And on the other side of the world, there lived a thief, who was very poor... one day, this thief sneaked into the golden palace to steal, but accidentally met this princess...No one has ever understood the princess like the thief... he understood all her sorrow, he comforted her, healing the scars of her heart bit by bit... Her gentleness also soothed the thief. They fell in love... So deeply...But they could never be together, because they knew nobody will ever approve of a marriage between them, and the princess couldn't leave her family and friends back in the palace...The thief didn't want the princess to sacrifice everything for him, because he regretted the path he chose... though it was too late to turn back... So one night... he led the princess to a beautiful river , the river was the Lethe... river of forgetfulness... after drinking this water, the princess forgot everything at once... including this person who she once deeply loved...But after a few years, the princess found a prince who loved her very much... and they lived happily ever after...and the princess never saw the thief again...
