A long time ago, father brought me to a gathering of nobles.

He saw that I was lonely without my sister or mother, so he saw it as an opportunity to make friends.

By this point, father was a feared man and my family's reputation was slightly tarnished. I could feel the intense glares from the nobles as silence pervaded the room due to father's presence.

Unable to handle the scrutiny, I fled from the area and retreated into myself, like I always do.

However, while I was sobbing, a boy came to console me.

He was much younger than me, but we got along very well afterwards and promised to visit each other whenever we could.

When physical visits were no longer possible, we would write to each other.

Thanks to him, my loneliness was eased and my confidence increased.

You will stay with me forever, right Hector?
