Leiria had long admired the young duke, Anthem, and at last their long-awaited marriage became reality. Yet the life that followed was filled not with joy, but with loneliness and pain. Struggling to endure, Leiria eventually reached her breaking point and disappeared without a word. “...He never truly cared about me, did he?” With sorrow in her heart, she resolved to divorce him and began to walk a new path, determined and unyielding. Four years later, fate brings them together once again. Though Leiria avoids Anthem, unwilling to relive the grief of the past, he refuses to let her go. Bound by lingering ties neither of them can sever, the curtain rises on a tale of love, loss, and the impossible distance between two hearts.
