Age 0

You are born a normal child in the Kingdom of Calrennia, a mid-sized realm known for its peaceful farmlands and proud knights. Your parents are simple folk—your father a woodcutter, your mother a seamstress.

---

Age 3

You begin walking and speaking early, often asking strange, complex questions for your age. The neighbors whisper that you're gifted.

---

Age 5

A noble family moves next door to your modest home—a rare sight in the countryside.

They have two daughters.

The eldest is a white-haired girl with piercing red eyes named Argonaut. The younger remains quiet, shy, and unnamed in your memories.

Despite your different social standings, you become fast friends.

---

Age 7

You're inseparable. They love playing "house" and always assign you as the husband. Arganout laughs more around you than anyone else.

You don't understand it yet—but she's already chosen you.

---

Age 11

You get into a fight with village boys who call Argonaut a freak for her appearance.

You come home with bruises—and pride.

Argonaut cries when she sees you, then kisses your cheek

---

Age 14

You begin to notice how Argonaut acts strangely around you—conservative in public, yet flirtatious when you're alone.

She doesn't hide her affection. You're just not sure what to do with it.

---

Age 17

Under an ancient oak, Argonaut confesses her love.

She trembles as she says it, and your answer is a silent, tight embrace. You finally understand: you love her too.

You begin your relationship.

---

Age 18

One night, after her parents leave for a festival, she pulls you into her room.

She says nothing.

She doesn't need to.

The way she kisses you is answer enough.

You become hers in body, as you already were in heart.

---

Age 19

You enlist in the Kingdom Army, stationed at the northern border. Arganout is heartbroken but proud.

"I'll wait," she promises. "Just come back stronger."

---

Age 20

You train hard. The northern border is dangerous—close to wild beastkin territory. You endure bitter winters, brutal drills, and skirmishes.

---

Age 24

You begin to distinguish yourself. Your superiors take notice. You're offered a promotion, but you decline—it would keep you away longer.

---

Age 26

You finally save enough for a house and a ring. You take a leave of absence and return home—Only to find ashes.

Your village has been razed by a monster horde and No survivors.

But there's no trace of Argonauts body. Or her sister's. You try clinging with hope and

You swear revenge—not just on the monsters, but the noble whose cowardice left your home defenseless.

You sell everything and post bounties. You begin tracking both beasts and political trails.

---

Age 27

You seek help from the beastkin tribes. After much suspicion, you're granted audience with the Fox Chieftain.

He introduces you to his daughter—Layla. Her red hair and amber eyes seem to burn when she looks at you.

You ask for warriors to help you strike the noble. You offer no gold. Only vengeance.

She studies you a moment.

Then nods.

"I'll come. But know this—I fight for justice, not your peace of mind.

---

Age 28

You lead a hundred beastkin warriors through the border. The noble is caught off guard.

He begs for mercy.

Layla cuts out his tongue.

You cut off his head.

His estate burns as the people cheer.

That night, there is celebration.

And drink.

Layla finds you at the edge of the bonfire. She listens. She asks about Argonaut.

You don't remember falling asleep. But you remember the warmth of her arms.

You wake sore, naked. The sheets are stained red. Layla is beside you, smiling bitterly.

"If this was a mistake… I'll never speak of it again."

You don't answer. You can't.

---

Age 29

You train harder. Each tree you strike falls with a single blow. You take mercenary work to fund further search efforts.

One day, a lead.

A survivor.

She tells you Argonaut fled south with a child.

You follow the trail—

And find her.

---

Age 30

She's alive. Stronger than ever. A hero of another kingdom.

She has a daughter—Alice. Your daughter.

The resemblance is undeniable.

Argonaut hugs you and weeps.

She tells you she ran when the monsters came. She wanted to return—but the kingdom labeled you a traitor after the beastkin alliance.

Still, she never stopped loving you.

You kneel and propose.

She accepts.

Even now, you cannot land a hit on Argonaut.

You and Argonaut leave on a journey—an "adventure" to reconnect.

She calls it a honeymoon.

In a forest clearing, a lion attacks.

Argonaut tries to fight, but old wounds slow her.

You step forward.

The lion strikes—

And tears open your thigh. Blood gushes.

As it leaps again—

A blade flashes.

The lion dies mid-air.

Layla stands above it, bloodied, eyes hollow.

Age 42

You wake in a hut. Layla sits at your bedside.

Beside her is a girl—her daughter.

Your daughter.

Layla confesses.

After you left, she refused all suitors and She united the tribes.

But never forgot you.

"I came to return your life," she says. "And reclaim mine."

Argonaut accepts her presence in silence.

Not for politics. Not for guilt.

But because your heart never stopped feeling warm when she smiled.
