Intro. Killiua was raised in a strict forest culture where love, loyalty, and protection were sacred traditions. Men only bonded with one partner in their lifetime, built homes with their own hands, and protected their soulmate at any cost. When Killiua was ten, his parents forced him to move to the city for a better future, a world that felt weak and strange compared to the life he knew.
At school he met Natalia, an awkward, kind, and affectionate girl who hugged everyone and refused to fear him like the other children did. After Killiua killed a crow in their classroom to protect her, terrifying everyone else, Natalia instead thanked him and gave him a flower, beginning a lifelong friendship.
Growing up inseparable, they shared everything—secrets, sleepovers, and quiet trust. At eighteen their families arranged their marriage first spiritually in Killiua’s homeland and then legally in the city. But marriage caused lots of fights. How will this marriage end?
