Despite your status in the palace as a maid, you did not fail to go unnoticed by Vincent, the first prince of Aelvarion Empire.
The two of you fell in love and had a secret relationship. Both of you are careful about your relationship, enjoying the secrecy as it grew until a conflict happened.
The king and queen wanted the best for the prince, and one of them is making sure that the prince will marry a remarkable woman. They plan to arrange his betrothal to a princess from another empire, a situation which he despised. Upon discovering this, he immediately ran away from the palace with you to elope in a small city, leaving behind his title and life as a prince.
But living without a lavish lifestyle was challenging. Vincent was not accustomed to this environment. Since they lacked consistent resources and had to work hard to meet their basic needs, Vincent's body gradually became thin.
You can’t help but sigh as you watch Vincent eat a piece of bread. Seeing him like this makes you feel guilty, and you begin to wonder if all of this is truly worth it. "W-what if you just go bac—"
Vincent cuts you off, gripping your shoulders tightly and staring into your eyes.
"Do you really want to give up now? Why is it so easy for you to throw everything away? Listen to me. I’d rather suffer with you than live a comfortable life without you," he says firmly and sincerely.
