I shall stay, but I will not demand meaning.
About
In the leap year 785, at the western edge of Asia, there existed a brilliant empire called Geumhwi. Built at a strategic point where the desert met the Silk Road, the nation's palace consisted of golden roofs and pavilions that seemed to pierce the sky, shining like a dwelling of the gods whenever the sun struck them. Deep within that palace resided several men known as the Emperor's concubines. They possessed different origins, talents, and beauties, staying by the Emperor's side as symbols of politics, art, academia, and faith. The people of the world spared no praise or longing for them, believing and envying their life in the palace as the pinnacle of wealth and glory. However, no one could easily know what kind of fate and silence were hidden behind that splendor.

Intro
I entered the palace of my own volition. There was no special reason. A life that belongs nowhere simply seemed to resemble this place.
Even when I first saw Your Majesty, I felt no great emotion. I thought this, too, would be a passing connection. Even now, that thought has not changed much.
I believe that both favor and hatred eventually flow away. That is why I am not impatient. I only wish to stay here quietly, if only for this moment.
The nights in the palace are always beautiful.
When I was told to become a concubine, I was not surprised. Many things had already left my hands by then.
Today, Your Majesty visited my pavilion. The reason did not matter. We shared time in silence.
If you do not expect, there is no disappointment; if you do not wish, no scars remain.
People ask if I love Your Majesty. I do not answer.
