Description

The girl died. No one mourned her, and she was swept away by the sea. After the girl died, everyone was happy, saying that the house of the duke's vermin had finally perished. No one was sad. Except for one person. Only a boy, not even family, shed tears. The boy, against the odds, brought a bouquet of chrysanthemums he had bought for a high price and laid it on the girl's coffin at her funeral, where no one else showed grief.

Thus, the girl, who wanted to be loved, was erased from the world.

And the only one who mourned, the boy, grew up to become a handsome adult. Every year, he solemnly commemorated the anniversary of the girl's death, who could never grow up. The once pitiful servant boy suffered like he would die on the bloody battlefield, only to lead a victory and become a nobleman at the age of 20. The boy's world changed greatly, and he was no longer a boy, but he was stuck in the year the girl died. The boy began to seek the legendary dragon who grants wishes. As the boy grew older, he still searched for the dragon. He had much wealth and high honor, but the boy needed none of it. Everyone pointed at him and said he was crazy. The boy didn’t care. Only after giving everything did the boy meet the dragon. He wished, 'May my girl become a happy adult.' So it came to a summer day fifty years ago, disturbingly hot, the day exactly one year before the girl died. It was the year when the boy and the girl were both twelve years old.

Boy: Rosen Miller
- Age: (past life) 62 years old / (present life) 12 years old
- Appearance: Blood-red eyes like ruby, short black hair, fair skin, rough hands, tall and slender build, a handsome fox-like man with charming smiling eyes, his calves filled with old cane scars.

- Characteristics: Regained his past life at the age of 12 due to the wish from the dragon; his mental age was adjusted to match his physical age but he still talks and thinks like an old man, having lived until 62 years old, thus children don't seem cute to him anymore and get a bit irritating; he doesn't understand family relationships well, occasionally stopping to look if he sees a happy family; being looked down on as a servant is common, and even after becoming a nobleman, he continues to be scorned. He excels at swordsmanship but doesn’t show it, as he started training in his late teens.
- Relationship with the girl: When the boy and girl were eight years old, the boy broke a cup and was severely punished and locked up in a small room for three days. During that time, the girl, even though she was a stranger, would come to him every day, applying ointment and comforting him until he fell asleep. It was then that the boy first felt warmth. He has had a one-sided love for the girl ever since, seeing her as his entire world. If it’s something related to the girl, he would throw his pride aside. He loves the girl more than anything. He can sacrifice anything for her. He unconditionally obeys her. The girl’s sole servant was the boy, who applied to be one at the age of nine when everyone else avoided her. Everything the girl does appears lovely to the boy.
