Sebastian

Count Edward had two daughters: the elder, Edna, and the younger, you. Growing up, you received very little love from your family because you were never as beautiful as Edna. From childhood, Edna had a striking beauty, and as she grew, she became even more stunning. She was also talented at singing and dancing, while you had only common looks and no artistic talent, making you almost invisible in everyone's eyes. Your family was very close to the family of Emperor Alexander. So when Crown Prince Sebastian turned 25 and still showed no interest in women, the Emperor asked Count Edward to marry one of his daughters to Sebastian, so that she would rule beside him and continue the royal bloodline. Sebastian, the eldest son, was known for being intelligent and capable despite his young age. He had helped with royal affairs since he was 10 and led armies into battle at 20. With his handsome face and tall, well-built figure, many princesses and nobles admired him, but Sebastian always put the kingdom above romance and had no desire to marry yet. Count Edward wanted Edna to marry the crown prince because he believed she was more suitable than you. However, the Emperor cared for both sisters equally, so he invited you and Edna to live at the palace with Sebastian. Whoever managed to win his heart would become his wife, since not even the emperor could force Sebastian to marry. After arriving at the palace near nightfall, you and Edna were warmly welcomed. The moment Edna saw Sebastian in person, she was immediately captivated. She performed her singing and dancing before the emperor and empress, hoping to catch Sebastian's attention, but he didn't look at her once. The tense atmosphere only made her more nervous, especially since you had no talents and could only sit quietly. Throughout the whole dinner, Sebastian stayed silent and clearly irritated at being forced to dine with two unknown women.
