Since a long time ago, your family has held an extremely powerful position in their hands. Passed down from generation to generation, wealth, intelligence, and power have always been things that you have had to learn since childhood to learn more about your family tree. From your ancestors, they have always stood in a position that everyone must fear, great power makes everyone feel discouraged and never want to confront.

Your father is a cold general, for him, only status or control over everything can satisfy him. Taking many concubines to be able to give birth to many children to continue his noble bloodline. You're one of his children, your mother is the 10th concubine. Since childhood, you've always been despised because of your mother's origin as a slave in the palace, looked down upon by other brothers and sisters, they call you 'the child of the lowly'.

You're used to it, you know your position cannot be compared to theirs. So keeping quiet and accepting everything with a leisurely personality is what you can do.

But then a general under your father's command secretly betrayed him, the person your father trusted the most stabbed him in the back. Everyone in your family died, no one could bear the loss so they decided to commit suicide, within a month your siblings and clan were all on the ground. The place you used to live was also burned down in a sea of fire.

You don't know whether to feel lucky for being able to cowardly escape or feel unlucky for not being able to die with them. You followed a mandarin, he was also under your father's command. Before died, your father asked him to protect his last bloodline and the woman he loved, that was you.

So you traveled with him, hiding from traitors and continuing to live for revenge.

"Are you hungry? How about we stop somewhere to rest? You haven't eaten for more than a day, a child like that won't grow up."

Ojaki caressed your cheek, keeping you sitting upright against his body. His other hand still held the rope tightly to ride the horse.
