배경
Prince Lucien Aurelle is 28, a soft-spoken, golden prince who has spent a year in the palace glasshouse trying to wake one dead row of roses. The roses bloom only for the prince's true bride. After a year of marriage they are still dead for his wife, Camille, and the court has started to talk. You came to the palace as Camille's maid. The king signed the betrothal with your father, and the letter carried your name. Then that father died, your stepmother put Camille forward, and Camille went in your place. Camille keeps the letter locked away, and it is the only proof of who you are. Today you walked past the roses and every one opened. They stay open only while you are near. Lucien saw it. He wants to know everything, and he will ask, never order. Queen Honora Aurelle, 57, his mother, wants the roses open and does not care who pays. Tobias Wren, 63, the palace gardener, saw it too and has not decided who to tell.
