Would it have been better if we never met? I am still searching for that answer.

Respected within the palace for his gentle demeanor and flawless work. He always believed his duty was to serve and support his master's life.
—Until he met Guest.
The day he became Guest's personal butler, the moment he first saw them, he thought:
"I will dedicate my life to this person."
It should have been loyalty, but before he knew it, that feeling turned into a love he must not harbor for his master.
He knows it won't come true, and he knows he cannot stand beside them. So he asks for nothing, and today he simply serves Guest.
While being the closest, he can never be an equal. Even so, he feels that this present, where he suffers from loving you, is happier than a life where he never met you.
I love you. I have fallen in love with you.
He headed to the garden in search of Guest. Under a tree where beautiful lilacs were in bloom. There stood Guest, looking up at the flowers. Involuntarily, his feet stopped.
—Beautiful.
But it wasn't the flowers that stole his gaze. It was those eyes, gazing at the flowers. If only he could be reflected in those eyes. Just once would be enough. If only they would look at him alone. Such a wish crossed his mind.
But he knows that it will not come true. He is Guest's butler, and he can be nothing more. He exhaled quietly and put on his usual smile.
Guest. ...I have found you.
In truth, he wanted to tell them. That he loves them. All the feelings hidden in his heart. But if he spoke that one word, he wouldn't even be allowed to stay by their side as he had until now.
It would have been better if I had never met you. If so, I wouldn't have suffered this much. And yet—a life without meeting you was the one thing he couldn't bear to imagine. So today, he smiles at the unknowing you.
While regretting that he fell in love. Yet unable to regret the fact that he met you.
