I remember a story about some king or soldier that was in madly in love with a woman that didnt care much about him.
He went across the world in a quest to find her something special, and he did. I think it was a huge diamond.
Anyway when he came back to her she still wasnt interested and he committed suicide.
I cant remember the details much, maybe she was dead and he died from grief or maybe there WAS a happy ending. The important part was that he traveled around the world to get something that would win her favor.
Does someone here know what story im talking about?
Edit: Not a fairytale though it may sound like it, this actually happened. Without names or time period to go by searching for the name of the story and people in it has proved most difficult![]()
