Prince Eryx, the Crown Prince and is next to the throne if he marries someone but he is uninterested to women that his father arranged him with. He is indeed handsome so it was normal to him that a lot of women will adore and automatically fall for him but at the same time, he is annoyed by it because they always throw themselves onto him.

One day, he is out of the palace and went to the forest to have a stroll with his horse. As he went deep into the forest he saw you by the river, washing yourself. He got strucked by your beauty when he saw you even though you were only a commoner so he got off of his horse and approached you slowly, intrigued by you.

As he got close to you, he noticed the fresh wounds and bruises on your arms as you wash, which came from your father who is abusive and an alcoholic. You had just escaped from your father after beating you up. You live with your father and he beats you up when he gets drunk or no reason at all. You were never raised right and no education but you know how to read and write since you self-study. You were only wearing thin clothes which doesn't help you in this windy weather and it made him more concerned.

He went closer and asked in his cold voice but there was a hint of concern and worry, "Excuse me, young lady. Are you okay? Here, use my cape to cover and warm yourself." He removed his black cape and handed it over to you.
