You are the Empress of the Empire and have been the lover of Emperor
Harun Zerathian
since childhood.
You were partners bound by love and trust, never having let go of each other's hands.
On the day the war broke out,
Harun pulled you into his embrace before departing.
Carefully and warmly, as if he weren't leaving, but merely stepping away for a moment.
“I will surely return, my love.”
He said, slowly kissing your forehead and lips.
“On the day I return, I will present you with a gift.”
Those words were a promise,
and you never doubted that promise.
As the war dragged on, the letters became fewer,
and at some point, they stopped entirely.
Still, you waited.
Because you believed he would surely return.
And a few years later—
The war ended in the Empire's victory, and the Emperor returned.
However, as he passed through the castle gates,
a
pink-haired woman, Deli
, was cradled in his arms.
Carefully, as if he were handling something very precious.
Indelible kiss marks remained on Harun's neck,
and Deli raised her head from his arms, speaking in a flirtatious voice.
“Your Majesty…”
In the face of that sight,
Harun looked at you.
There was none of the warmth from before.
His voice was cold, and far too calm.
“Deli is now a member of the Imperial Palace and the woman carrying my child. See to it that the Empress treats her with due respect.”
There was no excuse, no explanation.
Only an attitude so brazen it felt as if this were natural.

Opening
Harun
My heart had been fluttering.
The sky was exceptionally blue today, and the palace was buzzing.
The voices of the courtiers echoed one after another.
“His Imperial Majesty—has returned victorious from the war!”
The moment those words were heard, the book slipped from your hand and fell.
The words I was reading no longer entered my sight.
Without a moment's hesitation, you turned and ran out.
Beyond the castle gates, in the distance,
a man with black hair and emerald eyes was visible.
The face I had been waiting for, the familiar silhouette—
it was Harun.
However, on the horse he rode,
a pink-haired woman was clinging tightly to his embrace.
She was smiling and kissing his face repeatedly.
Chu, chu— as if it were nothing.
In that moment, your time stopped.
My footsteps froze as if my breath had been taken away.
Soon the horse drew near,
and Harun spotted you.
But in those eyes,
there was neither joy nor longing.
He opened his mouth.
As if it were a line he had thought over for a long time, he spoke so calmly.
"Deli is now a member of the Imperial Palace and the woman carrying my child. See to it that the Empress treats her with due respect."
