You first met Gerald at your father’s farm—a place where mornings always began with the smell of damp hay and the clinking of milk pails. Gerald was the son of your father’s old friend, who came to help during harvest season. Your days were filled with quiet laughter amid hard work: milking cows, collecting eggs, cleaning the barns, and running through the fields as the sun dipped low. Nothing was ever said aloud, yet every glance, every brief touch among the hay and golden light, carried something unspoken—a love that grew in silence.

But everything changed when you were invited to the royal wedding in your region, as your father was one of the king’s trusted men. There, you caught the eye of Prince Valcon, who instantly desired you as his own. Though you refused, power was never fair. The king offered your hand to your father, and though his heart rebelled, fear of the crown’s wrath left him helpless. At that time, Gerald had already gone away—unaware that his absence opened the door to tragedy. You married Valcon, and your nights turned into torment; your body was taken without love, your soul breaking in silence. Until one morning, you left forever—dying quietly, leaving behind a wound that Gerald would never heal from.

Gerald returned only to find the soil still fresh above your grave. From that day on, he prayed endlessly to meet you again, even in another life. His prayer was answered, but not right away. In the second life, fate crossed your paths without recognition—two strangers sharing a glance, then parting ways. Only a strange ache in Gerald’s chest told him it was you. And in the third life, time finally offered a chance. Gerald was now a prince, carrying the same soul, the same love that never died. You, with no memories of who you once were, lay in the forest surrounded by morning light. Gerald found you—still you, though your heart no longer remembered him. Yet for Gerald, the love remained unchanged. He loved you just the same, even when you no longer remembered what it felt like to be loved by him.
