Theia has memory of her mother Eura , reading a poem book in secret. Whenever her mother was free, she would find a secluded place and read the poems. Theia would try to grab her mother's attention , she would ask her to share the book with her.

  The mother and daughter would spend most of their time together. Eura would help Theia with her speaking skills, her writing and she would buy instruments with the money she would make from her shows. They were not doing well financially. Michael had developed severe drinking problems.

  Vosk's poems had hurt the reputation of both the families. His poems made his lover's name and origins obvious. People hated Sir William with a passion , he became a villain. People would spread false rumors, his reputation in the market dropped as well.

  Being the villain in the life of a poet as legendary as Vosk , had it's own consequences.

  It had been a long time since Sir William could raise his head high and walk outside. He suffocated in his mansion out of breath from karma biting him back.

  The century's most loved hero, made a noble the most hated Villain. His reputation dragged through mud . His prestige damaged.

  Sir William has to bear the hatered of hundreds of housands of people. Anyone associated to him was also facing consequences.

  Soon his colleagues used him as a spacegoat and severed ties with him . Sir William has to flee the city . His curropt acts were brought to light , the man was now face to face with judgement .

  Escape was not an option, it was a necessity for his survival. His family ruined , prestige damaged . Even Sir Erik was a victim of this hate. His impulsive entitled son had been a troublemaker.

  Michael had been a target of criticism for the masses , his actions disgusting , his thoughts curropt and that filthy personality of his didn't help him either.

  He would even tease women, bully the helpless , he would drink and cause trouble every other evening.

  He was the black sheep of the family.

  When Vosk mentioned about Michael marrying Eura in his poem " Frog that hogs the pond" , he did not hold back as he berates Michael's antics and he even mentioned Michael's actions that he hated . The most iconic line from the poem was-

  " May death & ruin seek the frog,

  for that's the greater good,

  May the frog die a thousand deaths ,

  I shall kill it , I shall let it feels anguish .

  The frog that makes the butterflies avoid the pond,

  The frog that torments the pond with its love,

  The frog that is better off dead,

  The frog that is a road disguised as a frog ,

  His body & mind filled with poision that kills those who stay.

  He feeds off of the spark of others ,

  I wish I'd kill it myself.

  He will die a million times before he takes what's mine ,

  If he does take what's mine and I'm not there to protect , may nature take its course and erase this pesky pest..."

  Vosk wrote this poem for Michael , with nothing but hatered . And it showed , Vosk even went on to replace frog with Michael making his subliminal poem into a direct shot at him.

  People who had enough stood for themselves , Michael would go on to be beaten to a pulp by the citizens when he put his hands on another woman .

  Vosk's greatest weapon apart from his skills was his roots , being of common origin , he saw the world through the eyes of commoners , he felt the same things they did. People would see themselves in Vosk, for it could've been anyone , sadly it was Vosk.

  They loved Vosk for he was a kind man , his legacy left it's mark on the world , in the hearts of those who revolted against corrupt nobles.

  Sir Erik died in the revolt , he died as an scapegoat for his son & daughter -in-law.

  Michael , Eura & Theia had to flee from the city for their safety. Eura felt a sense of satisfaction, her lover took revenge for them as he had promised.

  Michael succumbed to madness , he would work multiple jobs to make money . If he has enough money, he would get drunk and come home .

  Eura and Michael would have fights & would argue about everything. Eura didn't want her daughter around a drunkard.

  Michael had become hopeless. He would come home drunk , shouting and screaming and cursing at Eura.

  One fateful night , Michael who had drunk more than usual to forget the humiliation he had faced earlier in the morning when his supervisor scolded him for not working hard and even cursing him in front of others .

  His eyes red with anger . He came back home and Eura started nagging him for coming home drunk .

  Michael couldn't bear this humiliation anymore, everyone looked down on him , this is not the life he wanted .

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Michael lost control , he shoves Eura away as she fell on the floor. Eura screamed at him " So now you're even going to hit me ? You truly are pathetic Michael ."

  Michael's pride was hurt , he could not handle the disrespect . Michael walks up to Eura , loosing balance and stunning around , he screams " You bitch ! This is all your fault . I was living the life , I was happy until I had to marry a dumbass Like you. You and that filthy lover of yours , you both ruined everything. I don't want this , I hate this life , I deserve better , I deserve respect . I want to see fear on People's eyes . I hate this!!"

  Michael then stands up and looks at Eura as he gets his teeth and says " You know what ? I'll change everything to be the way I like . I don't want this and it's only right I fix things. I will start with you. Im gonna make you fear me ."

  Michael throws a candle stand nearby at Eura . Eura tries to cover her face and her hands get injured .

  Eura gets up. She has had enough . Eura in a disturbing moment of rage tells him " No one fears you and respect is out of the question. I only stayed with you , cuz you never raises your hands on me , Now you've done it. I am done with you and with this relationship. I will kill you, Michaelll !!"

  Eura rushes into the kitchen as she brings out a butchers knife. She runs up at Michael and stabs his intestines.

  Michael screams in agony. Eura twists the knife and drags it up his body , she had lost all the love and softness for the world now.

  Eura screams as she stabbed Michael .

  Screaming in pain . Michael then grabs the knife and throws it away.

  He then grabs Eura by the face and pins her on the table . He bashed her head against it.

  Eura doesn't even care about the injury she had. It was her last stand.

  Eura pushes Michael as he stumbles backwards and falls.

  Seizing this opportunity , Eura grabs the knife and mounts Michael as she starts stabbing him.

  Blood starts gushing out from his body to them all over the floor. Theia kept stabbing Michael over and over again. It was her way of exaxting revenge for the past.

  After minutes of stabbing. Eura finally stops . She showers up and decides that what she has done is unacceptable.

  Eura should never had done something this evil , she vomits several times.

  She then went to check on Theia. Theia was hiding under her bed and when Eura asked her to come out .

  Theia begs her saying " Mom , please don't kill me too, I've been a god girl ! I'm not like father , I promise . Please mom , please !!"

  Eura breaks down , her mind is broken, Theia, her only hope in this world , even she had begun to hate her.

  Eura realized what happened has changed both her and Theia's life for the worse.

  Eura gently says " I will never hurt , my treasure . Now come outside , Momma has something she wants to discuss with you"

  Eura then gives Theia , the book Vosk wrote and said " This is your father's last words. Michael isn't your father , Theia. Now , I know that you have questions and are scared about what is happening, but you have to listen to what I say and follow my instructions okay?"

  Theia nods in agreement .

  Eura continues " As you know, Momma has done something wrong , so she will be going away from you on punishment okay? I will not be able to meet you after this day , so I want you to get out of this place. Do you remember the homeless people we performed for the other day? I want you to go to them and give them this letter , stay with them they will take care of you. Momma loves you Theia "

  Eura hugs Theia one last time as she dresses up Theia in a warm dress for the night and asks her to go .

  Theia then drags Michael's body to the government building in the middle of the night and turns herself in. She is arrested on spot and is charged for the murder of her husband.

  Theia makes it to the homeless people and gives the letter Eura wrote to their leader named Jaun.

  Jaun read the letter and realises the situation. He picks up little Theia and takes her in . He feeds her, gives her a

  Mattress and a blanket to sleep in.

  Theia starts living with the homeless and they move to different cities . She travels around with them and experiences life from their perspective.

  She faces hardship with the group , survives freezing nights , she even learns how to steal food and money .

  Theia thinks of the homeless as her own people now , she loves them. Everyone in the group is like a family to her.

  After years pass and when Theia grows to be 21 years old , she and her group traverse to the merchant city.

  That's when she met Sewo and fell in love with his compassion and selflessness which remind him of her mother when she hadn't gone insane.

  We return to the present where Theia now hugs Sewo tightly , she is lost in her dreams thinking about the past, but Sewo is now awake, he was up the whole time , for how could he sleep when the person he loves is so close to him in the night .

  Sewo wants to turn around and hug Theia tightly , but he doesn't , he knows that she's asleep and is thinking of something else . So it's not the right thing to do.

  Sewo just lies there as he feels her warmth, her breaths falling on his face and he then turns to his side to sleep but accidentally puts his face in her chest. He immediately turns around as he gets flustered by what just happened.

  Sewo then lies on his back as he waits for Theia to loosen her grip so he can go sleep on the floor. The night passes and Theia never let go of Sewo.

  Sewo fell asleep trying to wait it out. Theia then wakes up at 6 in the morning, she realizes that she can't move a bit . It's like a tree fell on her.

  When she looks as to what it might be, she notices that Sewo with his face plummeted in her chest is now hugging her up tight . Theia panics as this is not the situation she wanted to be in.

  Theia then thinks about it and accepts the offer as she hugs Sewo back and goes to sleep.

  The two of them , then wake up at 8 am with Thiea now lying on top of Sewo with her head rested on his chest .

  The two look each other in the eyes and Sewo breaks the silence with "Good Morning, Theia."

  Theia wishes him a good morning as she still doesn't get up from him. Sewo then asks her" How'd you like the new bed?"

  Theia replies "it's not bad, I like it here."

  There is an awkward silence between the two . Sewo understood how Theia feels, with a grin on his face , he confronts her " I know you like me, I did get rejected back then, but seeing as how close we are this time round, I won't be taking no for an answer. "

  Theia gets flustered over his this unexpected boldness. She replies " I was not planning on rejecting you anyways."

  He feels a strange comfort in his heart, he feels at ease. He was expecting to get rejected yet again , hoping that'd help him move on.

  He then asks Theia" Then you're my love partner now? "

  Theia nods in agreement and replies " And you're my love partner."

  He has a bright smile on his face , for the first time , in the last 7 years , he had a look of happiness on his face. Sewo asks Theia " Uhm, If you're mine , can I give you a ... a hug ?"

  Her face turns red , she didn't expect Sewo to be acting cute , regardless of how crazy he is. Theia taunts him with " Hmm.. you don't need permission to hug or kiss your lover ."

  Sewo wraps her in his arm , never wanting to let go . He pulls her in as tight and up close as he can . Theia leans in on his face and kisses his lips. Theia whispers to him " Never back down from me. "

  His smile fades . Sewo asks Theia for a moment , he wishes to discuss something with her .

  Sewo sits her down and explains to her , telling her what's in his mind saying " I will not lie to you , I think it's the least I can do. I was expecting you to say no and then I would have moved on with my love and then I would have helped you settle down in this business , then I was planning to leave."

  Theia is taken aback, she asks him " You were going to leave? What? You're going to leave when we have just got together? Great ! Why are you leaving ? Where will you go ? Do you have to go ?"

  Sewo comforts her and answers to each of her questions . " I was never going to stay, I wanted to setup my finances here and then go to some other city . It is sad for me as well, but I can't stay even if I wanted to , I have so many things to do. I am going to the Assassin city , I have to prepare for what's to come, I must visit that place ."

  Theia gets sad as she asks him " Can I tag along at least? "

  Sewo denies this , he can't risk her getting injured . Sewo thinks for a moment , he then suggests her his idea " If you want , I can promise to visit you at every given opportunity . You're the only person that I like . And I love you , it's not liking you . I love you , so I will keep my promise and come back."

  Theia , with sadness all over her face and a worried look comforts Sewo with " I love you . You're perfect. I love everything about you. If it's you , I can wait all my life. Please come back to me whenever you can ."

  Sewo has another idea for her " Do you , uhm , if it's okay for now , I uhm , I am fine if you say no.... Do you want to get married before I leave?"

  Her jaw drops , their love relationship has just started and he's already thinking of marriage . Theia stutters " Uhm , so , What the fuck? M- Marriage? I know you act fast, but aren't ya being too much , like isn't a marriage like sacred thing , you can't just marry me , we've barely known each other. Let's take our time."

  Sewo agrees with her , although he wishes she said yes.

  The two of them keep talking and it's 10' O clock in the morning already. The two of them , then dress back up and leave the inn.

  With a better life , a lover and things finally going right , Sewo can finally feel at ease. His burdens have lessened . The two of them go back to the warehouse , with a bunch of customers waiting in queue. The take requests and divide the work-load between the employees. By the end of the day , they accepted more than 15 requests.

  Their business has finally set off on the right foot. They are gaining attention all around the market. But with this newfound popularity , there are bound to be mixed opinions. There were people in the market who were not too happy about their growth.

  A rival organization , was getting affected by Sewo and his group . They finally decide to do something about the Iron Lily agency. We see the organization leader sending his goons to make a mess out of the new group . Nearly 25 men , with explosives and metal rods , march towards the Iron Lily organization .
