Memoir of Rati (จาฤกรติชา English version)

“Fate forces them to part, yet leads them to reunite.”

Whether it is destiny that brings them together, in the end, this conclusion is destined for them.

Phra Surathithamthanaphit is rumored to be someone who favors men. No matter which family's daughter tries to court him, they all end up disappointed.

"P' Chaem, don't call him that!"

"But that's what people are saying, sir."

"If what they say is true, wouldn’t people start thinking I’m his lover because of how close he is to me? Words can be dangerous, P' Chaem. You need to watch what you say."

The interpreter who comes with the diplomatic group speaks with urgency. If he truly has no interest in women, then why, after just arriving from France, has he been so attentive and caring toward him?

That probably is not affection…perhaps?


*******************


This is a BL novel set in the middle of the reign of Thailand's King Vajiravudh. I have tried to use language that aligns with that time period, referencing royal compositions by His Majesty King Vajiravudh. However, I have also adhered to modern language standards for smoother reading. Think of it as meeting halfway. If there are any unfamiliar terms, I will provide footnotes for clarification.

The content is entirely fictional. Some references to locations, origins, traditions, and cultures are included for aesthetic purposes and plausibility. Reader discretion is advised. I welcome your feedback, suggestions, and discussions with courtesy.


**Note**


Due to the era in which the story is set, there are elements of classism, discrimination, and the degradation of servants' dignity, as well as the romanticization of masters and the glorification of hierarchy. Please understand that these reflect the historical context. Personally, I still long for equality for all.
