A glimpse of the past (1)
''I-Isla..ran a-away…?'' Finn remembered questioning the maid in denial. That time, He didn't want to believe that he would lose another family member again. His beloved wife's death was very heartbreaking for him. And his daughter, who had pulled him out of the abyss of grief, was his salvation to live again just as if his wife were alive and silently smiling with him.
His daughter was the epitome of their love. She resembled him in terms of physical appearance, but her character, interests, smile and especially her eyes clearly mirrored his late wife. Only a few people knew the slight difference between his blue eyes and his late wife's blue eyes.
However, when things were finally getting better for their little family, the world had to remind him of cruelty again.
''Y-Yes…your excellency.'' He received the maid's answer. Her words solidified what his heart denied, and it was tortuous for him to face the truth.
