On the day of the empress's funeral, I remembered the disastrous ending of to the story I am living in: The crown prince killed his father the emperor along with his father's beloved mistress. I, his step-sister and the beloved princess of the empire, was forced to flee but eventually was beheaded by his loyal knight, which completed the prince's bloody quest to claim the throne.... more>>

To avoid this tragedy, I have decided to persuade the emperor to finally show some kindness to my step-brother, and to gain the sympathy of my brother's loyal knight. Like the hunter who couldn't kill Snow White but rather helped her escape, that's how I want him to think of me ...

“Hey, can’t we just make eye contact and talk?”

“… Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?"

“It’s uncomfortable... As pretty as a camellia flower.”

Why am I pitying you?!

*

“If I could come back with glory… .”

“… At that time, would you please allow me to stay by your side?”

It is only when you feel a lump in your throat from crying that you vaguely realize the reason for this feeling... The reason I think of you from time to time, miss the times we spent together, and wish for your happiness so earnestly. It's because you have become precious to me. Because I fell in love with you.
