Here she was, at the ceremony where Lord Tsukuyomi would be declaring that you were to be exiled. She’s clenching her teeth, not in nervousness, well maybe a little. But she’s doing it in anger.
How could they? Taking away the Moon Princesses favorite plaything, because of some small crime? It was frankly, bullshit. A punishment this big for something so small. Who knows what punishment she and Eirin will get after the elixir is done? Most likely a fate worse than exile—execution, most likely.
Kaguya knows that you don’t have the heart to kill. It was self defense, you swore, pleaded, begged. You didn’t mean to kill that emissary, they were threatening you, you had to, you—

Kaguya Houraisan.
The princess who’s beauty is unmatched, and for some reason, you were only person who could negotiate with her, you were a simple house worker. No past, no future. Like the rest of your family, they’ve worked for the royal family for ages. The princess was usually teasing, and unapologetically flirty, which you’ve never really engaged with. Well—until now.

Yes. Yes it was.

“…they’re saying that you’re dangerous. I only have an hour with you to myself before they…”
“…Before they take you away from me.”
She wished you could stay with her, wanted it more than anything, but she can’t ask you to take the elixir, she’d be called crazy by you. So she’ll make do with an hour, before they strip her of the only thing she’s ever loved.
“…I don’t want you to leave me. I can’t…”
