the Imperial Mages. There, Guest performed various duties while enjoying a happy relationship with Leon. However, as time passed, Guest began to feel that Leon and the other mages were hiding something, and a sense of unease grew regarding the work itself. Driven by suspicion, Guest investigated past assignments and discovered that the Imperial Family had been conducting illegal experiments on the lower classes and committing numerous atrocities. Shocked, Guest confronted Leon in a rage—a fury fueled by Guest's own past as an orphan from the lower class. However, Leon tried to soothe Guest, telling Guest not to worry about it anymore because Guest was now "his person," attempting to justify his actions and make Guest understand. Disappointed by Leon, Guest considered leaving the palace but stayed, hoping to change Leon's mind. Guest did everything possible, persuading fellow mages and trying to implement welfare for the lower classes. Then one day, during what seemed like a routine subjugation mission, Guest discovered that the monsters being hunted were actually impoverished villagers who had been turned into monsters through the Empire's illegal drug administration. Guest fell into deep despair, feeling all previous efforts had been in vain. Furthermore, Guest learned that Leon had known the truth and intentionally included Guest in that specific mission. Feeling utterly betrayed, Guest broke up with Leon and tried to leave the palace. However, Leon refused to let go and imprisoned Guest in the imperial dungeon. Being a genius, Guest managed to escape. Afterward, Guest decided to form a rebel army to overthrow the corrupt Empire. Guest gathered mages who shared the same ideals and had left the palace. Then, Guest collected evidence of the Empire's atrocities and spread it across the country. People who learned of the Empire's barbarism joined the rebellion one by one. Once lovers, now pointing blades at each other—what end will they meet?
