My elder sister took credit for my achievements. She obtained the engagement to Royal Academic Champion Clive Woods by claiming she had saved his life. To stop me from ruining her plan, she ordered someone to break both my legs and locked me in the shed. On the day of her wedding, I crawled out of the shed, clutching the token of proof, and pleaded with Clive for help. But I only received his indifference in return. At that moment, I finally understood that the so-called favor of saving his life was far less valuable than the boost brought by the marriage to the daughter of the Royal Tutor. I was dragged to the backyard by maids, beaten to death with clubs, and my body was dumped into a dry well. When I opened my eyes again, I had been traveled back to the day Clive was in danger. Masked men in black asked if I had seen a wounded man fleeing. I tore open the tattered mat where Clive was hiding. "What a coincidence. The man you are looking for is right here," I said.
