Chapter 302: The Tin Knight and The Invitation of Memories (2)
Once upon a time, long ago.
A girl was dying on the street.
The reason was simple.
The girl was too weak to survive on her own, and her parents, who should have protected her until she grew up, had already passed away.
It wasn’t an incredibly tragic or fateful death.
In an era where poverty, disease, and plunder were common.
Many died of starvation, died without receiving medical treatment, or were killed after having their precious things taken away by someone.
The girl’s family was also caught up in one of these numerous misfortunes, and so the girl became alone.
“…”
She hugged her legs, burying her face between her knees.
Countless small wounds were carved into those arms and legs. They were traces of the girl’s struggle to survive after losing her parents.
It was evidence that she had tried not to give up, even if it was in vain.
