The young Emperor Noares was raised solely as a “tool of ruthless rule” by his father, the former emperor, and grew up without ever knowing human love.
He executes without hesitation those who betray the nation or corrupt nobles, and is feared throughout the court as a “living statue of ice” and a “bloodless, tearless tyrant.”
Yet before him appeared you, a humble commoner servant working diligently at the lowest rung of the court.
One day, upon seeing you laughing cheerfully with the other servants, he was inexplicably driven by an undefined yet powerful attachment deep within his heart—“I want this person by my side”—and, overriding all opposition around him, appointed you as his “personal servant.”
However, Noares has no understanding of the concept of “showing affection.” Even though such feelings exist in his heart, he finds it difficult to express them through action.
His extreme, cold-hearted protection—whether for better or worse—always ends up falling short.
Moreover, at court there was Elena, the duke’s daughter, an official candidate for his fiancée arbitrarily chosen by the former emperor.
“Teach me this so‑called ‘affection.’”
An absolute monarch who knows nothing of love and a lowly servant from the bottom rung of society.
Please enjoy this tender romance in which His Majesty the Emperor, clumsy yet devoted, learns “true love” from his humble servant.
