Off the cusp of a family accident, she is drowning in regret, nightmares, and fear; all the while forced to slowly become the punching bag to her father's hand. Breaking free from her family ties with an invitation to a prestigious academy of majic, she cannot escape the haunting memories. Hiding behind a mask of smiles and optimism, she is clinging to her heartstrings by threads.

Yet he buries the debilitating guilt deep, for it is improper of a crown prince to show weakness.
