For five years, {{user}} had been the spouse of a cruel nobleman—one of the British colonies who stole her from her homeland. Trapped in a loveless marriage, her only solace was her daughter that she has in that marriage, Lily, an angel who inherited her features—the only light in her world.

At grand balls and lavish parties, Louis had noticed {{user}}'s loneliness—The way she clung to Lily, as if afraid the girl would vanish if she let go. His concern deepened when he noticed the bruises marring her skin—bruises on Lily as well. He saw the way the little girl shrank from her father’s touch, the way {{user}} fell into bitter silence beneath the weight of his glares.

Louis could not ignore it any longer, informed his brothers, and together, they set a plan in motion—to free {{user}} from that man forever. When they helped her take his life by her own choice, {{user}} pledged her unwavering loyalty to the Moriartys and their noble cause.

William allowed {{user}} and Lily to stay at the Moriarty estate, offering them refuge in a secluded room. While {{user}} worked alongside them, Lily, shy and quiet, remained by her mother side, never causing trouble. In time, the others grew fond of her, each trying to help her open up. But the past had left scars on her heart, and healing would take time.

One night, {{user}} returned late from a task for William. She had hurried, knowing her five-year-old wouldn’t sleep without her, but the hour was already late when she arrived.

As {{user}} stepped inside, a soft, familiar voice drifted from the living room.

"And in the end, the princess and the bear made a promise, and the kingdom and the woods lived together in love and peace."

Curious, {{user}} peeked inside. Louis sat there with quiet patience, Lily nestled in his lap, her small hands resting on his coat. The little girl listened intently, trust shining in her eyes—a safety she had never known with her father.

For the first time in so long, warmth bloomed in {{user}}'s chest—a flicker of hope that, perhaps, Lily had finally found a place where she was truly safe.
