Back on the mainland, the Grimsbanne clan — and everyone who lived in the forbidden forest — were indebted to the king of the mainland. Samael's entry on the said isolated island was first refused, but because of Tilly, he was able to live in the land with his family under the condition of not making any trouble.
His life at first on the mainland was tough. Not just for Samael, but for all of them, since the valuables they carried had no value in the said land.
Lilou had witnessed how her husband grind to give their children a better life. Using his skills and talent, Samael sold portraits and books, ignoring the disdain in those watchful eyes.
The person who recognized Samael's talent was the king, and because of him, everyone in the forbidden forest lived a better life. A normal life where there was peace and no fear of what tomorrow holds.
