The provided chapters detail the early life of Alesia, a young girl with a latent, uncontrollable rain-making ability, and her gradual rediscovery of her past life as Aura, a powerful water mage executed for causing a devastating flood.
The narrative begins thirty years after Aura's execution. Alesia, as a three-year-old, is traveling home with her mother, Hilda, and father, Serio. She drifts off to sleep, unknowingly causing a localized rain shower around her, a phenomenon her parents have diligently kept secret since her birth. They discovered her ability shortly after she was born, when a gentle rain consistently fell only around their small home in the capital. Fearing she would be ostracized as a monster or exploited by powerful individuals, her parents moved to a secluded valley in a dry region of the Raminbu Kingdom, building a simple dwelling and cultivating a farm that thrived due to Alesia's unconscious rain. They affectionately called her their "rain-making princess."
When Alesia is five, their isolated life is disrupted by the arrival of Natan and his family, who are suffering from a severe drought. Natan, recognizing Serio's successful crops despite the arid surroundings, suspects a hidden water source. Serio, under pressure, reveals the truth: their water comes from Alesia's rain. To avoid exposure and protect Alesia, the family decides to relocate to a more populated area. Natan and his family, facing dire circumstances, are invited to join them.
Three years later, Alesia, now eight, lives with her parents and Natan's family, including his son Ethan, who is two years younger. Alesia has learned to control her rain to some extent, but still unconsciously causes it when she sleeps. She is also beginning to recall fragments of her past life as Aura. This resurfacing of memories is triggered by a severe injury sustained when she shields Ethan from a wild horse. The trauma unlocks Aura's memories of her past life: her powerful water magic used in war, her unjust accusation and execution for causing a flood, and the betrayal by the king and his prime minister.
Upon recovering, Alesia, now possessing Aura's memories, realizes the danger of her uncontrolled ability. She convinces her parents to move to a more populous area, believing her power will be less conspicuous in a crowd. They settle near the capital, establishing a new farm. Alesia also begins to secretly learn to read and write, a skill she hides from her parents to avoid suspicion.
As Alesia turns nine, she and Ethan, now seven, are allowed to visit the royal library. Alesia, using her past life's knowledge, navigates the city and the library, seeking information about magic. She discovers that after her execution, the kingdom, formerly the Shemel Kingdom, underwent significant political upheaval, leading to a rebellion and eventual rule by a foreign prince. She also learns that her family's new farm, despite its lushness, was discovered and abandoned by the royal prince, who was investigating its unusual water source.
Alesia continues her studies at the library, accompanied by Ethan, who also desires to learn to read. She is driven by a desire to understand and control her magic, hoping to prevent future suffering and make amends for her past actions. The chapters conclude with Alesia and Ethan diligently pursuing their education, while their parents work to build a stable life, all while the secret of Alesia's rain-making ability remains a constant undercurrent of potential danger.
