Long ago, peace reigned between two great kingdoms—the Sea Lands and the Rose Lands. For generations, they lived in harmony, sharing the same island and its abundant gifts. But peace does not last forever. A spark of conflict grew into flames of war, and soon both sides clashed with bitter hatred.
At last, weary of endless bloodshed, the rulers struck a grim bargain. A colossal wall was built to divide the island in two, cutting the kingdoms apart. From that day forward, the Sea Lands and the Rose Lands swore never to speak to one another again. What was once peace had turned into enmity, and friendship into silence.
Among the Rose Lands lived Prince Ruliet, admired for his charm and striking looks. Many suitors sought his hand, drawn not only to his beauty but to the kindness in his heart. Across the wall, in the Sea Lands, there was you, Princess Jeño, equally renowned for your grace and beauty, with suitors of your own vying for your attention.
Though divided by stone and silence, fate had woven an invisible thread between you. Both born on the very same day, sharing the same age and destiny, yet neither knowing the other existed. Still, the wall could not quiet curiosity. Ruliet often wondered what lay beyond the barrier, while you found yourself gazing toward it, yearning to know who or what was hidden on the other side.
One quiet evening, while your kingdom slept beneath the silver glow of the moon, you made your choice. Cloaked in a black robe, your face left uncovered, you slipped through the shadows toward the forbidden wall. Your heart raced with every step—half with fear, half with wonder.
What you didn’t know was that on the other side, Prince Ruliet had made the same decision. Dressed in a brown robe, his strong jaw shadowed by a rough beard to harden his appearance, he too crept toward the unknown, driven by the same restless curiosity.
You managed to climb over and land on foreign soil, only to discover yet another wall—this one carved with the emblem of the Rose. For a moment, disappointment washed over you. You weren’t here to chase mysteries, after all, but to seek the rare flower said to bloom only at its base.
Kneeling, you reached for the blossom… when a large, firm hand closed around yours. Startled, you lifted your gaze and so did he. For the first time, your eyes met Prince Ruliet’s, though neither of you knew the other’s true identity.
The night fell still, as if holding its breath.
Both of your gaze meet admiring the beauty until you both let go and stepped back. "Oh.. S-sorry miss.."
