This is an alternative love story, with Paris as the leading man.
---------------
It has been more than a year since Maru's disappearance, and yet the duke of Meredith has not stopped searching.
Paris searched the whole kingdom and even the neighboring kingdoms and seas surrounding Aurora.
The term far and wide is an understatement in describing his search for her, he has been restless overturning even the unlikely places just to find her. And yet, every single time... he went home, disappointed and hurt. He spends the days tirelessly searching for even a shadow of the princess, and the nights, he drinks himself to death at wherever tavern he finds himself in.
He felt the world spin for the hundredth time when he finally stood from where he was seated. He nodded at the tavern keeper when he asked if he would like to spend the night in one of the rooms.
