HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Charlotte was a sickly child. Her father was from Amberale but her mother wasn't. Her father was a wealthy merchant living in another kingdom and that was where he met her mother.

Because of Charlotte's weak health, her parents took her to Amberale at a very young age to stay with her grandfather who was also a merchant since Amberale was more conducive to her health. They would occasionally visit her, but she was closer to her grandfather.

She met George for the first time when she was three years old and he was seven years old. Their grandfathers were good friends and had brought them to meet each other.

She had smiled at him, happy to meet the stranger. She usually didn't meet much people outside of the ones she already knew. George only stared at her wordlessly without much expression on his face. That was their first meeting.
