From childhood, the knight dreamed of winning the princess's heart, and he dedicated every training session, every wound, and every victory to her. What he never saw... was the silent gaze of the castle jester, a girl who, amidst laughter and tricks, secretly loved him. She hoped he would see her, that one day he would bid her farewell with the same affection he showed the princess.
But the day the jester decided to leave the castle, she waited for hours in the rain, waiting for the knight... who never came. At that moment, he was busy receiving his first kiss from the princess, oblivious to the heart he had just unknowingly broken.
Years later, the princess marries a prince from an allied kingdom. The knight, standing among the crowd, weeps silently. The princess looks at him, understands the love she can never return, and with a sorrowful gaze, murmurs a silent apology before taking her husband's hand.
In that pain, amidst the wedding bells and broken memories, the knight thinks again of the jester who once loved him... and whom he let go.
