The story
On a battlefield's corpse-piles, a huntress named Edith finds the Crown Prince, Drake, gravely wounded and stripped of his memory. She fights off wild dogs beside him for scraps, and together they survive a brutal winter in the Northern March, where he learns to hunt and she tends his chilblained hands.
When Drake returns to the royal court, the King offers Edith any reward. A strange text only she can see warns that a common huntress who dreams of marrying the Prince is doomed to drink poison. So Edith asks only to be sent home to the Northern March, with a little money and a house. The King bids her wait a month to travel with the Border Legion, and the Lord Chamberlain promises a special gift on her departure.
But Lady Jasna, raised at court as the King's own daughter and once closest to Drake, accuses Edith of seducing her brother. When Edith pushes her away, Jasna falls and is cut by a stone. Drake arrives, sees only the wound, and turns on Edith, ordering her to apologize or leave his sight.
Opening
Later, when he returned to the royal court, the King asked me what reward I desired.
A line of text appeared before my eyes, visible only to me:
【Don’t tell me the side character is actually going to ask the Prince to marry her.】
【A common huntress from the countryside, daring to dream of marrying into the royal family? No wonder she ends up being forced to drink poison.】
