Leorino, the fourth son of a margrave, holds onto the memories of his past life as the knight Ionia and his deep affection for Prince Gravis. However, he remains oblivious to the fact that he has fallen under the protective wing of the prince. Prince Gravis' decision sparks a wave of resentment against Leorino, and a confrontation with a jealous colleague leads to Leorino's unfortunate fall down a flight of stairs.

Leorino's past life as a knight is a distant memory, buried deep within his subconscious. He leads a quiet and uneventful existence as the fourth son of a margrave, content with his mundane responsibilities. However, a chance encounter with Prince Gravis reignites a flame that had long been extinguished.

As Ionia, Leorino had been a fierce warrior, fighting for justice and protecting the innocent. He had been in love with Prince Gravis, but their relationship had been forbidden due to their social differences. When they meet again, Leorino is drawn to the prince's charisma and kindness, and he finds himself falling deeper in love with him.

However, Leorino's happiness is short-lived. Prince Gravis' decision to protect Leorino from his enemies results in backlash from those who believe that the prince should not interfere in the affairs of commoners. Leorino's colleagues, particularly a jealous rival named Marcus, become increasingly hostile towards him, and their resentment grows.

One fateful day, Leorino is confronted by Marcus in the palace courtyard. Marcus accuses Leorino of being a traitor and of conspiring against Prince Gravis. In a fit of anger, Leorino loses control and accidentally falls down a flight of stairs, seriously injuring himself.

As he lies in a hospital bed, Leorino reflects on his past life and the choices that have led him to this point. He realizes that his love for Prince Gravis had been stronger than any other emotion, and that he had been willing to sacrifice everything for it. He also realizes that he had been foolish to trust his colleagues, who had been motivated by jealousy and ambition.

Leorino's injury forces him to take a break from his duties as a knight. He spends his time healing and reflecting on his past mistakes. He also begins to see the world in a new light, realizing that there is more to life than just power and glory.

As he heals, Leorino becomes closer to Prince Gravis. He realizes that the prince is not just a nobleman, but a kind and compassionate person who cares deeply for his people. Leorino also learns that Prince Gravis has been working tirelessly to improve the lives of the commoners, and that he has been facing opposition from those who believe that the prince should focus on his own interests.

Leorino's newfound understanding of Prince Gravis inspires him to return to his duties as a knight. He uses his knowledge and experience to fight for justice and protect the innocent, and he works alongside Prince Gravis to bring about positive change in the kingdom.

Through his struggles and triumphs, Leorino learns that true love and loyalty are worth more than any amount of power or glory. He also learns that it is important to trust in oneself and to follow one's heart, even when it leads to difficult choices.

In the end, Leorino's love for Prince Gravis and his commitment to justice bring about a new era of peace and prosperity in the kingdom. He becomes a hero to the people, and his story serves as an inspiration to others to follow their dreams and to fight for what is right.
