Alice, the king's eldest daughter, loved knight Adrian. In her past life, she forced him from her sister, married him. Her sister died in exile, war came, the capital fell. Adrian died protecting Alice, whispering he wished he could be with her sister. Alice jumped. Reborn on engagement day, she let go of her obsession and volunteered to go north in her sister's place to stop the war. Adrian thought she was scheming, defended her sister, and accused Alice. Alara played innocent and set her up. Alice cut ties, went north alone, and found someone who truly loved her. Adrian lifted the veil in the cathedral — and found Alara. Only then did he realize he had loved Alice all along. Regret consumed him. But Alice had already moved on.
