The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 45 Princess and Rui's past

The princess opened her eyes and looked towards Rui.

"Romi, is this really you" he said with tears in his eyes.

The shocked Rui heard that became confused and tried to deny the princess's words.

"It looks like the princess is still not fully aware. I am Rui not Romi as the princess said" Rui said.

"No, I'm sure of my heart. Although your face and appearance are different, I know that your soul is Rui, my lover from his previous life"

Hearing this, Romi becomes convinced that the woman in front of him is Linda, a lover from his past. The person who had been the focus of his life as well as the person who instilled such a severe heart wound for him.

Rui was still speechless, still unexpectedly with the reality in front of her. His face was pale and could not think clearly. With Rui still in a state of confusion, the Princess woke up and held her cheek while crying.

"Finally, I finally found you. I'm really desperate you suddenly disappeared from my life. It's so painful to go through the days without you. Me, I really miss you" said the princess as she continued to cry happily meeting her lover.

This made Rui very shocked.

"Why...? why this could happen. Why can't I get away from this guy. Why...? do I have to be bound to him forever?" rui muttered in his heart.

But Rui recalled how her ex-lover once betrayed her. He quickly brushed the daughter's hand off her cheek.

"Sorry princess, you seem to have misunderstood. I am Rui, not a person the princess knows and this is the first time we have met. So please put it back in your memory that my name is Rui aubert, son of Julia barnet. Remember that and never say that name again in front of me" said Rui who held back feelings of uneasiness, sadness mixed with anger earlier.

The princess who heard the remark coming out from the person she loved so much made her speechless with a face of true shock.

"What do you mean by that Romi. You really forgot about me. Are you really throwing away everything about us. Why do you hate me so much, tell me what my fault is!" the princess shouted while crying back.

Rui who from earlier tried to hold back her feelings but it was all unstoppable to hear the words of the princess.

"Your fault...?. Only now do you ask what is your fault...?. You know what you're doing is completely unforgivable. I saw a man come out of your room at night, and I never even let you in"

The princess was shocked to hear Rui's words and fell silent. A princess thought that p

the man in front of her lost his past memories. But he became very relieved because Rui remembered him. But he did not imagine that his words his lover saw himself with hatred.

"You know how much I suffered when I saw it all happen in front of my eyes. How devastated I felt when you as the focus and encouragement of my life turned out to betray me behind my back. After I was in my family camp and my only hope was you, but you could do that to me" shouted Rui who really let go of all the suffering that had been lodged in her heart.

Hearing that the princess immediately fell silent and knelt down.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me. I didn't know you were there, I really didn't mean to lie to you. I'm really, really sorry. Please forgive me Romi. I can explain all that" he said with a cry.

"Sorry..?, after you took away my only dream and hope to move on with my life and now you're apologizing?" said Rui who began to shed her tears.

"You'd better get away from my life from now on, because to me you're really a nobody to me"

Hearing that, the princess was shocked and held onto Rui's leg to prevent her from leaving.

"Me, I'm really sorry. I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have hidden it from you. After your departure, I was completely destroyed, my life was empty. I just need you Rui, I beg you to forgive me, please do not say such a sad thing after I finally get to meet you again" he said with a soft cry.

Rui actually could not bear to see the person she used to love so much, who was always there for her to cry like that. He really did not intend to make the princess hurt or sad, but remembering what he had gone through blinded his love with his disappointment and resentment.

But the princess instead held tightly to Rui's feet to prevent her from leaving.

"Take me, do it if it makes you forgive me. If you try to stay away from me again, you better kill me now" said the princess.

Rui became startled and confused to hear the princess's words.

"Are you crazy, let go of me, don't test my patience" said Rui angrily.

But again the princess even hugged her feet tightly.

"Yes I'm crazy, is that a problem for you, and you should think why I'm this crazy. Do you also know how I lived my life after you left me without asking me for an explanation?"

"After I learned of your death, I felt like I had no purpose in life anymore. I've been crazy and frustrated for a long time. I even vowed not to get married and always prayed to see you again"

"So I beg you, don't tell me you don't need me and please don't try to stay away from me" Aziel's cry grew more and more sad.

Hearing the words of the princess whose life was completely filled with regret and hearing the suffering that had been passed also by her former lover, made Rui finally realize that it was not only her who suffered.

Then he dared to turn around and look back at Aziel's face properly. Looking at Aziel's pitiful face he knew that what the girl was saying was not a lie.

"I'm sorry. Forgive my selfishness, I always thought that I was the only one who suffered and did not think about your suffering either. To be honest, I'm just afraid to look you in the face, which makes me think back to our memories. I'm sorry I suddenly left without asking for an explanation from you. I'm sorry Linda" Rui said as she rubbed the elf princess's head.

Hearing the words from Rui, the elf princess cried and immediately hugged Rui.

"Huuuuuuhh.., Ak.I really miss you Romi, I miss you" said the princess.

Her elegant and beautiful face seemed to disappear due to her child-like cry.

"Yes - don't cry anymore. I miss you too Linda" said Rui as she returned the princess' embrace.

The three elves who had seen them, could only see and did not know what to do because of confusion. Who is Romi, who is linda, how the elf princess can know a human noble child, it really does not reach their brains.

After the elf princess calmed down, they immediately left the place and headed straight to the imperial palace to give excited tidings to the emperor and the elf king.

On the way home, the elves who saw the princess's behavior could only smile at their closeness. Rui who was embarrassed from being seen by them tried to make the princess let go of her embrace on her hand.

"Daughter, shouldn't you let me go now. Aren't you ashamed to see them like that" said Rui nervously.

"Why should they be ashamed, they are only happy to see two lovers who meet again" he said.

"Yes, sir, you don't have to feel bad for us. Let's just say we're just dead things coming with you" they smiled.

Rui only smiled bitterly hearing their words.

"Ahhh, how can it be like this, and how do I explain this to Karin and Ririna" Rui murmured in her heart that was in a state of unease.
