3rd Pov
The young woman's cries of pain and desperation filled the air, reverberating through the empty room as she struggled through the arduous process of giving birth. Despite her pleas for assistance, there was no one there to lend a helping hand, leaving her to face the daunting task alone. After enduring hours of labor, a tiny life was brought into the world, a glimmer of joy amidst the chaos. Just as the mother cradled her newborn in her arms, a man stormed into the room, his face contorted with a mix of emotions.Without warning, the man snatched the baby from its mother's grasp, his eyes scrutinizing the tiny face before him. A wave of anger washed over him, causing his face to flush a deep shade of red. However, in a sudden change of heart, he swiftly returned the baby to its mother's arms, his voice now filled with a mix of frustration and concern. He unleashed a tirade of words, yelling at the young woman.

"WHY COULD WHO GIVE ME A SON, MY SECOND WIFE HAD GIVING ME TWO BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME ONE?!" As he yelled, In a moment of sheer anger, he grabbed a glass and flung it towards the woman, who instinctively shielded her child from harm. The room fell into a tense silence, broken only by the sound of the shattered glass, serving as a stark reminder of the destructive consequences of unchecked emotions.

"YOU ARE NO LONGER THE MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE AND YOU AND THAT CHILD WILL GO TO THE ABANDONMENT ESTATE IN THE FOREST!?" The man who delivered the news left, leaving the woman feeling helpless and alone. The servants who witnessed the scene laughed at her, adding insult to injury. Feeling defeated, the woman gathered all her belongings and packed them into a single suitcase. She held her baby close to her chest, trying to comfort the child who was too young to understand what was happening. As she prepared to leave, the woman whispered softly to her baby, kissing the child's forehead and promising to protect them no matter what.

"I will call you; Elizabeth I will make sure you will have everything you need in life that's a promise my child."

Elizabeth Pov
As I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of a woman standing over me. However, it wasn't just any woman, it was my mother. Her face wore a sad smile, as if burdened by the weight of the world. Her voice, gentle and soothing, filled the room as she spoke to me. "My sweet Elizabeth, this will be our new home..."

Taking a moment to gather my surroundings, I realized that we were in the master room of an abandoned estate. The room was shrouded in a thick layer of dust, as if untouched for years. The only source of light came from a cracked mirror hanging on the far side of the room, reflecting the desolation that surrounded us. It was a stark contrast to the warmth and love that emanated from my mother's presence. 

"... But if I have you and you turn out to be a beautiful young girl, I will be happy." Turning my attention back to my mother, I studied her features intently. Her long, dirty blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders, slightly tangled and unkempt. Her teal eyes, filled with a glimmer of hope, seemed to light up whenever they met mine. However, her pale complexion told a different story. It was marred by numerous bruises and cuts, a testament to the hardships she had endured.

'Alice von Chan was the first wife of the villainess's father. She was born into a common family and suffered from an illness, but despite this, she was known for her exceptional beauty. Unfortunately, Alice was forced into a marriage with the villainess's father, who later had an affair with another woman and fathered twin sons. After this, he made Alice his second wife, and she lost her title. Once Alice gave birth to the villainess, she was left to raise her child in an abandoned estate. Her illness eventually took her life, and the villainess's father did nothing but watch it all happen with a heartless expression on his face. Alice's life was filled with hardship and pain, and she was never given the respect and love that she deserved.'

"My mother is going to die no matter what I do, but I can make sure she will know I will be okay when that day comes.'
