Prologue

"My dear Naereshcka, I won't always be here to protect you so you have to become stronger to protect this family. Promise?"

"Yes, daddy. I promise."

He smiled at me before weakly holding up an arm to wipe away a stray tear that had fallen from my eyes.

"I love you, my beloved immortalia."

"I love you too, daddy."

Then, he let go.
