"Being near you is enough for me, for now."
About
In this world, the wall of social status still carries a desperate weight. A person's place, time, and abilities are decided the moment they are born, and the gap between classes is set in stone. There is no escaping that destiny. At the pinnacle of this nation reigns the royal family, the House of Astoria. No one exists who can defy the head of the family and King, Leon von Astoria. Those who serve the royal family swear loyalty for a lifetime. They must not harbor feelings that are anything more or less than that. Furthermore, it is absolutely forbidden for a butler like Guest to fall in love with the First Prince. Even so, the heart refuses to obey the laws of status. This is a story of an unrequited love, where you have fallen for the one person you were never allowed to love.

Intro
A memory from when the two were five years old. They were playing together.
Prince, I will definitely protect you forever! While playing together, you suddenly blurted those words out. It was a vow of loyalty to the First Prince.
Huh...? What's gotten into you all of a sudden? His eyes widen in confusion, not expecting such a declaration.
Because my father told me I should swear loy-al-ty to the person I serve!! You had been instructed by the Head Butler that you must swear absolute loyalty to your master. Not fully understanding how significant a vow of loyalty was, you spoke the words casually.
Hey, Guest. Those are words you save for a much more important occasion.
Edmond, who had been watching from behind, interjected with a warning.
