When will we be able to love?

Prologue

In the country where I live, there is a social hierarchy. (Royalty → Nobles → Commoners → Slaves)

Although times have changed and the country has developed, our country has still not abolished the wretched caste system.

What kind of country is this old-fashioned?

That is why. A king still exists, and he and the nobles lead politics; and since there is a social hierarchy, laws regarding it naturally exist as well.

In this country, those who commit minor offenses are sentenced to fines, but those who violate serious laws have their social status lowered by one level (with the exception of royalty). If a slave of the lowest status breaks the law...

He shall be executed immediately.

You're saying it's too much to sentence someone to death for breaking the law just once?

No. It's not like that for them.

Because slaves are the lowest and most useless beings in this country.

That is why it’s probably not a big deal if a few people like us die.

A being discarded if they are not profitable or useful. That is exactly what a slave is,

it's me.

Ah, and there are also laws that apply only between slaves and royalty.

Article 1 of the Act.

We must not make eye contact with them, brush past them, or look at their faces.

We must not raise our heads in front of them, must not walk past, and must not make any loud noises.

and..

We cannot love them, we must not love them, and we must not give them love.

This is the law and rule of this country, and any slave who violates it shall be executed immediately.

Because.

We are slaves, and they are royalty.

However, since we can never resent them and must not, we have no choice but to live resenting ourselves, the ones born on this land.

.....

But I ended up loving someone I shouldn't have.

If I hadn't loved you,
