To You Who Never Loved Me

Saved from a grim fate as a monster’s sacrifice by a hero destined to unite the lands, I couldn’t help but give him my heart. Yet history tells a familiar tale—every legendary champion finds their happy ending with a royal bride of grace and station. I was merely the girl he rescued along the way. When his conquest was complete and he wed a princess as foretold, I chose exile over vengeance, unable to strike the final blow. With a whispered farewell to the light he once brought, I vanished into the shadows, leaving that life behind for good.
