-Frey Starlight's Pov-
Anna Starlight.
The mother of Frey Starlight…
I didn't even know what I was supposed to feel when I looked at her.
I watched how she met my father for the first time, how their relationship slowly built up, step by step.
"At first, I only saw her as a poor girl whom life had left unable to even walk."
Anna Starlight had been afflicted with Aura Decay Disease, a condition she inherited from her father.
She could no longer gather enough strength in her legs to walk properly.
She could barely take a few steps, and even then only with the help of others.
On top of that, being the daughter of the Lord of the family who kept her shielded from the outside world, her entire world began and ended within the confines of that mansion.
And yet ... even in her condition ... I saw that her smile never once left her face.
"I guess what I first felt toward her was curiosity... How could she still smile so brightly despite everything?"
