Evelyn's POV
He was always hard to reach and the only moments I got to see him was whenever I visited the palace.
Just like any other princess, I was constrained in the palace, barely knowing what was going on, on the outside.
I needed to be perfect for whoever I'd be betrothed to. We first met on the first day I escaped the palace.
I intended to take a swim in a brook, but I was bad at it and ended up almost drowning. My past life flashes before me, the harsh waves pull me down, and I felt I'd breathed my last.
But I saw him, his face radiating into the plain water, his hair spread, his arms pushing against the hard current just to get me.
My eyes were opened, observing everything before I went numb.
The next time I opened those eyes, I saw him kissing me, my lips dissolved in his.
