"Yes, I will be sad and want to cry, but I don't want to be that kind of person. She was sitting under the windowsill at that time, and it was as if the light was shining on her."
"From that moment on, I fell in love with her."
"I pursued her fervently, confessed my love to her, and wanted her to promise, but she didn't agree to me."
"I was puzzled and asked why. She said she didn't want to marry a playboy. I told her that I loved her more than anything else."
"But she still rejected me. I asked again why. She said that even if I truly loved her, it wouldn't work because people change, especially a noble child like me who relies on my family."
"Everything I have comes from my family. I don't have any special abilities. If I force myself into a marriage, the elders and relatives will gossip and interfere constantly, and I won't be able to refute or avoid being affected by them.

"So, she resolutely married me, a scoundrel in the eyes of outsiders, and lied that she was pregnant, forcing her parents to agree. Because other nobles wouldn't marry me if I wasn't a virgin."
"After she gave birth to a daughter, her health deteriorated significantly, and she passed away a few years later. Later, my brothers were framed in a fight over the family fortune, and I had to move far away, temporarily leaving Elaine in the care of a friend."
"What happened next was nothing. The bastard got lucky and made some money. He was about to take his daughter to live with him again, and then this farce came to an abrupt end on his way home."
