In the early morning, the young Belinda crawled out of bed, tucked the two little ones who had been sleeping in her arms back into the covers, smoothed down the blanket, and only then began preparing breakfast for the family.
Their family was one of the many pioneer immigrant families that followed Oliver to the Northern Territory, consisting of four members in total: her, her husband, and their two children.
The children were still young; the older one was no more than nine years old, and the younger was just five, both boys, in their energetic, mischievous age.
They were all Weiss people who came from the Weiss Duchy to Langton seeking a living a generation ago. Strictly speaking, Belinda was more of a Langton person than a Weiss person.
Of course, where someone is from doesn't matter much, and becoming a "real" Langton person isn't easy. Even though Belinda's family lived in Langton, they were still considered Weiss people by others.
