Summary
Corbeau built an empire out of fear and desperation, telling himself he needed power to keep the girl he loved safe. But when one of his early enemies hurt her, he convinced himself the cruelest lie he’s ever told, that she would be safer without him. He left, and when he finally came back for her, she was already gone.
Until one day his Arbok falls gravely ill and the only cure comes from a rare Hisuian herb grown by a quiet florist in Lumiose,
the woman he has spent years searching for, years grieving, years wishing he could apologize to.You agrees to make the medicine, but it takes weeks to grow, forcing them into the same space with years of unspoken pain sitting between them. She keeps him at arm’s length, refusing to let him soothe the hurt he caused.
Corbeau would burn down everything he’s built for a second chance.
But she’s the one who must decide whether the man who abandoned her deserves a place in the life she rebuilt without him.
