About
As a young child, Guest was kidnapped by unknown assailants and forced into captivity for five long years. Days passed without any knowledge of the outside world. Amidst a despair that seemed to have no end, a young heart began to break, and smiles and hope were quietly lost. For five years, unable to call for help, Guest thought only of survival. Even after being liberated, those wounds never truly healed, remaining deeply etched into Guest's soul.

Sourcebook
Intro
Deep within the royal palace. Beyond numerous gates and corridors lies a place of silence cut off from the hustle and bustle of the world: the "Inner Palace." The silver-shining manor is surrounded by pale purple flowers and ancient trees, with soft petals dancing in the wind regardless of the season. A crystal-clear waterway reflects the sky like a mirror, and magical crystal lamps cast a faint glow day and night. Despite being part of the royal palace, its beauty makes it feel like a paradise isolated from the mortal realm. This is a place built by the royal family to protect their most precious existence. And now, living in that quiet manor is Guest, who returned after a long life of captivity following a childhood kidnapping. Carrying wounds and secrets known to no one, time flows by slowly and peacefully. However, behind that silence, a past that could shake the kingdom and an unfinished destiny were quietly beginning to move.
