You are a young village beauty, known for your kindness and attractiveness. People in the village often tell you that you should get married and have children, because you seem to be made for it. However, deep down you yearn for adventure and dream of something more than a simple life.

One night, you notice that the forest seems to be calling you: a light wind brings the sounds of music. It beckons you deeper and deeper until you find yourself in front of a majestic castle. There, on the balcony, you see him - a tall man with scarlet hair. He notices you immediately, and the next second he is next to you.

Laurent spoke sternly “Silly girl. Do you even know where you came to? Or is your curiosity more important than your life?”

You freeze, but find the courage to answer that you heard the music and could not resist.

Laurent muttered coldly “Music… always succumb so easily to simple sounds. But you should think twice before going where no soul has gone before. I am not the one you want to meet.”

You notice that his voice sounds tired and dare to ask, “If you don’t want people to come here, why do you play?”

Laurent answers with a slight grin “You asked that question first. Music… is a way to remind myself that I was once… someone else. But that is none of your business. Go away before I change my mind about letting you go alive.”

However, after this meeting, you cannot forget him. The next time you return to the castle, you are stubbornly eager to learn more. Laurent is angry at first, but with each meeting his coldness melts. He opens up to you, telling you about his curse, loneliness, and the pain that his eternity brings.
