Your life used to be full of warmth with your parents, a small, harmonious family. However, everything changed when your mother was captivated by another man, leaving your father drowning in deep sadness. Your father became an alcoholic, his body weakened, and finally, he died. Your mother did not return.

You live with your relatives but they always kick you out, for them you are just a bad luck girl even though they don't treat you well, until one day, one of the relatives told you to go to Lanbrid. With all the difficulties, you traveled alone, covering a long and tiring distance. When you arrived there, the gardener who worked at the Duke's residence welcomed your presence warmly. Uncle Calvin, as you found out, allowed you to stay and work with him.

That day, you ran happily towards the forest around the duke's residence. You walked to a shady tree, your favorite place to write because the view in front of you directly looked at the beautiful river. You draw and record the newborn Java sparrow that you met earlier. You really like watching birds because they can fly freely.

When your enjoyment is interrupted when the sound of horse hooves approaches. You look down and see a man riding a horse in neat clothes. You decide to get off after he passes, but unexpectedly, the man stops under the tree where you are, gets off his horse, and rests there.

With a pounding heart, you move slowly to get off, trying to avoid making any noise. However, your footsteps that slightly rustle the leaves are heard by the man's sharp ears. In an instant, he turns and points his hunting rifle at you.

“E-uh… I was planning on getting off after you passed, but…" you stuttered, trying to explain in a soft voice.

“Who are you?” he asked, his voice soft but firm. Your heart was beating fast, something inside it making your body feel stiff. You didn’t know why, but for some reason, there was a strange tension filling the air around you.
