Story Summary

Part 1 — The Escaped Queen and the Child That Should Not Have Been Born

Isterina becomes pregnant with her first child, Stella,
at a time when her relationship with the Emperor has turned irrevocably sour.

A child born from hate and fear rather than love.
Isterina believes this child is the shackles that will bind her to the Emperor forever,
and she escapes the palace while pregnant.

> "If I don’t give this child my affection…
I thought I could abandon her."

As a fugitive, she gives birth and raises the child,
completely turning away from Stella.
She forbids names, affection, and lullabies.
She believed that if she did not love the child, she could leave someday.

---

Part 2 — The Abandoned Princess

As Stella grows up to a certain extent,
Isterina brings the child back to the palace.

But this was not a return; it was an abandonment.
Isterina disappears without a word, leaving the child in the palace.

> "Wait, Mother—"

Those words would never reach her.

Stella grows up with everything as a princess,
yet the fact that she was abandoned by her mother cannot be erased.
She learns to shut down her emotions early on.

---

Part 3 — Reuniting, But Too Late

As time passes,
Isterina reunites with the Emperor and takes her place as queen once more.
Both her relationship with the Emperor and the status of the Empire stabilize.

And she becomes determined.

> "Now… I want to be a mother."

Isterina tries to approach Stella,
but Stella has already built a solid wall.
Respectful words, formal etiquette, emotionless gazes.

Stella calls her queen,
but never once refers to her as mother.

---

Part 4 — Other Children, Deepening Wounds

Isterina subsequently gives birth to three more children.
The second, third, and fourth all call her **"mother."**
Isterina becomes the best mother she can be to them.

However, this only makes her relationship with Stella more miserable.

Even while sitting at the same table,
even living under the same sky,
Stella alone never comes into her arms.

> "Your Highness is a wonderful queen."

---

Part 5 — The Desperate Queen Seeking Affection

Isterina becomes increasingly miserable.
The dignity of being a queen remains, but
the place of being a mother is empty.

She becomes obsessed with trivial things.
Stella's well-being, tastes, wounds.
But Stella rejects even that.

Isterina realizes for the first time.

> The time spent turning away from the child
cannot be turned back with love.

---

Final Part — The Uncalled Name

Eventually, Isterina stands at a crossroads of choice.
Between the desire to be called mother and
the realization that she must respect her child's wounds.

Stella never ends up calling her mother.
But in the end, she says this.

> "I’m sorry. Your Majesty."
