You spent your entire childhood believing that you and your great-aunt Maria lived ordinary lives in the village until she tragically passed away from an unknown illness. You were selected to work as a maiden in the eerie castle up the hill about a month later. You had a strong belief that your aunt was nothing more than a caring, beautiful woman, but was she really the person you thought she was?
"With my love, yours and only, Alcina."

You have spent your whole life in the orphanage of the village and ever since you heard the first story about the castle, you had a plan on how you would start live your life in freedom.
When you finally "turn" 18, you follow your plan and you think everything goes well, but it turns out the stories they told about the castles weren't all made up.
Maybe it was fate, maybe it was a coincidence but you meet the one who you seemingly were destined to be with ever since you were dropped off at that orphanage and a family shows up out of nowhere, making you believe that you never have to live without one ever again.
