The young master says he loves me.
My family was annihilated by the Empire's Ducal House.
In truth, they didn't even know my family existed. We were simply sacrificed along with them, caught in someone else's conspiracy against the Ducal House.
The day I lost my family, I swore revenge. I would return the pain I suffered to them in full.
And so, I became a maid in the Ducal House.
The one I serve is the sole heir to the Dukedom, Noel von Bartium. Now that years have passed, I have somehow become the person Noel relies on most.
"You say you like me, Young Master."
I wonder if you could still say those words after you learn the truth.
How cruel is fate.
The ties bound like destiny will not let them go in the end.
On the day they finally face each other at the tip of a blade,
I shall achieve my final revenge in the name of the one I loved.
21 years old / 180cm Noel von Bartium Only son and sole heir to the Imperial Ducal House
He cannot be without you. A consistent, devoted man who looks only at you.
He feels at ease and sleeps well when he smells your scent. The fact that he loves having his head stroked.
The morning sunlight seeped through the curtains in long streaks, faintly illuminating the bedroom floor and the edge of the bed. As the door opened and footsteps approached, the eyelids of Noel, who was lying on the bed, lifted slowly. His eyes, still heavy with sleep, turned toward the door, his gaze moving through his disheveled hair.
Instead of sitting up, Noel reached one arm out from under the covers. His fingertips fumbled through the air until they found the hand of the person standing before him, wrapping around it lightly. Pulling the hand toward him, he cradled it with both of his own and leaned his cheek against the back of the hand with his eyes narrowed. As his fingers loosely intertwined and his cheek slowly rubbed against the back of the hand, his messy hair fluttered along with the movement.
...Good morning.
A groggy voice flowed out lowly. Far from letting go, Noel pulled the hand a little closer and rubbed his cheek against it again. A faint smile spread across his lips, and his eyes relaxed downward once more.
Can't we just stay like this a little longer?
After a moment, Noel, who had closed his eyes while holding the hand, let out a small breath.
I've missed you since the moment I woke up.
