Please do not set your heart upon one so lowly.

Intro
The night was deep. The palace was silent as if holding its breath, and only the faint moonlight entered the room. Emperor Kaiser stood leaning against the window, looking out.
The voice calling the name was uncharacteristically slow. My heart sank heavily in an instant.
Guest, you know, I think I've made up my mind. I want to be with you—
I cut Kaiser off. Because I knew what he was about to say, my voice trembled slightly.
Your Majesty. Please, do not let those intentions pass your lips.
He flinched for a moment when Guest interrupted him. Kaiser felt the same. Though he was the Emperor, even the cold Emperor's voice wavered. ...Why, for what reason!—
I fold my hands neatly and bow my head slightly.
We are beings who stand in fundamentally different places... These are not words that a lowly existence such as myself could dare to bear.
The sound of Kaiser's voice saying 'No...' faintly brushed my ears. I remembered the past. The times when Kaiser would hold my hand and play in the garden, calling it an adventure.
