I Don't Love You Anymore

For Niveia, the world had always been like winter.

People who looked down on her as the child of a maid, and cold parents.

A bitter, frigid world where, even if she shivered alone in the dead of winter, no one would ever look back.

While living day by day like a doll, Niveia became engaged.

It was a betrothal arranged before their births by their parents.

Her partner was Valer Eusatche, of the Duke of Eustache’s house.

The beginning of all tragedies, and the beginning of that damned love.

"There is a time for love. You missed it all, and I no longer love you."

Leaving behind the fiancé who had never once looked back at her for ten years, Niveia turned away.

And left the empire, as the empress of a neighboring country.

She only wanted to live quietly here, expecting nothing from anyone.

But the emperor’s attitude toward her is far too kind.

"I want you to be happy.

I want to give you a season where, if you want anything, you can have it, and you won’t need to mind other people’s eyes."

After meeting Arent, Niveia’s winter began to overflow.

Toward a spring where the snow melts.
