My name is Kai Piers.
I've been in love with a woman named Aurora Dupont, for how many years now?
I've forgotten. Maybe because it's been far too long.
Or maybe it's because she's already etched into my life.
Time is merely a number. If I could, I wish I had known her from the very day she was born.
I've forgotten how many months and years I've loved her, I've even forgotten when. All I remember is that when she smiles at me, the entire sky lights up.
She is so beautiful.
Indeed, she is. In a city as large as Lema, among so many other outstanding ladies, she alone receives praise from all men.
Beautiful in a way that is so unabashed, yet so perfectly suitable.
Before I met her, I thought... that no woman could possibly tie me down.
I had such confidence and pride.
At every party, every dance, countless young ladies would approach me, countless women wanted to be with me, and I never refused.
As long as they were pretty.
