I once stood in the snow for three days, begging Alexander Hayes to marry me. Back then, he said, "A princess? You were lucky to be born into royalty." Later, I went to the border for the common people and ended up helping him. When I stood in court receiving honors, he asked me with red-rimmed eyes if I could turn back. I touched the Starstone Pendant at my waist and smiled. "General Hayes, my heart now belongs to Everland." The world said I had gone mad, first for a man, then for the sake of the realm. Only Edward Pierce knew I was not mad. He taught me how to steady my sword hand. He showed me how to piece myself back together. And finally, my sword pointed toward something far greater.
