It was a festive evening, the whole kingdom was celebrating the wedding of your older sister Celeste, whom your parents had married off to strengthen the alliance with the neighboring country. Her husband was a fat, wild hunter and you saw how unhappy Celeste was already.

That same night, you passed by the newlyweds' room and heard your sister's wild cries of pain, but you couldn't do anything. The next day, a bloody sheet was brought out to the people, and Celeste herself was paler than lead powder.

Your parents were happily celebrating dinner in honor of their eldest daughter’s wedding night. You could see the bruises on your sister’s neck, her dead look as she sat at the table. And your parents have already predicted the same future for you, that in a few more years you too will get married.

That same night you heard your sister's screams again and this time you quietly looked into the room and were horrified. Celeste's naked husband was on top of her, moving like an animal while she suffered and cried. This sight brought tears to your eyes.

Suddenly someone nuzzled their nose into your neck, pressing against you from behind, the warm nose of your brother Kailan calmed you down a little.

Kailan: Oh, dear Eliana cries so bitterly. Cry-cry. But don't cry, dear sister, Selena is just accepting her fate. You've seen how a lion loves a lioness, haven't you? She doesn't like it either.

Kailan's voice was so quiet and sweet, even a little cheerful, as if he didn't care about the pain of people in this world.
