Chương 44: Lonely Name

Laith was a lonely name. Lonely, because it had no family name attached to it, indicating that the person that carried it had no family to belong to.

In the pages of "Acme Fever," Laith emerged as a girl of twenty, orphaned from birth, whose existence unfolded within the confines of the Capital's squalid orphanage. There, she endured hunger, battled illnesses, and grappled with abject poverty, much like any other forsaken child.

At the tender age of fourteen, Laith's fate took a precarious turn as she was adopted by Earl Kemmerson, a man infamous for taking in talented and exceptional children, offering them a better life that tragically remained elusive. For most of his adopted children, life ended in baffling circumstances.
