The milk bun girl disappeared from his life just as quickly as she had appeared. No one knew of her existence except for him, and it was almost as if she had never been there at all.
However...
Occasionally when he was alone, he would look up at the sky in the distance and remember fragments of what the milk bun girl had said. He couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion in his dark eyes during those moments.
When it cto being her knight in shining armor, not only did he have to be romantic with his words but also have plenty of money. She loved living in places with large floor-to-ceiling windows, white wall carvings, high domes overheads, blue swimming pools and gardens filled with various flowers...

His father remained lazy yet strict while his mother always looked at him with worry etched into her expression.
This situation persisted until his twelfth birthday arrived.
Lauren had prepared for this day meticulously; waking up early that morning to get everything ready. Although not one who enjoyed crowds or attention drawn towards himself - he wouldn't go against what family wanted either way.
With both parents accompanying him - they celebrated what seemed like an incredibly happy birthday filled with surprises according to outsiders’ perspectives.
At the end of the birthday banquet, Lauren suddenly hugged him tightly.
It was an unusual strength, as if she wanted to turn her son back into a baby and cradle him in her arms again.
Lauren hadn't hugged him like this since he could walk on his own.
The young boy sensed something different and was about to ask when Lauren let go of him. She touched his hair, her eyes turning red but with a smile on her face. "Your father has something to tell you. Go find him." The boy found his father on the rooftop.
He stood at the edge of the rooftop, with a night sky full of stars above and a bustling city below.
The man in black had long hair and was tall and slender in the eyes of the twelve-year-old boy. He seemed unfathomable.
There were no extra emotions on his face, just a slight frown. "Mother cried." Father turned around to look at him with those sdark eyes that mirrored his own but without any light in them - only complexity hidden within them.

The young boy froze for a moment before answering hesitantly, "Not never having met someone but meeting someone yet not being qualified to have them?" As he spoke those words, something flew towards them from behind Father's back - it was a knife! The young boy caught it instinctively then stood there frozen for several seconds before finally regaining composure.
A knife specially prepared for him! It was an agreement between father and son that he would ask for this knife when he found the meaning of his life. The man turned and walked towards the door, "Get out, you won't make anything of yourself, don't cback." The young boy stood alone in the night wind for a long time, slowly clenching the knife in his hand. Eventually, he walked towards where the child had been taken away.
Three months later, Riddle Group Empire underwent a change of dynasty as a five-year-old girl ascended to the throne and began her thirteen-year iron-fisted rule.
That syear saw the rise of Dark Empire within Alliance territory. A twelve-year-old boy ventured into that bloody quagmire alone and embarked on a lifetunder suprdark emperor's authoritarian rule.
Two years later cEnforcement Court which established three major ironclad rules: all grudges within Dark Empire must not harm family members; no violence against minors or pregnant women is allowed! Another year passed by with all organizations involved in kidnapping children disappearing from Alliance territory. For over ten years since then there has been no reported case of abduction or trafficking.
The young boy gradually grew into a man but it seemed like that girl who had caught his eye during childhood was completely gone from his life. If nobody mentioned her nanymore even he thought that he had forgotten about her completely.
It wasn't until thirteen years later when a black-haired man dressed in black clothes happened to see that girl again outside Creephia Civil Affairs Bureau with her white dress fluttering around her slender figure and those mischievous eyes twinkling like stars at him while holding up red household registration book saying "Mister, do you want to get married? I'll treat you."
