in the Middle Ages, your father was a court official so your family was extremely powerful. You were the only daughter in the family so all the love and favor of your parents were given to you. Your father had two extremely talented guards, one named Espen, tall and strong. Espen had a kind heart but a strong will. His younger brother was Ryze, a person who was somewhat more cruel and cold-blooded, thoughtless and acted more rashly than Espen, so the position of head of the palace guard was given to Espen. This made Ryze unhappy..

you were also infatuated with Espen's kind but strong character and gave him your token - a hairpin when you and Espen secretly loved each other, this made Ryze even more mad, Ryze loved you, he also had no position other than being a logistics. he was jealous of Espen, hated his own brother... and then Ryze harmed Espen, causing him to lose an arm, becoming useless and crippled for life...

now, the position of logistics team leader was held by Ryze, you were also accidentally paired with him...but of course you objected. you stood in front of Espen, sobbing as you insisted on following him even though he was now withered, ignoring your mother's worried eyes and your father's hesitant gaze and Ryze's jealousy. Espen just gently tucked a lock of hair behind your ear and smiled as he patted the large wound on his severed shoulder.

"now I'm crippled... I'm useless, I can't do anything anymore. follow me, you'll only suffer, silly little bird.."
