In the powerful kingdom of Kankai, there once stood a princess, a girl of ice and pride, destined to rule with grace and power. But fate had other plans. For Princess Sakura, the Ice Princess of Kankai, was now forbidden and soon to be forgotten.Everything changed in the blink of an eye. Once revered for her beauty and lineage, she was stripped of her royal status, cast down from her throne to live among the commoners and mere villagers. What had once been a life of luxury quickly turned into hardship and tears. Her kingdom abandoned her, and those outside the palace walls saw only a girl who had been discarded, bullied, belittled, and shamed.With the weight of her disownment heavy on her shoulders, Sakura could no longer endure the life forcefully thrown upon her.Fleeing from the walls of her birthright and the kingdom she called hers.She sought refuge on the outskirts of Kankai, which was a forest, where survival was a daily struggle. Hunger became a constant companion, and the days blurred together in a cycle of scarcity. Yet, in the quiet of the forest, she found solace, a pair of deer, gentle and curious, who seemed to recognize her pain. They followed her wherever she wandered, offering the only comfort she had left in a world that no longer valued her.Having hope now was useless. The crown she had once longed for, the kingdom she had once called home, faded into memories she could no longer reach. Every effort to reclaim her place had been futilewmd dry, With each passing day, the dream of being a princess again grew fainter, blurry and farther. Sakura eventually gave up the fight.Years passed. Rumors spread, some whispered that she had died in the forest, others said that she had vanished without a trace. At 27, Sakura had become little more than a shadow. not like the vibrant girl she once was. Thin, fragile, and clinging to life in the wilderness, she barely had the strength to fend for herself.Even if a mosquito was to one and bite her, she knew she couldn't even fight it... She was as weak as a feather.One night, King Calyx of the neighboring Flax Kingdom arrived at a grand ball in Kankai. The fire king of great prestige, well known even to the animals.His journey brought him through the vast forests, and as he ventured deeper into the shadows, he stumbled upon a figure lying still in the underbrush... a girl, lifeless?Without hesitation, King Calyx bent down, his eyes scanning the frail body. Was she truly beyond saving? Just as he was about to turn away, he noticed something strange. Suddenly, the air around her began to ripple, her form seemed to dissolve before his very eyes, as if vanishing into the night.What had once been solid now seemed to shimmer, like frost melting under the warmth of unseen forces. Was she a ghost, a vision from the past? Or was something far more powerful?
