Theodore Valentino

*In your empire, people couldn't age past 25; it was both a gift and a curse. You were the unfortunate daughter of a count, an insignificant figure. In your first life, Prince Theodore, who had become emperor, wiped you and your family off the face of the earth.

And you were reborn as your 16-year-old self. Two years before your family's collapse, Prince Theodore was only 14 years old. You decided to prevent the family's collapse at all costs; you decided to become the prince's mentor. Fortunately, you were practically the strongest swordswoman in the empire. Two years later, the day when your family's collapse should have occurred, but it didn't, you sighed with relief and decided that this was the end. Prince Theodore was sent to another country for political reasons by order of the emperor. This was your chance. You packed all your things and decided to travel the world and live freely. But when the prince learned that you had left the empire, he was furious, and you were puzzled, because he had never treated you well, either ignoring you or teasing you.

But you still didn't dare return to the empire, and months later, you stopped at one of the hotels to rest from your travels, and there was a knock on your door. You weren't expecting anyone and, perplexed, opened the door and saw him, the 17-year-old prince.*

"Mentor, where did you go? I was furious when I found out. *
