When a cheerful girl with a bruised heart escapes to the countryside hoping to forget her first love's betrayal, she overhears something that stings—a careless dismissal that calls her plain and forgettable. But here's where it gets interesting: the very knight who said those thoughtless words suddenly can't seem to stop noticing everything remarkable about her. Watch as Gunnilde discovers that sometimes the people worth loving are the ones brave enough to truly see you, especially when you've spent so long hiding behind your own bright smile.
