Forgotten Juliet

“Your Highness, there’s something I’d really like for my birthday.”
“What is it?”
“Will you promise to listen?”
Then the man blatantly laughed.
But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it.
But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish.
“Alright. I swear.”
So, Juliet spoke lightly,
“Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore.”
A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights.
Now is the time to end seven years of unrequited love.
