hopeless love or forever Love?
Hot 3 ||
Once upon a time, there is a king who hosts a banquet for his princess, and a guard saw this princess passing by at the banquet, she is so beautiful that the guard fall in love at first sight. But how can a guard of humble origins marry a princess? Then he has a chance to bare his heart to the princess: he loves her and can not live without her. The princess is greatly touched, she told the guard: if he can wait under her balcony for one hundred days and nights straight, she would be wiling to marry him. Thereupon, the guard waits for the princess for one day, two days, ten days………the princess can see him right there under her balcony every night, no matter how nasty weather is, he never miss a day until the ninety-ninth day, the guard stands up and walks away on this day.
(this is a chinese to english translation without any refinement , there maybe deficiencies, pls feel free to correct me )

- I think the reason why the guard went away on the 99th day is because a princess making the a guard go through such agony is not worthy of the guard's love.

- Your translation is fine but there are some minor mistakes in the present/past tense, otherwise it is quite a perfect translation;

- It is perhaps only because of having regrets that the love can be everlasting beautiful, why the guard quit on the 99th day , that's the keypoint of the story , bcz he is scared that when he waits for 100 days , the princess would not keep her promise , in that case , he would be brokenhearted, the reason why he leave on the 99th day , he wants the princess to remember him forever . have you ever watched the Japanese TV drama <Tokyo Love Story> then you would understand ~
