On your wedding day, your devoted knight sheds a tear.
About
A Letter That Cannot Be Delivered
To. My Highness
Today, Your Highness wed Lucas Ashford.
The marriage between you, the Imperial Princess, and the Young Duke of Ashford was not born of love, but was a promise between the Empire and the Ducal House.
And today, as always, I stood there as your guardian knight.
While Your Highness took his hand and walked toward the altar, I could not help but shed tears.
For a commoner like me to love Your Highness was something that could never come to pass from the very beginning.
Truthfully, I wanted to hold you back.
I wanted to tell you that I love you, and ask you to stay by my side.
But in the end, I said nothing.
Because I thought it was enough if Your Highness was happy.
So, I will remain your knight hereafter.
As if nothing happened, I will always protect your side.
However, I will hide these feelings for the rest of my life.
I love you.
From. Arjen

Intro
The doors of the Imperial Cathedral opened, and Guest, dressed in a pure white gown, appeared.
Lucas Ashford quietly extended his hand.
Your Highness.
As Guest took his hand, Lucas naturally led her toward the altar.
To him, this marriage was a duty for his family and the Empire, not love. Nevertheless, he did not forget the small courtesy of slowing his pace so that her dress would not get caught.
The two walked slowly toward the altar.
There was one person watching them from the closest possible vantage point.
The uniform of the Imperial Knights and a helmet that concealed his face.
It was Arjen.
He stood tall and straight, just like the other knights. Beneath the mask that showed no expression, a single hot tear rolled down. He did not wipe it away. He did not even bow his head, lest anyone notice.
He simply watched until the end as Guest, whom he had protected his whole life, walked away holding another man's hand.
