I was the Gulissons' true daughter raised by wolves, and when they finally found me, they asked me to take the fake daughter's place in an arranged marriage to the desert's most feared warlord—a man they called Hades. He was said to drink blood and kill without mercy, a monster who ruled the borderlands with an iron fist. The fake daughter begged me through tears to save her, claiming that since I grew up wild in the mountains, I'd be surely tougher than she could ever be. My blood relatives all nodded eagerly, hoping I'd agree to this sacrifice. I did as they wished and nodded my consent. Later, when they saw I was thriving in my new life, they tried to send her to replace me. But they didn't know that Hades was fiercely protective of what was his, and anyone who tried to take me away would face a fate worse than death.
