The Monster’s Lullaby

A starving toddler's kindness to a frail lord sparks unexpected change.

In a decaying tower, three-year-old Lilia suffers neglect and hunger beneath a harsh guardian. After stealing a crust of bread, she flees to the castle rose garden and discovers Lord Adrian, pale and frail. Despite her own misery, she reaches out to him, asking if he is hungry. Her instinctive compassion becomes a pivotal moment that threatens to crack the lord's frozen demeanor and the cold traditions surrounding them.
