It's been months since her death, his sanity was being questioned by everyone around him, they feared he'd go mad just like the previous prince.

He's always had this nagging feeling, that his wife is still alive, but at that time grief struck him like thunder.

That's when his search for his wife started, everyone regarded him as mad, but he knew there was someone out there that knew where his wife is and he won't fail to bring her back to his side.His Queen

"You burned my heart to a crisp and made me feel this sense of defeat..." It didn't matter if people believed him to be mad anymore, he'll prove to everyone that she's not dead.
