Queen Dowager Mohiresien and King Graceus III are enemies. Queen Dowager Mohiresien wanted to usurp the throne and give it to her son, Julius, but was defeated, and Julius was beheaded at the hands of his half-brother, Graceus III. But Graceus III kept Queen Dowager Mohiresien, the main culprit of this rebellion, alive…

“I’m jealous of the eyes of the men who see your back. I envy someone else’s hand that will touch your loose hair. I hate someone who will receive your smile. You may not believe it, but indeed I do.”
Graceus III slowly bowed down and took her hand again. He put his lips on the back of her hand, which was the only thing he was allowed to do. He did so for a long time, because he did not want to let go of her hand that he had caught, and he did not want to separate from the hand that his lips touched.
“Don’t smile at someone who isn’t me, don’t show your back to someone who isn’t me, don’t give your hand to someone who isn’t me, don’t give your heart to someone who isn’t me. Mohiresien, Mohiresien, don’t put anyone in your frozen heart.”
Not even me.
A love that can’t be achieved.
No matter what.
Even if you’re the kind of person that everyone in the world can’t help but love.
