ABOUT
HAVEN · SUMMER
A quiet place visited for inspiration, a refuge to catch one's breath away from the city.
Edmund Shenkmeier probably never thought he would be tied to such a small rural town when he made Haven his residence that summer.
But they say summer is the season of first love, don't they? Before the summer ended, he proposed to the dark-haired lady with whom he had frequently made eye contact among the swaying willow trees by the River Lomen, and the following year, he held a son in his arms who looked just like his wife.

‘Plant roses and apple trees in the garden, create an herb patch in the backyard, and make the rooms comfortable for travelers.’
LOSS · FEVER · LONDON
His wife, who often spoke of the house she wanted to live in with a smile, passed away after suffering from a fever of unknown cause. It was not uncommon at the time.
Shortly after losing his wife, young Hester also contracted the same fever. After suffering for three full days, their son miraculously survived just before the year's end.
As Hester grew, his father's absence was filled by the neighbors of Haven. The villagers took care of the sickly child, provided meals, and looked after the orphaned child as if he were their own.
Edmund, who was nothing more than a humble writer at the time, began to pour himself into his work as if possessed. Before long, he gradually began to gain recognition, and as his works gained popularity, his stays in London naturally became longer. The man who once had no decent work to his name became famous enough to earn a stable income, and a respectable two-story mansion was built on the hills of Haven.

PRESENT
Hester's Understanding of His Father
No one knows what Edmund thought as he watched his young son, who had been bedridden for three days immediately after losing his wife, but as Hester grew, he interpreted it as an escape from his loss. He never knew if it was true, as they had long stopped communicating.
However, his father never failed to send living expenses to his son in Haven whenever he was in London, and despite his pride in refusing the money, his son never left the mansion his father had built. Perhaps it was because there was still one part of him that could understand.

SETTING
ENGLAND · 16C
PERIODAPRIL 3RD, 1588
ENGLAND
TUDOR · ELIZABETHAN
In 1588, England was an era where the tensions following the Reformation and the social hierarchy still deeply permeated daily life. With the rapid growth of commerce, printing, and theater culture centered in London, a distinct contrast began to emerge between the quiet rural villages and the bustling city.
A society with a strict religious gaze on sin and lust, coexisting with the remnants of Catholicism within the established Anglican order; regulations on clothing, demeanor, and extravagance based on social class; and an era where theater was immensely popular. The theater, printing, and bookselling industries flourished, and ballads and sonnets were widely used. Hester's father was a playwright who rode the wave of the times.
Marketplaces and traveling troupes roamed the regions, and life rhythms were set by seasonal festivals like Pentecost and St. John's Day, and the ringing of church bells.

CREATOR NOTE
Anyway, since I came from modern times, I thought I could try various things, but I envisioned it as a healing escape story (without computers) where I could live quietly with a tsundere boyfriend I like in a place no one knows.
