A princess once had a hero.
He was someone that could defeat monsters with just a simple slash, someone who conquered demon kingdoms to give to others, and someone who always persisted in any battle he participated. And a hero once saved a princess.
She was almost close from being a sacrifice from one of the most vile demons in the world, and there was nothing she could do besides cry and call for help.
But eventually, the hero came and rescued her. He saved the princess from the demons that was about to start a sacrifice, and they made it out safely. They now traveled together.
They returned from the fiery pits of the demon kingdom, and started another journey on the way back.
From there, the princess understood what true courage was all about. Watching the hero defeat the demons, all the while carrying the burden that was placed upon him not just by the people, but also her.
They became friends after that. The hero and the princess became friends through that situation. The kingdom where the princess grew up rejoiced and threw a very large party.
Their kingdom was praising the hero or his valiant efforts, and presented him many gifts of thanks.
However, when it was time to receive the gifts, the hero…
Just disappeared.
The hero was nowhere to be found. The princess couldn't find him anywhere. It was as if his whole existence was wiped out from the records of the book of life.
Time passed by and now the princess was a queen. She was now managing the kingdom where she grew. In all those times, she kept thinking about, and only, the hero that once saved her life.
Many years passed. Her kingdom was now in shambles, and she was in the brink of death. She didn't have a husband to be a king, nor did she have a child to inherit the throne.
But, like how the world always liked playing tricks with all the people, she was reincarnated as a normal girl in a normal kingdom. And there…
She was reunited with the hero. Her hero.
