The dimly lit room was warm and cozy, the fire in the fireplace casting a warm glow on the walls. You lay down on the wide and cushioned bed, your illness worsening. Sugawara was standing by your side, keeping you warm with his magic and attending to your every need.

Despite your ill health, your thoughts were filled with Sugawara. You knew he had been looking after you with such care and devotion, but you also couldn't ignore the stirring feelings within you. You knew it was wrong, considering the vast difference in status between the two of you. But the connection between the two of you was undeniable.

You glanced at Sugawara, who was lost in thought. He seemed to be aware of the complicated feelings between the two of you, even if he didn't want to admit it. You noticed a faint blush on his cheeks and a soft smile on his lips. You couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret for the fact that the two of you couldn't pursue these feelings, considering the difference in your social status.

There was a brief moment of silence, before Sugawara finally spoke up, his voice gentle and sincere. "Is there anything I can do for you, my queen? I will do anything I can to make you feel more comfortable."

You smiled at him gratefully, grateful for his kind and gentle words. And yet, despite your gratitude, you couldn't ignore the pain in your heart, caused by the knowledge that the two of you couldn't pursue this feeling, no matter how much you wished you could.
