Aldrich didn't understand what was wrong with him, but he was annoyed with Rion and Arina being together. As a friend who has known Rion for so long, Aldrich knows very well Rion's nature. Ever since being betrayed by Erica, Rion had never paid any attention to anyone.

     "Hey, what are you doing?" scolded Erland who rushed over while observing the look on Aldrich's face.

"Could it be... could it be that you're jealous of Rion and Arina's closeness?"

     Aldrich suddenly shook his head. If he is jealous, it means he has feelings for Arina, he doesn't want that to happen and ends up disappointing that girl.

     "I'm worried about Rion. If Arina really is a princess and Rion loves her, then he will definitely be hurt again because they won't be able to be together."

      Silva's grandmother was helping Arina change clothes in the room. She then helped Arina put on the pink dress she had just bought. The dress was so elegant and curved to fit Arina's body. The girl immediately liked it and thanked her.

     "Do you like Rion?" asked the woman suddenly.

     Arina was stunned for a moment then shook her head.

     "How can I like Rion? He's only helping me. Don't get wrong about the situation."

     The old woman stopped folding the white dress that Arina was wearing. She studied the girl's face.

     "I hope that's true. Since you are the princess, you must not fall in love with any of the three of them. After all they are your subordinates. Your position is much higher than them. If you love the wrong person, then the people will oppose you and tragedy may befall this country."

      Silva's grandmother's words made Arina stunned. Wherever caste and status are always separators. She often hears and reads stories of two people who love each other, but can't be together because of different statuses.

      Arina took a deep breath and nodded. She should have also realized that she was not from this world. She was different from them and should not be attached to the people who were in that place.

      "You must focus on training so that you can face the queen Solandra and her men. After that you must also ascend the throne and marry Prince Edward of the Valenta kingdom to strengthen your position."

       'What? Wedding? No. This shouldn't have happened!' The thought of marrying an unknown man haunts Arina's mind. Moreover, she was determined to return.

      "Don't think about marriage first, now the most important thing is to face the queen Solandra."

      Those words only slightly calmed Arina.

      'Maybe if they find out I'm not the princess they're looking for, then it'll all end or they'll just put me to death for deceiving them? What should I do? I don't want to die here. I have to go home no matter what!'

     At night, the atmosphere was quiet. Arina's eyes haven't closed since she entered the narrow room. She was waiting for the right time to leave quietly.

     Things remained quiet as she hurried out of the hut. The girl then walked down the path.

     'Where am I going? Other than this place, I don't even know where I'm going, but if I survive I may never come home again,' she thought to himself.

      The path the girl took turned out to be leading to the forest. Arina was doubtful whether she should move on. It was so quiet and the forest in front of her looked like a dark black hole. While she was contemplating, suddenly a black shadow grabbed her.

      In an instant the girl hovered above the ground. She felt very scared. A flying arrow whizzed by her ear and hit the creature's chest. Both fell from a height.

      Ariana's eyes were tightly shut. He wasn't prepared for the excruciating pain of her body hitting the ground. However, that didn't happen. Slowly the girl opened her eyes and met Aldrich's face.

      Arina still felt annoyed with that young man, but when she met Aldrich face to face, all of that seemed to disappear. Only feelings left that made Arina again swept away by Aldrich's figure. Aldrich himself couldn't stop staring at Arina. The girl's face, everything about her made him not want to let Arina go.

      "Is she okay?" scolded Rion who had just fought a black shadow figure with Erland. It turns out that their number is not just one, but much more. They even moved to surround. However, Rion and Erland were able to overcome them and eventually the shadow disappeared.

       "She's fine," replied Aldrich as he lowered Arina from his sling.

       Rion snorted.

"Fine, but she'd better think twice if she wants to run away again. What a hassle!" He said while inserting the sword to the sheath. That young man then hurried away just like that.

       "Don't take his words to heart," Erland said with a big laugh.

"Rion's always been like that. He acted like he didn't care. Actually he was the one who noticed you were gone and woke us up."

       Aldrich glared at Erland. He didn't want to be angry with his friend. After all what Erland said was the truth. It was Rion who knew about that girl's departure. Even Rion was the one who shot the black shadow that carried Arina because Aldrich had doubts. He was afraid that the arrows that were released would hurt Arina. At the same time, Rion was about to catch Arina who had fallen but when he saw many black shadows appearing to attack Arina, Rion chose to confront them and ordered Aldrich to catch Arina's body.

       Aldrich shook his head. He wouldn't tell Arina all that. He didn't want Arina to admire Rion instead.

      'I don't want to do this, Rion is my best friend, but I also don't want to see Arina prefer being with him over me.'

       Arina was busy cutting some plants. Earlier she asked Silva's grandmother and asked her to teach her how to cook. At first the woman objected, but Arina continued to insist. It seemed that she was afraid that Arina would leave again so she finally relented and granted the girl's request.

        Arina started to taste when the food had boiled.

       'It smells pretty good, I hope it tastes good too,' the girl said to herself. However, after tasting it, Arina just vomited it up

        'What is this dish? It feels really messy.'

        "You still have time to play around and do this?" said a voice. Arina turned and saw Rion standing in the doorway.

        "I'm not playing games. I cooked this to repay your kindness to save me," she answered with her hips.

         "Repay?" repeated Rion in a sarcastic tone.

"If you really want to return the favor, it's best to practice a lot of science and magic in self-defense. It's really troublesome to have to save a weakling like you all the time."

         Arina's eyes widened in anger. It really sucks. Should that young man just keep mocking her all the time?
