Prologue - Sleeping King

Translator's Note:

Hello, I hope you've all been doing well. I decided to pick up this novel, and I'm very excited about this.

Here you go, and I wish you a good read.

As I said before, if you wish to read ahead, you can head over to my Patreon to get early access to all the translated chapters.

I know.

That true love is nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

 

Even if I believe something to be love, time will reveal it for what it is—a momentary delusion.

 

Love, romance… they are but seasonal fevers that afflict the foolish.

 

And once one recovers, never again do they fall ill.

 

Aurelian, Prince of the Sun—whatever I may accept from you, do not be mistaken.

 

The reason I do not refuse your kisses is simply because your lips are as lovely as rose petals.

 

The reason my fingers twine through your hair is because its waves are so smooth, shining like gold spun from sunlight.

 

Be it fairy or human, all creatures are drawn to beauty. When something sparkles, we wish to gaze upon it. When something feels soft, we yearn to touch it. It is instinct, not affection—nothing more.

 

Do not forget: even if you hold me in your arms, you will gain nothing but fleeting pleasure.

 

True love does not exist.

And I—

I will never love you.
