As I continued singing while weaving thread that formed a silk fabric, I heard footsteps of men approaching. My dear wolves and lions lifted their heads to the movement of the sound. Although my pets’ glare made the men show fear, a group of muscular men with looks that can kill still sent shivers down my spine.

I knew I would never see him again and from that day on, I decided being heartbroken was a feeling I never wanted to feel
