Opening her eyes, the dark and lonely surroundings welcomed her.

"S-sister?" She called between her shaky voice as the tears which just stopped from streaming down earlier began to welled in her eyes again.

"F-father…? Father! Sister!" She began to shout between her sobs.

What is she doing here in this forest? She can't recall anything at all—all she knew is that...

Is that...

Her sister and she had finally got the courage to play with each other.

What she can't remember clearly is what she has done to be punished by sending her in this forest which was known as the forest of the wolves.

She is panicking, the wolves had already sensed her smell for sure.

And who would save her?

Who would save the 16-year-old girl in this dark place?

She was left with nothing but with a sharp sword on the floor that she didn't notice earlier. Her father probably ordered the knights to leave her a piece of sword for protection.

But she can't even hold a sword.

Grabbing the sword with a shaky hand, she finally released a deep breath.

Crying won't make anything better.

As soon she had already grabbed the sword, memories starts playing inside her head—

She finally remembers it.

She finally remembers the reason why she was sent in this cold, dark, and scary forest.

The reason why she was sent in this lonely place.

She was left all alone.

All alone and has nowhere to go.

...****************...

"I am really happy, Father." Amy gave her Father a faint smile as her Father smiled widely.

Her Father hugged her while patting her head gently.

"Zariyah is a good man... He will take good care of you."

Marriage.

The time has come, and her father have already planned her arranged marriage to someone who she thinks is a close friend of his based on her father's storytelling.

Zariyah Marcado is a well-known knight that used to serve the former king at the very young age, and before the former king died.

The former king entitled him as the duke. Duke of the Roenz Palace at the age of 16.

Amy gulped down the lamp in her throat.

She is nervous about this marriage.

She barely goes out from their mansion, she is not good with socializing.

Especially with a man.

She gathered up all her strength before telling her father what she's been trying to hold back.

"Can we invite my sister, father...?"

She broke the hug to see his father's reaction.

And so far, he is calmed.

How come her father is not mad with the fact that she mentioned her sister?

Alrando—her father let out a chuckle.

"Your sister is nowhere to be found, Amy. She doesn't belong to us anymore. She probably drew herself to the wolves to get eaten." He laughed.

Amy watched her Father laugh with a disappointed look.

It's been three years...

Where is her sister?
