"We must quickly pick up this girl and deliver her to the Black Tiger Clan! Otherwise, they will wipe out our entire clan!" The man at the head of the group said to the four men behind him, who were carrying a girl on their shoulders. Her hands and legs were tied tightly so that she would not escape from their grasp. Then the last of the four men asked, "But it's quite strange that our leader is going to hand over his own daughter to the Black Tiger Clan. Has he forgotten how cruel the leader of the Black Tiger Clan is and how many Clan girls he has killed to date! Why is he deliberately sending his own daughter to her death?"
Hearing the man's question, the man walking ahead of him said, "Maybe you're new and don't know about the Rabbit Clan. No one in Rabbit Clan likes this girl, not even her own father."
The last man was shocked to hear this. He couldn't understand why a father wouldn't like his own daughter. He asked the man, "But why doesn't the Sardar like his own daughter?"
Hearing his question, the other man replied, "The females of our Rabbit Clan are very beautiful and delicate, but the Chief's youngest daughter was ugly from birth. Whereas all her other older siblings are quite beautiful. Her ugliness is the reason she is disliked by everyone."
With that, he cast a disgusted glance at the girl lying on his shoulder and continued, "If it weren't for the Chieftain's order to deliver this girl to the Black Tiger Clan, I would never have touched her."
Hearing this, the first man questioned, "But isn't the Chieftain afraid that if the Black Tiger Clan sees this girl, he might become angry with the Rabbit Clan? This decision of his could endanger his entire clan."
Hearing this question, the man walking ahead of them all said, "No, the leader of the Black Tiger Clan has a huge scar on his face, which scares any girl who sees him and doesn't approach him. That's why the chieftain killed all those girls. That's why no clan wants to send any of their females to the chieftain of the Black Tiger Clan. When no other clan would send a female to him, the leader of the Black Tiger Clan finally asked our clan to send a female so that he could have an heir through her. But none of our clan's girls wanted to join that clan. So the chieftain decided to send his youngest daughter to the Black Tiger Clan so that she wouldn't offend the Black Tiger Clan, and he wouldn't have to see his ugly daughter every day. Now, all of you stop talking and hurry up. If we delay even a little bit in reaching the Black Tiger Clan, we could lose our lives."
Hearing the man's words, the men all began to walk quickly. However, they didn't notice that the girl on his shoulder, who had been unconscious until then, was slowly regaining consciousness. As she regained consciousness, the girl blinked slowly and looked around. She thought to herself, "Genia, why do you see everything so strange and upside down? Are you dreaming?"
She tried to reach her hands to her face, rubbing her eyes to wake up from the dream, but then she realised that her hands were tightly bound. Along with her hands, her legs were also tied together. Realising this, she screamed, "Who has tied my hands and legs?"
She vividly remembered someone tying her hands and feet while she was reading a romance novel in her apartment and falling asleep on the sofa. She wondered, "Is someone kidnapping me and tying me up so I can't escape?"
Now she understood why everything seemed upside down. Someone had kidnapped her, carried her on their shoulders, and brought her to some wooded area. She didn't know why she had been kidnapped or how long it had been. Thinking this, she quickly said, "Look, whoever you are, let me go. I don't have anything you can get from me. So kidnapping me won't do any good. It's better to let me go."
Hearing her words, the people carrying her realised that the girl, who had been unconscious until now, had now regained consciousness. Fearing that she might escape, they tried to scare her, saying, "Don't try to escape at all, because running away now will be of no use. Whether you have anything or not, our job is to hand you over to the Black Tiger Clan."
Hearing this, Genia said in surprise, "Black Tiger Clan, it seems you guys have gone mad. What is this Black Tiger Clan? Nothing like this happens. It seems you work in a drama company. What world are you guys living in?"
All the men were shocked to hear Genia's words. They couldn't understand what this girl was saying. Just then, the man walking ahead of them said, "It seems this girl has gone mad because of her head injury. You all should ignore her words and keep walking quietly! If we don't reach the Black Tiger Clan on time, they might kill us."
Hearing the man's words and sensing the Black Tiger Clan's fear, the men ignored Genia's words and continued walking silently. Seeing them paying no attention to her, Genia shouted to them, "I'm talking to all of you. Why aren't you paying attention?"
But even after she shouted, those people did not give any answer to Genia.
Seeing all this, Genia couldn't understand why these people weren't responding to her. She didn't know where they were taking her. How would she escape their grasp? Thinking about all this was making Genia anxious. At that very moment, a question came to her mind: "They just said I've gone mad because of a head injury! But I didn't have any head injury. So why are they all saying this?"
She was just thinking about this when memories began to flash through her mind. As Genia looked at them, she began to feel a distinct anger and hatred within her. This anger and hatred weren't her own, but rather the body that housed her soul. She wasn't in her own world, her own city, her own apartment, but in another world, another city, in someone else's body, someone with a name exactly like hers, but whose life was vastly different. That life was filled with pain, anger, hatred, and indifference. Feeling this brought tears to Genia's eyes.
But at that very moment, Genia asked herself, "But I was alive, then, while being alive, my soul came into someone else's body?"
She had so many questions, but no one was there to answer them. However, Genia's most important concern right now, rather than finding answers, was freeing herself from these men who were about to abandon her in a place inhabited by the most dangerous Beast Men, and who, on top of that, wanted her to have a child. Once she was in their hands, she would never be able to escape their grasp. But she couldn't understand how she would escape their grasp. Thinking for a long time, Genia realised something was wrong, and only then did she realise that she had a strong urge to go to the bathroom. If she waited a little longer, she might... Thinking this, she quickly said, "Please, let me go! I'm feeling a strong urge."
However, they paid her no attention. When Genia realised they weren't paying any attention, she decided to get her point across in another way. She quickly said, "If you guys don't pay attention to what I'm saying, I might just turn on you."
After hearing Genia speak, the people who were carrying her stopped where they were when they realised what she was trying to say. But they didn't want this girl to do anything to them. However, they didn't dare say anything to the person walking ahead of them. When the person walking in front realised that the people behind him had stopped where they were, he looked back and asked them, "Why are you all stuck behind? Come on, hurry up, or we'll be late!"
The man was walking a little ahead of them, so he didn't know what Genia had said to the men. One man quietly approached and told him everything Genia had said. After listening to the man, he signalled for Aditi to get down.
As soon as Genia was lowered, she breathed a sigh of relief. But her hands and feet were still bound, so she pleaded with them, "Untie my hands and feet! How am I going to go to the bathroom like this?"
Hearing this, the man signalled the men to untie their hands and legs and said to one man, "You go with her and make sure that he does not run away."
The man nodded and walked aside with Genia. Genia found a place to freshen up and said to the man accompanying her, "Stay away and wait for me."
However, the man said to her, "No, I won't leave you alone. If you run away, the Black Tiger Clan might even kill my companions and me!"
Hearing the man's words, Genia pointed towards a place and said, "Can you keep an eye on me from that place? Anyway, I have no intention of running away right now?"
She didn't want to run away and alert them. Instead, she wanted to win their trust and then escape. If she ran away now, who knows what wild animals she might encounter in this forest, or if she ran into people even worse than these, she would escape from one predicament and find herself in another.
