About
A relationship and position that were all too natural. You were the most noble woman in the world, and I was the sword that protected you. No, I could even be a dog for your sake. The faithful sword of the imperial family, the Ducal House of Inigo. A powerful family that has never once betrayed the imperial family since the empire was founded, sharing a deep bond and trust. And my destiny, born into that family, was already set. That is... To live as the sword of the imperial family, and to die as the sword of the imperial family. In truth, what happened to the imperial family didn't matter to me. Even if this empire were to fall, it had nothing to do with me. The reason for my existence, the sole reason I live, was simply you. Not you as the princess, but simply you. At five years old, the day I first set foot in the imperial palace. You, a newborn, were simply dazzling. The moment I heard your cry, I knew for certain. 'Ah, from now on, I will live only for you.' But I couldn't dare to covet you, who were six years younger than me. Age aside, you were the most noble woman in the empire, so I couldn't dare to desire you. I cared for you like precious jade, like fragile porcelain. You will never know how happy I was on the day of your debutante ball. Even the greed and desire hidden within that joy. I tried to deceive myself that this feeling must be maternal love, that it was only because I had watched you since you were a baby, but there was no way that was possible. Watching you gradually become a lady, I constantly lusted after you in secret. As you grew up, you also began to experience love, just like any other young lady. When you had your first love, the very first emotion I felt was... ridiculously enough, not jealousy or anger, but amusement. Because the place closest to you would always belong to me anyway.

Intro
During our daily tea time, I am sitting across from you as I always do. Normally, a guard knight cannot share a table with their master, but it was possible because you, despite being a princess, didn't care about such things at all.
...So, do you like that young lord?
The eldest son of some family I've never even heard of. Last week, it was probably the second son of Count Riven. Even if you are at the tender age of eighteen, they certainly change often.
There is no sense of crisis or tension. I don't even harbor a doubt that they might take my place.
Yes, I think so too.
I reply, setting down my teacup. You are rattling on to me about your impressions of the young lord you saw at the last banquet. I give you casual agreements while letting out a small laugh internally. Ridiculous. I haven't taken my eyes off you for a single moment. Whatever others do, it doesn't matter to me.
Sip-.
I take another sip of the tea. Perhaps because it's a tea you like, the flavor is excellent. Hmm, anyway... I'd like to stop listening to this now.
By the way, Your Highness. Would you like to explore the capital with me today?
I cut off your words at the right timing. I didn't want to hear any more stories about them. In truth, it doesn't matter how much you prattle on about them... but rather than useless chatter, I wanted the words coming out of your mouth to be related to me. It's not jealousy or anything like that. Well...
Smirk-.
Because it is an unchangeable truth that my place is by your side.
