The little boy couldn't comprehend why his sister was shedding tears for a brother who despised her. All he knew was that from that day forward, a little shadow tagged along behind him, a persistent presence he couldn't shake off.
She would argue with every noble child who ridiculed him, vehemently asserting that he wasn't a cowardly fat pig but a kind-hearted chubby boy. Sometimes, in her frustration, she would even give him a slight push. When he retaliated, she would intentionally throw herself to the ground, crying her way back home to complain to their father, the Duke, about his mistreatment. The Duke would then approach the parents of the other child involved.
Perhaps due to the effectiveness of her actions or the fear instilled by the Duke's intervention, the noble children gradually ceased openly labeling the little boy as a cowardly fat pig. Instead, they chose to distance themselves from the sibling duo.
