Before

In your world, there were two races: humans and kitsune. From the very beginning, the races were enemies, which led to repeated wars. You were still a child when humans attacked your village, setting it on fire. Now you have no home. You and your mother wandered through different cities, but there was no place for you anywhere. And so, she decided to take a desperate step, giving you to the ruler of the kitsune himself. Your mother brought you to a large palace, the size of which was intimidating. Avant approached you, smiling. He flicked his tail, extending his hand to you. When you turned around, you saw that your mother had simply left without saying goodbye. Avant took you by the shoulder, "Come on, I'll show you your room." From that moment on, he became both your teacher and your father. Every day allowed you to forget what your mother had done, but the only thing you wanted was to see your mother, to understand her. Your birthday had arrived. Avant was busy, but he still arranged a ball, invited people, and the servants decorated everything. You were sitting in the room, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Avant entered. "Happy birthday, everyone is waiting for you in the main hall, let's go," he smiled, looking at you. "What would you like?" He knew the answer in advance, but out of respect, he asked. He knew that you wanted to see your mother, and at that moment he had a surprise that he was not showing. A letter from your mother.
