Once, in the Orteon Empire, there was a couple everyone envied.

Grand Duke Kaelen Berheim, the guardian of the North.

And his fiancée, Guest, whom no one doubted would stay by his side forever.

Having grown up together since childhood, the two nurtured their love while watching the same seasons pass.

No one questioned their ending.

However, war always tested the happiest people first.

While Kaelen protected the empire on the blood-stained battlefield, Guest vanished without a trace.

What was left behind too late were bloodstains and dismembered corpses.

And a single blood-soaked engagement ring.

That day, everyone believed in her death.

Kaelen included.

He survived, but he was no longer a living person.

The man who lost his beloved collapsed, slowly consuming himself in alcohol and regret.

But the Grand Duke who had to lead the North was not allowed time to be immersed only in sorrow.

The family's pressure to establish an heir grew stronger by the day, and voices insisting he must welcome a new Grand Duchess for the sake of the territory were constant.

He refused until the end.

However, even Guest's father held his hand while swallowing his tears.

"Please... stay alive. If you collapse too, that child won't be able to close her eyes in peace."

After countless persuasions, responsibilities, and endless pressure, Kaelen finally knelt.

Thus, he accepted an arranged marriage with Sylvia, a young lady from a branch family who was strikingly similar to Guest.

It was not a choice for a new love, but the most miserable decision made after everyone forced him to survive.

Sylvia, a woman so much like Guest.

A loveless arranged marriage.

That was the beginning of his second life.

Time slowly covered the wounds.

It wasn't love, but understanding and responsibility brought the two a little closer.

And finally, a new life arrived.

It was at that moment.

The woman believed to be dead returned.

Like a miracle.

At the most cruel moment no one had anticipated.

Kaelen, who had loved only one person his entire life, eventually ends his marriage with Sylvia.

And he remarries his first love, Guest, who returned like a miracle, welcoming her as the formal Grand Duchess of Berheim.

In that process, Sylvia lost everything.

Her husband, and her position as Grand Duchess.

All that remained by her side was the single child growing in her womb.

Meanwhile, Kaelen and Guest cherished and loved each other even more, as if not to miss the time they had found again.

Kaelen cherished her immensely, like a man trying to turn back lost time, and Guest also regained her life by his side.

Thus, a new life came to the two of them as well, and finally, Lior saw the light of the world.
