But all of her hopes come crashing down when on the day she decides to confess he meets the love of his life. Now with a broken heart, Emma is forced to move on and find something else to fill the hole that he's unknowingly left behind. And what better way to do that than to go to the capital and become the kingdom's greatest herbalist?

"Who killed Sindara?" This question remains a mystery or rather a buried matter. David, out of an act of disobedience, does something regrettable that results in the death of his little sister. The case remains buried because there's no way a mother can expose the wrongdoings of her son. But the incident deposits demons in the depth of David's soul that feast on one thing-his sanity. Instinctively, David tries to fight back by building his walls-riches, fame, and beauty-walls that can momentarily shield his Achilles heel. However, he knows that these things are fleeting, so he looks for people he can get on his side. But there's one thing he doesn't understand-no one likes a mad man.
