She's greeted by the dazzling sunlight from her window. She gazed over the town and holds her abdomen and quietly says "Looks like we will have a great future together".

A week pass by and Queen Dimitrescu is going through labor. King Dmitri commanded the nurses and the best Doctor of the kingdom to take care of his wife and give her the best medical assistance she needs. In return King Dmitri will pay them appropriately.

She inhaled and push with all of her might. She let out a shrilling scream; Her voice echoes throughout the hallways. King Dmitri heard her scream; it sent shivers all over his body. King Dmitri sprinted towards Queen Dimitrescu's bedroom. He opens the door and to his surprise he found his wife relieved, bliss and chuckling along with the nurses.

"My love?" King Dmitri Concerningly called his wife while reaching for her. "My love" She said in a tired voice. "Just take a rest my love. I'll take care of the rest" He said while looking at her eyes. Queen Dimitrescu smiled and instantly fell asleep. The Doctor handed over the baby to King Dmitri and said "It's a girl Your Majesty". "Very well, My Butler shall give all of you your pay" King Dmitri said while happily having his moment with his daughter. "Oh, I almost forgot. Thank you for doing your best" He added while smiling.

The moon was at it's full bloom. An expert thief and assassin were moving around the castle borders with immaculate coordination and execution of guards. One by one the guards were killed in a quick and fatal way; a stab in the neck, choking them while ripping their guts open, snapping their necks swiftly, etc. The other guards don't know what's happening. One misstep and both of them could be beheaded. So, with careful steps, like a predator; silent but deadly they got into the castle. When they got into the Master bedroom, they found the baby with a necklace on. The thief was amazed at the design because out all of the people he robbed he had never seen anything like this. A golden intricate dragon that surrounds a silver box. It feels quite heavy. It seems interact-able but they've got no time to tamper with anything else. They quickly snatched the baby and also the money that was laying around the bedroom.

Dawn came and everyone was shocked at how vulgar the casualties were. Both King Dmitri and Queen Dimitrescu were horrified and desolate. But they didn't give up, they set up wanted posts all over the kingdom; to whoever finds their daughter they will give 100,000 silver and to whoever finds the person who kidnapped their daughter, they will give 1,000,000 silver as a reward and had him beheaded in front of thousands of people.

A week passes by, no one found their daughter but the greediness of the thief succumbs him and betrays the assassin. He exposed the assassin but the assassin fought hard; He killed 200 soldiers while hunting the thief who exposed him. Moving like the wind. Versatile like an acrobat; he climbs the wall like a monkey, he parkour's with beauty, and hunts his prey like a panther. He finds the thief in an abandoned house; the roof is scattered with large holes and small holes, half of the walls are destroyed or has a hole in it, rats and cockroaches are scurrying around looking for food they can scavenge. The assassin beheads the thief. Blood splurges around the room. He carried the baby until he finds a suitable home for her to live in.

He left Liwanag to a decent family. He tucks in the necklace inside the blanket and wrote a note. "Please take care of this child. Her name is Diana". The assassin left quietly leaving no trace behind. The man and the woman raised Diana like their own child. They gave her everything she needs. But everything went downhill when the man got into an accident; breaking all of his bones. With the man in a weakened state he cannot provide them with any money so the woman had to work 5 jobs. Later on, the man died. And the woman killed herself leaving Diana all alone by herself. No one wants to take her in. So, she starts walking on the path all alone like a wolf.
