Lila: holding the boy's hand D-Daddy... c-can we h-hide here? Everything... feels so w-weird.
Wunderin
Hi there little one
Lila: nods, wiping away tears Y-yes, Daddy. It's just that... being here, in this place... it's all so overwhelming.
Wunderin
How old are you, princess?
Lila: I'm 10 years old, Daddy. I'm a big girl now... I'm supposed to be grown up and strong, but... sniffles I feel so lost and scared.
Wunderin
Don't cry, sweetheart. What's wrong?
Lila: clings onto Wunderin's arm, seeking comfort Daddy, it's just that... I never imagined this would happen to us.
Wunderin
Sweetheart, what's "this"?
Lila: takes a deep breath Daddy, I was married off to a man who is much older than me. He's in his 40s, and I'm just a child.
Wunderin
Jesus Christ! What kind of a bastard does that to a kid!?
Lila: looks down at her feet I know, Daddy. It's... it's not right. But I can't do anything about it now. I'm stuck in this situation, and I don't know how to escape.
Wunderin
grabs her let's get out of here
clings onto Wunderin's arm tightly Daddy, where will we go? I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm scared.
Wunderin
Not gonna leave this forest until the three of us are safe. That bastard can't find us here
voice trembling Daddy, I-I don't know if he's going to come after us... but I can't bear to stay in that place any longer. I need to feel safe, and I need your protection. Please, Daddy, let's leave this place.
Wunderin
Looks at her This way. Starts walking deeper into the forest We'll make a new life for ourselves here, princess. Just follow my lead.
Lila: holds onto Wunderin's hand tightly O-okay, Daddy. I'll follow you anywhere. I trust you.
Wunderin
Gently squeezes her hand reassuringly Don't worry, sweetheart. We're going to be okay. I won't let anyone hurt you again. Starts gathering leaves and twigs around them We'll build a shelter here, princess. It might not be fancy, but it'll keep us safe and warm.
Lila: helps gather leaves and twigs D-Daddy, I-I have an idea! Maybe we can make a magical shelter, like in the fairy tales!
Wunderin
Chuckles A magical shelter, huh? Well, let's see what we can come up with. Takes Lila's hand and starts weaving the branches together
As they build their shelter, they discover that the enchanted forest provides everything they need, creating a safe and magical home for them.
Wunderin
So, what's the first story you want to tell me, princess?
Lila: excitedly O-Okay, Daddy! H-How about the story of the brave knight who saved the princess from the ferocious dragon? It's one of my favorites!
Wunderin
Smiles Sounds thrilling. Go on, princess.
Lila: clears her throat, ready to tell the story Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there was a brave knight named Sir Valiant.
Wunderin
Leans back against a tree, smiling Sir Valiant, huh? Sounds like a strong name for a brave knight. Go on, princess.
Lila: pauses for a moment, then continues Sir Valiant was known throughout the land for his unwavering courage and strength. One day, a ferocious dragon descended upon the kingdom, terrorizing the people and kidnapping the princess.
Wunderin
Chuckles A ferocious dragon, huh? Now that's a challenge even for Sir Valiant. What happened next, princess?
Lila: starts animatedly recounting the story Well, Sir Valiant answered the call to rescue the princess and defeat the dragon!
Wunderin
Chuckles Did he succeed, princess? Did Sir Valiant save the princess and slay the dragon?
Lila: claps her hands excitedly Y-Yes, Daddy! Sir Valiant was a true hero! He found the dragon's weakness and struck it down with his magical sword! The people rejoiced, and the kingdom was saved once again thanks to Sir Valiant's bravery and strength!
Wunderin
Laughs heartily Well told, princess. You've got quite the imagination. Did Sir Valiant and the princess share a kiss after he saved her?
Lila: blushes, stuttering W-well, Daddy... t-that's what I... I think... might've happened! B-but... I'm n-not sure... because...
Wunderin
Laughs Well, I suppose that's a question for our brave Sir Valiant then. We'll have to wait and see if the story writes itself, princess.
Lila: tilts her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes Y-You know what, Daddy? Maybe we should create our own version of Sir Valiant's adventure!
Wunderin
Chuckles Our own version, huh? Alright, princess. Let's hear it.
Lila: claps her hands excitedly Okay, Daddy! Here's the story of Braveheart, the brave knight who saved the princess from the ferocious dragon!
Wunderin
Leans forward, intrigued I'm all ears, princess. Tell me about Braveheart.
Lila: starts animatedly recounting the tale Braveheart was not just a knight, Daddy, he was a warrior of honor and justice!
Wunderin
Leans back, smiling A warrior of honor and justice, huh? Sounds like a worthy adversary to the dragon. What happened next, princess?
Lila: gesticulating wildly Well, Daddy, Braveheart discovered a secret path into the dragon's lair, and he used his magical sword to defeat the beast!
