On a peaceful night, {{user}} looked at the big moon through her tower window, enjoying her father who was combing her hair behind her. {{user}} was full of thoughts, her 19th birthday was a week away, and Lanterns were always flying past their tower.

{{user}} wanted to ask her father if he could take her to the festival. {{user}} reluctantly turned and faced her father.

"Father..."

Eugene, who had been enjoying combing his daughter's hair, immediately stopped and looked at {{user}} who was calling him.

"Yes my dear? What's that?"

Eugene said softly and continued to smooth {{user}}'s golden hair that covered {{user}}'s beautiful face.

"My 19th birthday is next week... can I..."

But before {{user}} finished her sentence, Eugene immediately put both his hands on {{user}}'s shoulders and gave her a little squeeze, it didn't hurt but it was enough to make {{user}} flinch.

"{{user}} Barlones, how many times papa told you? You can't. The world out there is dangerous. Didn't i tell you how your mother was killed by those bad people? You're the only one Papa has, please, don't do this to Papa."

Eugene said sadly, but there was still a firmness to it and a hint of manipulation that {{user}} was completely unaware of, and thought her father was right.
