She was like an empress standing on a giant's shoulder looking condescendingly at her subjects.
"Have you drank the waters of Lethe, Jaybie? And crossed the bridge to the underworld? Would you still remember me?
"I’m sorry, I can’t join you yet. I need to stay here and finish what you started and find our son. Also, I want t o stay here and wait for your return."
A gust of wind rose from the ground, taking away the rustles of the autumn and welcoming the harsh cold o f winter.
Like winter, Angeline turned colder and colder as she waited.
Using ruthless and unsparing methods, she quickly forced the Titus, Bell, Ares, and Severe families into submission.
A few years later.
In a fishing village.
A woman was picking freshwater mussels by the river with a four-year-old child on her back. Several women gesticulated at her and said, "That’s her, the woman who picked up a wild man a few years back and married him. I heard that the man has also brought with him a man in a vegetative state. In the past few
years, she not only has to earn money to support her family but also has to take care of her useless husband. Her family drove her out because they were displeased with her."
"Well, you can't blame that useless man for having such good looks, can you? If I met a man like that, I'd pick him up and hide him in my house too," a young woman sneered, sounding like sour grapes. 1
The woman did not say anything and went home after picking a basket full of mussels.
The woman’s house was located at the end of the fishing village where there were only a few broken fenced houses. The houses were extremely shabby and would start leaking whenever the rain poured continuously, so pots and pans would be used to catch the rain.
When the woman came home, she started the fire dexterously and began cooking.
