The story opens in a sun‑kissed cottage where two sisters, Aria and Linde, tend a garden that bursts with roses, honeysuckle and countless wildflowers. After the sudden death of their guardian father and the earlier loss of their mother, the girls become orphaned in a remote valley, their only companions the plants their father taught them to love. Despite the hard‑hearted suggestion of the estate steward, they persist, selling fresh bouquets and forest berries at the market to keep their home alive.
Their bond with the land draws them toward the bordering woods, a place whispered about by neighbors but rarely explored. As the seasons turn, the sisters discover tiny, curious presences flitting among the lilies and moss, hinting that the forest may hold more than just shelter. These gentle encounters promise a quiet adventure that blends everyday struggle with the timeless wonder of the fairy realm.
