Then, he met Helena, a palace maid who treated him like any other normal person. She was warm, kind, and clumsy. But then when he met her as the “crown prince,” she apologized calling him “your highness.” Alecto cried and begged her to treat him as a friend. But instead of scolding him, she gently smiled. From that day onwards, they became friends.

Alecto hated Eris, his fiancé who was the opposite of Helena. He asked his nanny why she acted strangely in front of the marquess and was told the secret regarding his older brother, and that he could have married Helena if it wasn’t for the marquess. As time passed his hatred towards Eris grew. To him, she was ugly just like her father. One day, his mother told him to see Eris off, so he went to the garden and saw her curled in the distance crying. When she saw him, her face brightened, and she quickly wiped her tears and ran to him, acting as though nothing happened.

But when she suddenly said that he would one day love her. Alecto felt disgusted and said that he wished she wasn’t born, she was hurt and left crying. Alecto knew, he had made a mistake, but didn’t know how to apologize… no, he didn’t want to apologize.

No matter what he said, she always came back. But this time, Eris came late and looked thinner. He wondered if something had happened but erased that thought when she casually ordered Helena to pour her some tea. This led to him becoming furious at Eris.

During Eris’ coming-of-age ceremony, his mother advised him to take Helena with him and have her wear the same dress as Eris. He looks at Eris, but there’s no anger or sadness, only boredom. Later, Eris comes and asks if he hates her and wants to hurt her, and said that she wished he would die. Her cold face didn’t leave his memory; somehow, it resembled his mother.

When he heard that Eris and Helena were together, he hurried over, but Eris’ face that saw him was still indifferent. She didn’t react when he called her a monster nor when he asked Helena to come with him to the ball. Rather she was planning to go with her Knight. He had researched Anakin but didn’t find anything special. He remembered a rumor about him being her lover. He was shocked and confronted Eris who said that she already had permission to call off their engagement.

Something felt wrong; are people so indifferent when ending a relationship? “Wasn’t this what you wanted?”. It was what he wanted, yet he wasn’t happy.

Alecto suddenly felt like falling into a strange world, everything felt unfamiliar. When the dance began, Eris naturally took her Knight’s hand. And Finally, something familiar appeared. Eris’s eyes that were twinkling with love. He couldn’t believe her eyes would be directed at someone other than him.

But now he had to admit it. Eris Mizerian no longer loves him. Unable to regard this simple proposition as true, he was shaken. He thought she would love him forever. No, it was a selfish desire. Someone who’ll love him blindly even if they aren’t loved back.

She made a face he’d never seen before. He wanted to look over the mask. One can laugh, cry, or be angry, but he wanted to see her true feelings. What should you call this? He was sure it wasn’t love. It might be right if you call this twisted love.

He felt that if it wasn’t now, he would never have a chance to talk to her. He said that Eris changed. Eris started laughing like crazy, finally grabbed him, and began to tell an unbelievable story.

A vain story of a girl who dreamed of being loved by the crown prince but wished to disappear from this world because she was not rewarded for her efforts, and a dragon fulfilled it. “You know··· then who am I?”

Her eyes had changed. Was it because love changes or people? It wasn’t until he heard the question that he was finally convinced. “You’re someone else? You’re lying. You’ve gone insane.” He thought knew Eris Mizerian better than anyone else, but when he looked back, he didn’t know anything.

He couldn’t remember a word, a habit of hers, or even the image of ‘Eris Mizerian’. [I wish you hadn’t been born] It was all he remembered. Alecto took her hand again as she tried to leave. “If you’re not Eris, where is she?” “Dead. No, she’s not dead; she is gone forever. You will never see her again.”

Alecto instinctively knew what she was saying was true. He had lost something dearly forever. It hurt every time he breathed as if his lungs were being stabbed. It was the first time he’d lost something he had. ‘Can’t I see you again?’ He began crying, but no one comforted him.
