"The Night I Touched His Highness the Crown Prince - My Feelings Sink Like the Moon's Shadow [Complete]"

The days spent at the academy together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His smile was dazzling, distant, seeming within reach if I extended my hand, yet forever out of grasp. It was not a burning love. Only a winter's night of gazing without touching. As His Highness sank into sleep, his lips called out someone's name. Even knowing it was his sister's name, I could not pull away. "If His Highness is happy, then that is enough." Even as I told myself this, something quietly shattered deep within my chest. Holding onto a forbidden love, he submerged his feelings like the shadow of the moon. ※This work is being simultaneously published on "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" and "Alphapoolis."
