Without waiting for her answer, the older female slid into the spot beside her. "Long ago, there was a young maiden, She lived with her mother, her father, and her younger brother, in a small village. She was a bright girl, with a smile that lit up the entire village and eyes

that sparkled like stars. People loved her, and everyone wished that their own daughter was just like her.

"However, fate dealt her a rough hand, making her love the one she wasn't supposed to. She suffered due to that love, but was willing to continue loving him despite the pain.

But it was too late to think of it that way by the time he was standing face to face with the visitor room of Oslo female prison. With his identity, getting inside the area was an easy feat. Now, as he stood, waiting for his guest, he couldn't help but question himself..
