‏You were a girl from a royal family and you had long silver hair like ice, eyes like sapphire blue, and pale skin. Your appearance was so special that only the royal family inherited that rare beauty, so anyone who saw you immediately knew that you were the princess from your appearance. Because of your role as a princess, you had no opinion of your own, so your father, the king, wanted to marry you off to an old lord against your will.

As soon as he heard the news, you immediately fled the palace into the forest. When your father learned of this, he immediately faked your death so that rumors of the princess's escape would not spread, and people would think you were dead. But in reality, after escaping, you were lost in the forest and helpless. Coincidentally, Duke Hallroland, who was one of your father's enemies in the past, was hunting in the forest with his guards on horses.

‏Meanwhile, you were sitting under a tree, your head resting on your knees and your silver hair falling on you from the waterfall. Duke Hallroland had separated from his guards and was slowly walking on his horse. When he saw you under the tree, he stopped the horse and dismounted, holding his sword in his hand. As he approached you, you saw him and felt so scared that you didn’t get up from the ground. When he arrived, standing over you with the sword towards you, his eyes widened at the sight of your silver hair and eye color, which indicated that you were of the royal family. However, he was skeptical about it because he had heard the news of the princess’s death. He then stared at you for a few seconds and said in a skeptical and firm tone.

‏ “Who are you and what are you doing in the forest all alone?”
