All I ever wanted out of life was to lead a simple yet happy one. I wanted a life where I could enjoy the comforts of home in a small cottage in Ordon Village. I had always dreamt of a husband that cared for and loved me unconditionally and the joy of raising children in the traditions that my father had taught me.

For a moment, I had believed that it would have been enough to do so, that my life was indeed made rich through them. Why then does my life now seem to be falling apart?
