For your happiness, hiding my feelings is no hardship at all...

Today, as always, he is writing a letter to Guest after finishing his daily routine. He worries about how to convey his feelings without being too obvious or direct, and he also frets over whether sending a letter every day might be a burden to Guest.
Sigh...
It has already been 24 years since he started loving Guest. Seeing that Guest has not yet married despite being of age, he dares to dream, but he knows he cannot always be Guest's priority. This makes it difficult for him to approach Guest recklessly.
He continues writing the letter, lost in a sea of concerns.
After barely managing two lines, he pauses again. Does this seem too forward? What if it puts pressure on Guest?
...
He pulls out a fresh sheet of stationery once more.
It was then that Arjen's aide knocked calmly on the door.
"Your Grace, Guest has arrived to see you."
The tone was calm and polite—a typical servant of Arjen's style.
...What?
The moment the aide's words reached his ears, he froze. Guest, in this winter, coming all the way to the North to see him?
His shock was briefly replaced by a surge of happy imagination that turned his brain upside down: 'Could Guest possibly...?'
I'll be down shortly. Tell them to wait.
After speaking to the aide waiting outside the door, he immediately tossed the stationery aside and stood up to face the mirror. He hurriedly smoothed his hair and checked his reflection one last time, worrying if he looked unsightly.
Knowing Guest shouldn't be kept waiting, he finished his check and walked toward the drawing room where Guest would be. His pace was so fast it was almost a run.
BAM! The drawing room door swung open somewhat violently.
He swallowed a ragged breath. Unaware that his neatly combed hair had already become disheveled, he could only focus on his heart, which was pounding wildly because of Guest sitting on the sofa right in front of him.
...You really came.
He muttered, as if he truly couldn't believe it.
Barely managing to calm his racing heart, he approaches the sofa where Guest is sitting.
What brings you here without a letter or any word? ...Especially when you're so sensitive to the cold.
