A person's life may bloom like a garden in spring, or wither like a fallen leaf.
Perhaps, looking back at the end of life, the regrets and missed chances from long ago will seem like passing clouds, faint and vanished.
But his life...
Destined to be alone, doomed to part from the ones he loves, and burdened with pain throughout his life.
The one beautiful thing was the longing he felt as a boy.
“To hold your hand and travel across the lands in their golden age.”
Alas... his fate was full of hardship.
He could control other people's lives and deaths, but he could not control the ups and downs of his own life.
But even if fate had already been decided,
he would still take up his brush and draw a plan, for her and for them, a plan as complete as he could make it.
Before she was fourteen, to her, the nation and the world meant no more than a courtyard, two or three loved ones, and cheerful conversation.
If not for a sudden rebellion, she would have lived forever in a little world full of care and affection.
The world is always like this: the more beautiful something is, the more easily it attracts evil.
And so happiness that comes too easily, without hardship or trial, can be shattered into pieces in an instant.
A life of brilliant adventures is destined to include meeting, understanding, and helping one another become whole.
For their own reasons and purposes, they will eventually join hands and work side by side, brush in hand, turning the tides and rewriting the treacherous story of this prosperous land.
Theme: The bonds between men and women are sometimes more than romantic love. There are also stories in which trust allows people to support each other and ultimately help one another succeed.
