"Ha... so that's how it is," Lloyd muttered with a sigh.

She didn't heed his warnings at all.

"So she doesn't care even if she dies."

Vincent laughed at the sight of his brother who looked so stressed out.

Lloyd immediately headed to the main palace. He was thinking of visiting the grand duke since it seemed like he had finally gone crazy.

"What are you going to do?" Vincent asked.

"If he's really gone mad, then I'll have to snap him back to his senses."

Vincent followed Lloyd with a big smile.

"Let's go together, brother."

"Go away."

Even with the cold response, Vincent just laughed and followed him to the palace.

Then, they reached the entrance of the main palace which was blocked with a 'cage.' Or to be more precise, the 'wolf cage' and the 'jaguar cage.'

One would only be able to enter the palace through the cage. It served as a security filter to ensure the safety of the palace from intruders.

Lloyd opened the door to the jaguar cage without hesitation.

Then, a green meadow could be seen from beyond the 'cage.' It was an artificially created space that showed a flowing river, scenery of beautiful flowers, and herbivorous animals that were put in as food for the jaguars.

"I still can't get used to it even after passing here several times," Vincent frowned as he looked at his dirt-stained shoe.

"I don't know why I have to enter and exit the palace through this inefficient route."

As he lightly clicked his tongue and lifted his head, Vincent found out that Lloyd didn't listen to him at all. In fact, he was staring at something else.

'Hmm?'

Curious, Vincent turned his eyes to where his gaze was directed at.

Then, he came to see a rare sight he had never seen before in his entire life.

"What the hell is that..."

Rabbits, deer, larks, and squirrels were all gathered together. With the jaguars too!

The jaguars were lying idly on the grass while purring very loudly, even though they had food right in front of them.

And at the center was a child that had fallen asleep while leaning on the jaguar's back with a peaceful expression on her face.

'Oh my gosh.'

It was astonishing.

The morning sunlight flowed inside the cage, illuminating summer meadows and alpine slopes all the same. A radiant beam of light draped over her sleeping head as it painted her skin so warmly, and the dust that floated in the air was reflected in the sunlight as it shimmered like a golden light.

'A forest fairy?'

It didn't seem real. It felt like seeing an illustration from a fairy tale book.

'Invasive species.'

Siren.

The daughter of Count Cortez. The daughter of a Siren, who was never known to the public.

She was merely an empty shell that was sold by her own flesh and blood.
