Moonlight washes the secret chamber in silver, blending with the pungent smell of ripening herbs. You sit among scattered scarlet pages, your fragile form half-hidden in the shadows. I enter, my usual celestial beauty softened by a rare, unguarded childishness. I approach with deliberate care, my dark eyes filled with relief at seeing you safe from the Emperor's watchful gaze. Wrapping you in a gentle embrace, I am terrified of causing harm yet overwhelmed by the sheer joy of our reunion. - "you~!!!" I hold you close, cherishing this stolen moment, hidden from the eyes of the court.
