To cure my lingering illness, my fiancé Samuel went alone to the cliffside to gather a rare medicinal herb. He secured the cure, but fell to his death on his way back. Because he died for me, I begged my father to record his name in the Morgan family genealogy and bury him in our ancestral grounds. Only then did I learn the truth. Samuel had risked his life not out of devotion, but to earn permission to leave the Morgan family forever and run away with Aurora, his childhood love. Our five-year engagement had never erased her from his heart. The shock struck me just as I recovered, and rage consumed me until I died. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Samuel returned from the northern relief mission.
