Chapter 1 – The Missing Princess

The air was heavy with silence, yet Guy felt it hum with memories that weren’t his own. Shadows of an ancient kingdom flickered before his eyes—golden halls, a frightened princess, whispers of betrayal. Every night, he dreamt of her, of the life he had lived long ago, a love lost to time itself.

But in the present, the world was different. Streets buzzed with careless laughter, neon lights replaced candlelit corridors, and the princess he had loved was nowhere to be found. Still, he remembered everything—every glance, every word, every promise he had never kept.

Guy walked alone in the city, clutching a small, cracked pendant that had survived centuries. It was hers—the princess’s. He had found it buried in ruins of what once had been their palace. The memories it carried were sharp, like shards of glass cutting through the fog of time.

Then, he saw him. A man, standing under the lamplight, his eyes catching Guy’s in a way that made the world stop. There was something familiar, something impossibly alive in his gaze.

“Danny,” Guy whispered, almost trembling. The name came out before he could think.

The man tilted his head, confused. “I’m… Danny. Do I know you?”

Guy’s heart tightened. Of course he didn’t. How could he? Danny was not from that time. Not yet, at least. The love he had lost had returned, transformed, hidden in a man of this era, oblivious to the past that bound them.

“I…” Guy paused, searching for words that could bridge centuries. “You feel familiar. Like… like something I’ve always known.”

Danny smiled faintly, a spark of warmth in the cold night. “Maybe it’s just déjà vu.”

But Guy knew better. His love had survived centuries, reborn in Danny, and now fate had brought them together, though the path ahead was uncertain. Somewhere in the shadows of the city, the echoes of the missing princess still lingered, calling for justice, for truth, for reunion.

Guy extended his hand slowly. “Then… will you walk with me? There’s something you need to see—something only we can uncover together.”

Danny hesitated, then nodded, unaware that the story of an ancient love was about to rewrite itself in ways neither of them could imagine.

And somewhere, in the silence between past and present, the missing princess watched, waiting.

Chapter 2 – Deja Vu

Danny sat in the quiet corner of the library, a dusty book resting on his lap. Its cover was worn, almost fragile, and yet it seemed to hum with a strange energy. As he opened it, the words inside felt… familiar, like a story he had read before, though he had never seen the book in his life.

Guy watched silently from across the room, his eyes shadowed with memories. He knew this moment would come—the book was the key, the bridge between past and present, between Danny and the girl he had loved centuries ago.

Danny’s fingers traced the lines of ink, his brow furrowing. The story spoke of a princess, a hidden kingdom, and a love that defied time. Every word sent shivers down his spine.

“This… this is… deja vu,” Danny whispered, his voice barely audible. He looked up at Guy, confusion and awe mixing in his eyes. “It’s like I… I’ve lived this before.”

Guy nodded slowly. “You have. In another life, you were… someone else. Someone she loved.”

Danny blinked. “Someone she… loved? I don’t understand. And why does reading this feel like I’m remembering something?”

Because Danny was no ordinary man. His intelligence, sharp and discerning, could not be dulled by lies or illusions. He noticed details that most would miss—the patterns in the story, the subtle echoes of the past, the hidden messages only someone destined to understand could see. Men had often tried to impress him, deceive him, or charm him, but none had succeeded. Danny saw too clearly. He didn’t like fools, nor did he trust easily.

Guy took a deep breath, stepping closer. “In the ancient kingdom, you were… Yuzui, the prince she loved. Your soul has returned here, but in a new form. That’s why you look… familiar.”

Danny’s eyes widened as he read a description in the book—golden hair, eyes that mirrored his own, a presence that made hearts falter. The princess’s memories, her longing and love, seemed to flicker across his vision. And then he saw it—the reflection of the girl she had been, intertwined with his own face.

“I… I look like her?” Danny asked, his voice trembling.

“Not exactly,” Guy said softly, “but enough. Enough that destiny has brought us together again. Your mind, your spirit… they carry the echoes of Yuzui. You are the key to everything.”

Danny closed the book slowly, the weight of realization pressing down on him. This was no ordinary story, no casual curiosity. His life, his existence, and his very identity were now tangled with a love that had spanned centuries—a love he had never known, yet somehow remembered.

And somewhere, deep in the shadows of time, the missing princess waited, hoping that the reincarnated Yuzui would finally understand, finally awaken the past that refused to die.
