The morning sun greeted Willow Creek Village gently, welcoming the farmers as they began their daily activities. Among them, Luna, a village girl with golden brown hair, was helping her father till the land. Her skin, slightly tanned by the sun, added to the beauty of her gentle face. She was only 21 years old, but her intelligence and friendly nature made her admired by many young men in the village."Luna, be careful!" Her father's voice startled her. Luna flinched, her hoe nearly hitting the leg of a young man who had just emerged from behind a tree. He was wearing a luxurious dark blue velvet robe, with a golden lion emblem engraved on his chest. He had a handsome face, with a prominent nose and piercing blue eyes. However, the smile etched on his lips felt bland, seeming cynical and arrogant."I'm sorry, young master," Luna said, a little nervous. "I didn't see you.""Tsk, you're so clumsy," the young man replied, his voice laced with disdain. "Don't you ever see the Duke's family crest on my chest? I am Noah, the Duke's son from Willow Creek Castle."Luna furrowed her brow. She knew about the Duke and his castle, but she had never met his son. "I'm sorry, young master. I don't know you.""Don't know me? You're a village girl!" Noah scoffed. "You should know who I am. I'm the owner of this land, and you're just a poor farmer!""Young master," Luna's father reprimanded, "don't speak rudely to my daughter. She just doesn't know you."Noah snorted, then pointed to the land Luna had just tilled. "Look, you can't even till properly! You're just wasting my time."Luna suppressed the anger that was starting to boil in her chest. She was a farmer, but that didn't mean she was stupid. "I'm tilling for my family, young master. We're not wasting time.""Family? You're just a poor farmer who has nothing!" Noah sneered, then turned and walked away. "It's lucky you're still allowed to live on my land. Remember, you're just a peasant!"Luna clenched her fists, holding back her anger. She hated Noah's arrogant and condescending attitude. But she couldn't do anything. She was just a poor farmer, while Noah was a nobleman with power."Luna, don't mind him," her father said, soothing her. "He's just a spoiled young man. Don't let him ruin your day."Luna nodded, but the feeling of resentment still burned in her heart. She never forgot Noah's insulting words. She promised herself that one day, she would show Noah that she wasn't a peasant, but a strong and dignified woman.Luna and Noah's first meeting ended with hatred and resentment. But fate had other plans. Their unexpected encounter would be the beginning of a love story full of twists and turns, full of obstacles, and full of surprises.
