Linda even though they've never met before.

Linda and that he saw two shooting stars in the night. Linda seems to remember she
was born with a mission, which she doesn't remember.
Julius and Linda fall in love with each other. One day, Linda gets to know she was
one of the daughters of God Preades before she was born. Linda was a goddess who
carries the soul of the dead to the land of Death. When she saw Julius dead in the war,
she fell in love with him and stole a ring from the land of Death to give him another
life. However, a goddess was not allowed to be in love with a man. She was born here
to get the ring back from Julius. Julius dies if he loses the ring.
Julius actually is a prince of Zaromon. Even though he wants to marry Linda when he
becomes the new king, Linda returns home since she knows she needs to kill him unless
she becomes a human. She ends up killing herself because she'd rather die than killing
Julius. It turns out that killing herself is the only way for a goddess to become a
human. God Preades was moved by her love for Julius and gives him a real life.
