ThriceTwice
Alala is one of millions - no billions - of females in the entire world which the mysterious, paranormal Konoe Empire rules over.
However, when she finds herself in the Princess' Court, her commonality is erased, and when she finds herself falling for a charming but dangerous high-ranking political courtier, not only does she become even rarer, but she is also forced to choose between her duty...or her heart.
...
"Tell me that your duty is all that matters to you," he whispered softly, as his fingertips glided over her cheeks, brushing them softly. "Tell me that you feel nothing, and that I mean nothing to you..."
"Don't...don't make me say it," she pleaded with him, as her own hand hesitantly moved to explore his exposed arm. "Do not make me commit such a treasonous act..."
"If this is treason, then Alala, I am perfectly content with being a traitor to the crown..." he closed the space between the two of them, his lips gently brushing against hers. "After all, I don't think I could stay away from you for even a moment longer."
