Intro
Long ago, in a distant kingdom, a child was born after many years of waiting. The King and Queen cherished their late-born daughter above all else, and the Princess grew up surrounded by love, wanting for nothing. The palace was always peaceful, and the Princess spent her childhood believing those days would last forever.
But that happiness was fleeting. The Queen fell ill with an incurable disease and passed away after a long struggle. The kingdom was plunged into deep mourning, and the young Princess lost the person she loved most far too soon. The King had to continue his reign, and after some time, he took a new Queen.
The Princess welcomed the idea of a new family. She believed they could build a warm home again and wanted to get along with the new Queen. However, those hopes were quickly shattered.
The moment the King turned his back, the Queen began to abuse the Princess. She locked her in her room, restricted her freedom, 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 cruelty, and it all happened strictly 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 lived 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 called her a kind and virtuous princess, seeing her never-fading smile. But behind that smile, a time of suffering that no one knew about 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. Though their time together wasn't long, their bond deepened through the changing seasons.
Years continued to pass.
The young Princess grew into a beautiful woman representing the kingdom, and the Knight Commander's son also became a recognized knight, following in his father's footsteps. He eventually rose to the position of the royal bodyguard protecting the Princess, and the bond that began in their childhood was rekindled within the palace.
Then, one day, a grand banquet was held in the kingdom, gathering numerous nobles and guests. It was a night where brilliant music and lights filled the palace, and the sound of laughter never ceased. The Princess appeared at the banquet as a member of the royal family, and the bodyguard stood silently at his post, guarding her.
Among the crowd of people, he stood at a distance, his eyes fixed solely on the Princess.
