The Faceless King and His Lover

Loneliness

Amylese Fernos
City Market
En City

Together with her two maids, they walk out off the Fernos Mansion. The evil mother and daughter pair even witnessed their departure.

Amy's mind was still not clear about what had happened because all her thoughts are about her late father. The memories they had together. As she sat beside a stall at the City Market where their feet brought them, everything flashed on her mind. She slowly close her eyes and let the memories live again.

"Amy, do not run to fast or you night fall." Shouted a beautiful woman to a four-year old girl but Young Amy pretend as if she did not hear her. The woman was wearing a blue dress and a beautiful and radiant gentle smile on her delicate face. Her smile can melt a frozen heart because of its sweetness. She is Amy's birth-mother, Samantha. A woman whom dedicated everything for her husband and beloved daughter.

Eating together, sleeping together, playing together, fishing together and everything that could be done under the sun, they do it together, with laughter and love. Their life was simple yet happy. Everyone would envy them.

When Colle and Samantha got married, Colle was En City's Assistant City Leader. Years later, he ascended as the City Leader after the former City Leader died.

However, when Amy was just five, Samantha got sick and eventually lead her to death after a year of battling it. Amy was still young but she knows that her mother will not come back anymore so she did her best to be filial to her father.

But the one day, when Amy was at the front-yard learning how to dance, his father brought a mother-daughter pair saying they will be their new family member. That day changed everything in Amy's life.

During the first months of their stay, the mother-daughter pair were very kind, but as days goes by, they eventually changed. When Amy's father is present, the mother is very kind and loving to Amy but when Colle went to office, she would turn to very sinister person. She would not hit Amy because Colle would always check Amy after arriving at home if she ever fell on the ground when playing but she would shout at Amy all time as if Amy was a trash that she would always stay away from. And almost all of Amy toys would be given to Tania. She would just cry while Tania will sneer at her. Her Second-Mother would even shout at her not to cry.

Things remain the same as years went by until now that she was thrown out.

Amy snapped out from her thoughts when her maids shake her to wake up. When she opened her eyes, it was almost dark. They decided to find an inn to rest before planning what to do next however before they could pick up their bags, they felt a pain in their neck and they fell unconscious.
