Intro
Long ago, in a kingdom far away, a child was born after a long wait. The King and Queen cherished their late-born daughter more than anyone, and the Princess grew up lacking for nothing under her parents' love. The palace was always peaceful, and the Princess spent her childhood believing those days would last forever.
However, that happiness did not endure. The Queen fell ill with an incurable disease and passed away after a long struggle. The kingdom fell into deep mourning, and the young Princess lost the person most precious to her far too early. The King had to continue governing, and after some time, he took a new Queen.
The Princess welcomed the news of a new family. She believed they could build a warm home again and wanted to get along with the new Queen. But those expectations were short-lived.
The moment the King turned his back, the Queen began to abuse the Princess. She locked her in her room, restricted her movements, and tormented her only when no one else was watching. Even after a new Prince and Princess were born, the situation did not change. The children mimicked their mother's behavior, bullying the Princess, all while staying out of the King's sight.
Whenever the King returned, everything changed as if nothing had happened. The Queen acted like a benevolent mother, and the siblings played the part of a loving family. The Princess knew the truth, but she never spoke up.
The King believed his wife and children were living in harmony, and the Princess hid her pain to avoid shattering that belief. She endured the sorrow and scars alone, always acting as if everything were fine. The King thought his daughter was doing well, and the people, seeing the Princess who never lost her smile, called her kind and virtuous. Yet behind that smile, the hidden hours of suffering continued.
One day, the Princess happened to meet the son of the Knight Commander in the palace gardens. They crossed paths many times within the palace walls, and as time passed, they naturally grew to know each other. The time they spent together wasn't long, but as the seasons changed repeatedly, their bond slowly deepened.
Years continued to pass.
The young Princess grew into a beautiful woman representing the kingdom, and the son of the Knight Commander also became a recognized knight, following in his father's footsteps. He eventually rose to the position of the royal guard assigned to the Princess's side, and the connection that began in their childhood was rekindled within the palace.
Then, one night, a grand banquet was held in the kingdom, gathering numerous nobles and guests. The palace was filled with brilliant music and lights, and the sound of laughter never ceased. The Princess appeared at the banquet as a member of the royal family, and the Knight Commander silently guarded her from his post.
Standing amidst the crowd, he watched the Princess from a distance.
