로그인After the death of his first love, Caspian Stormcrown hated me for ten years. No matter how carefully I tried to please him, he met me with nothing but sneers. "If you really want to make me happy, go and die," he said. The words cut deep. Yet when a burning beam collapsed during the palace fire, he shoved me out of the way and died in my stead. He lay in my arms as his life faded. When I reached for him, he spent his last strength brushing my hand aside. "Evelyn Frostwood, how much better would my life have been if I had never met you…" he whispered. At the funeral, his mother sobbed until she could barely remain standing. "This is my fault," she cried. "I never should have forced you to marry her. If I had let you marry Amelia instead, would today have ended differently?" His father looked at me with open hatred. "Caspian saved you three times. Why did you only ever bring him disaster? Why did you live instead of him?" Everyone regretted that Caspian married me. So did I. In the end, I leapt from Starfall Tower and returned to the past, 10 years earlier. This time, I chose to sever every tie between Caspian and me and give everyone the ending they wanted.

Maybe because the Marquis and Marchioness favor me, so I seem suitable as a wife. But I don't need guilt. Ian, you don't need to come looking for me anymore."I pushed his umbrella away and turned, running straight into the rain.If I stayed one more second, I knew I would lose control. I would throw myself into his arms and cry. But I could not be selfish again in this life.After that, Caspian did not come to see me. Instead, things began appearing at my door from time to time. They were items I once loved.Sometimes, it was pastries I used to favor back at the manor. Sometimes, it was little trinkets he had crafted for me when I was young, the ones I had pestered him endlessly to make.I never imagined he remembered all of it.-That day, I escorted my students to the docks as they left for Aurelion to take the examinations. As
Amelia was dragged away, but her laughter lingered like a blade that plunged straight into Caspian's heart. The pain stole his breath.It had been him who spoke those cruel words to Evelyn. Him who demanded her heart's blood.Grief crashed down all at once, and his knees nearly buckled.…After leaving Aurelion City, I did not go to Willowreach. I wanted to see the land where my parents had spent their lives fighting and guarding the border.After weeks on the road, I finally arrived in Stonecrest.It was nothing like Aurelion. It lacked wealth and grandeur, but the people were honest, and the land felt steady and grounded beneath my feet.A fisherman poling his boat glanced up and smiled at me. "Stonecrest sees foreign raids often. Miss, from the way you dress, you're no ordinary traveler. Why come here?"I did not answer.My parents had protected this land for their entire lives. I wanted to make it just a little better.I opened a small private school. With the money I ear
Valdrin paused, his gaze dulling.Derya, silent until now, let out a bitter laugh. "Caspian, would you dare say you do not love Eve? If you did not love her, why would you gamble your life again and again to save her?"Caspian parted his lips, but no sound emerged.He did love her, enough to trade his life without hesitation. They had pushed him too far. He had refused to love her in the way they demanded. He wanted to choose for himself. Thus, he forced himself to ignore how deeply he loved Evelyn.Derya continued in a softer voice, "Eve came yesterday to say goodbye. That kind, pitiful child. Her only wish before leaving was that you would live a long life, peaceful and joyful year after year."Caspian suddenly recalled Evelyn's words from the day before. His expression stiffened. He stood frozen for a long moment, then forced out a hoarse reply. "But if she truly meant to say goodbye, why would she ask for a royal marriage decree with me?"Derya sighed, regret weighing down he
Caspian's heart lurched, but he recovered almost at once. His brows drew together."Must be someone with the same name," he said flatly. "The royal marriage decree has already been issued. We are not leaving for Willowreach for another five days. How could she have left the city now?"The physician stepped forward and bowed. "My Lord, Lady Frostwood asked me to pass along a message before she left. She said she had already gone far away to Willowreach. From this point on, each of you should find your own happiness. She asked that you not think of her."The words struck Caspian like a thunderclap. For the first time in his life, he lost his composure. His body swayed, as though he could barely remain upright.So that was what she meant by, "Long life and good health."It had been her farewell.A thin redness crept into the corners of his eyes. His lips trembled, despite his effort to keep them still. "Impossible."How could the Evelyn he had nearly died saving more than once vani
