The carriage struggled through the heavy snowstorm. The rugged mountain road of Goa kept shaking the carriage. Inside, Ava was thrown against the carriage wall. She clutched her forehead. I'm on my way to my own wedding. A journey of nearly a month for a marriage arranged before I was born. The recent bump brought tears to her eyes. Leaning back, Avro thought blankly. This speciallyesed dress and lace gloves, even though Everyone around me is treating me with respect, these things still feel foreign to me. Because in reality, I'm not someone who gets treated like this. My father
abandoned us when I was young, and my mother, resentful of my father, drowned her sorrows in alcohol. Those were my parents, and I was simply forgotten. However, I should be grateful for this. At least I wasn't abandoned. But my mother always said she wanted to die. She completely collapsed just as She wished. However, I didn't have time to wallow in that luxurious sorrow. I had to live a life of responsibility for my mother. The web novel Taming the male lead. It helped me escape reality, even if only for a moment. A warrior overcomes his sorrow
and meets the novel's heroine. And in the end, everyone lived happily ever after. Like other novels, their love faced hardships. The male lead's parents died suddenly, and he was forced into an Arranged marriage from childhood to produce an heir. The novel's male lead, Aselos, was a natural talent. He quickly achieved the rank of archmitch, and his wife, Aan, was his partner in the arranged marriage. She struggled with magic. The closer she was to magic, the weaker her body became. However, no one knew the cause of her illness. Meanwhile, Aan was pregnant with Aselos's child. In
the end, she couldn't withstand the weight of the magic and Died along with her newborn child. Aselos went mad once again from losing his family, and then he met the heroine, Princess Andrea. She easily controlled Aselo's explosive magical power. That moment made his heart flutter. In this way, the two of them fell in love. Up to this point, it was just a normal romance novel, but the audience was constantly buzzing. Unlike his late wife, Avro, the princess is so bright and full of life. Unlike his old wife, Avro, the princess Is amazing. Unlike the evil
Avro, the princess is so kind. The problem was that the poor deceased Avro was constantly being compared to Andrea. She read through the comments, unable to contain her anger. Seriously, what the hell was Avro's fault? If that was the case, why didn't he just divorce her from the start? She was just a frail supporting character from beginning to end. Avoa was beloved by everyone. Avo isn't Welcomed anywhere just like me. She just wanted to be happy. Avoid. I fell asleep while thinking about this. Night began to fall over the palace. Distant flower petals danced and
fell, making the castle even more exquisite. That morning, a dazed Avro was led to the carriage by a servant. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a carriage. She wondered, "Wait, am I in Avo's body?" Before she could fully process it, the carriage sped off down the road. Recalling everything up to now, Avro's mind was a mess. I never thought I'd experience something like transmigration. I'm glad I remember the entire plot of this novel. First, I need to organize everything so I don't forget. Aan's past wasn't revealed in the original story, but Aselo's
childhood was briefly mentioned. So, what I need to do is one, console Asselos for losing his parents. Two, the first night we'll stay in separate rooms Because we're both too young. Three, make sure to find the arch mage who awakened Asel's magic. Four, the hostel monarchy is extremely dangerous. Five, Aan's body is very weak, so I must pay attention to my health. This is a place where even lords have died. Can I survive here? And finally, six, maintain a friendship with Aselos. After writing out the plan, Avro fell silent for a few seconds, then let
out a tired sigh. She was a little worried. I don't even know Aan's original personality. And what about Aselos? I heard they were engaged before they were born. Can I get through this without being discovered? The cold winter air turned her breath into a misty fog. Avo could only tell herself, "There's only one thing I must not forget. Never, never know. Never have a child with the male lead." She reminded herself with unwavering determination. The dark palace ahead was the hostel residence. Looking up at the palace Before her, Avro was a bit stunned. Looking at
the flag with that symbol, there's no mistaking it. What I saw on the way here was the desolate territory of Austel. This once rich land has become like this, probably because of the curse. The curse on the hostel territory began long ago, cast by an arch. In return, they themselves received a curse. Then the princess appeared and broke the archid's curse. In this land of Oel, warm golden snow Fell like sunlight, melting all the frozen areas. An ending where everyone was happy. But that ending doesn't include me. Whatever the reason for my transmigration, for me,
I have a reason to return to that world. So, I'll bring a secret weapon. The maid beside her was showering Avro with praise. My lady, you are so beautiful. Seeing the servants lined up in two long rows, bowing, made her feel a bit awkward. I can't get used to this. The pressure is so intense, I Can't even lift my head. As she looked up, she tensed. Has the male lead finally appeared? Aselos stood partially hidden behind the palace door. His smile was like a fresh breeze blowing over Avro, stunning her for a moment. What was
that? What was that feeling just now? His low voice called out softly. Avo, did you come to comfort me? I'm really happy. She froze, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. What? Asel's sudden embrace turned her to Stone. My body won't move. The strong scent of chrosanthemum, the wicked smile on his lips. It all started to make Avro tense and anxious. Like a premonition, his lifeless black eyes stared. He held out his hand and called to her affectionately, "Come here." It made her instinctively want to step back, but she seemed to remember her role. She immediately
placed her hand on Aselos. As they left, Avro couldn't help but wonder, "That's strange. Why isn't my Body moving as I want it to? Furthermore, it seems like everyone is very scared. Just then, a butler approached and bowed respectfully. Lady Avro, it's been a long time. I am Odin, the mansion's manager. She stared, thinking, "He really looks like a butler." But she still smiled brightly and replied, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Odin." Hearing this, he seemed a bit takenback. The smile on Aselo's lips also stiffened. The awkward atmosphere Confused Avro. Isn't this right? Shouldn't
I drop the formalities? She stiffly turned to him. Aselos, I'm a bit cold. He maintained his gentle demeanor and replied, "Is that so? Let's go inside, Avro." She obediently followed, still feeling uneasy. But this is really strange. Although everyone welcomed me, this strange coldness just keeps lingering. I think it's because of the marquee and his wife's death. I shouldn't pay too much attention to it. Aselos led her to an exquisitly decorated room. Here, this is the room you'll be staying in, Avro. Her eyes widened in astonishment. Avoided to feel dizzy. What is this? What's with
this bizarre pink room? Oh, no. This isn't the time for this. She hesitantly called out, "Um, Aselos, thank you so much for welcoming me like this." and about your parents. Before she could finish, Aselos cut her off flatly. That's enough. But Avro, why are you calling me Aselos? Avo Speechless. Wh what? He spoke angrily and bluntly. Because it's about my parents, I have to at least show you some concern. To me, you're just a cursed nuisance. The door between our rooms is locked, so don't even dream of entering my room. She was shocked and couldn't
understand. What is he talking about right now? He crossed his arms and gave her his most friendly smile to say, "And I hate you." Just so you know. Each word was like a large stone falling on Avro's head. Finished, Aselos left cheerfully, not forgetting to say goodbye. "So, good night, Avro, and don't hover around me." Her jaw dropped as she watched the door close. No. Can someone like him really exist? Avo clenched her fists, growing irritated. Can someone like him really exist? Hours later, she had another problem to face. No, but really, this pink room
is for real. Is that my bed? Where am I supposed to sleep? Her attention was Drawn to a stuffed doll. Avoar to herself, this thing. No matter how I look at it, it looks like Aselos. Could it be that, Avo? More than I thought. really liked Aselos a lot. Unfortunately, she died before receiving the love she desired. She picked up the doll, her mind still blink, even if I think about it. I can't stand that attitude. Avo threw the doll hard against the wall. Looking at it, she laughed mockingly. If he shows that kind Of
attitude again next time, I'll throw him against the wall just like that doll. Then she skipped away happily. Suddenly, the sound of the door opening startled her. Avo cautious. Who? Who is it? A maid entered and spoke politely. I am Ryu, the headmade. My lady, do you not remember me? She stiffened. Has she been standing outside the door this whole time? To smooth things over, Avro quickly said, "Of course I do. Please come in." She immediately replied, "Yes." And quickly shut the door. Her mind was filled with questions. Did I do something out of character
for Avro? She called from outside the door. You told me never to set foot in this room because I was ugly and lowly. Avo tried to explain. It's not entirely like that. She could only blame herself. You were so childish, Avro. She went to Rio and took her hand. Please come inside. It's cold out there. Avo surprised her. My lady, you've truly matured a lot in the Time we haven't seen each other. I'm sorry I'm rambling. Avo waved it off. No, not at all. She added emotionally, but really. Your late master would be so happy
to see you like this. Avo recalled the story, mentioned that Asel's parents were caught in an avalanche on Mount Zodia and lost their lives. Their deaths were summarized in a single line. Before, I felt nothing, but now thinking of them feels strange. She spoke with the most sincere voice she could muster. I understand. I miss him very much, too. Ryu looked up in amazement, her eyes welling with tears. Yes. Avoided her a handkerchief, guessing to herself that Aselos must be suffering a great deal from this sorrow. She declared with determination, "From now on, I will
change. In the future, you all will no longer have to cry. I promise, Ryu." Overcome with emotion, she burst into tears and hugged Avro. My lady. Avo smiled, wondering. It's finally working, Right? Ryu cried until her eyes were swollen. And only when she calmed down could she say, "My lady, I'm so sorry. I've acted improperly again." Outwardly, she brushed it off. It's all right. But inside, she felt helpless. My shirt's a little wet. I've changed now. Avo clasped her hands together and spoke hesitantly. I'm a bit curious and this might be a little strange. Could
you tell me what my past actions were like? I'll use that as a basis to change Myself starting now. She replied with great enthusiasm. I will tell you everything, my lady. Seeing Ryu agree, her eyes lit up. Yes, tell me everything. Suddenly, she remembered. But if I tell you, I might be dismissed for disrespect. She forced herself to agree. Then there's no other way. She couldn't help but doubt herself. Just how bad was I? Avoid it. You must be tired, too. Go get some rest, Ryu. She quickly replied, "Yes, my Lady." When she left, Avro
was alone in the room until night fell. Avo sat down on the bed and thought, "I'm so tired. Even so, I've learned a lot. Will I be able to do well from now on? Her eyes started to get hazy. She reminded herself, "I need to write this down in my notebook. I have to do it tomorrow." 20 minutes ago. In her dream, Avro relived the moment Aselos told her, "I hate you." You probably already knew that. The fireplace in his room was Still crackling. He sat leaning back in his chair, thinking, "This should be enough."
Although I was a bit harsh, I had to go this far to keep her quiet. A cacophony of sounds echoed in his ears, preventing Aselos from sleeping peacefully. He thought with annoyance. It's so noisy. My hearing is so sharp I can even hear the footsteps of animals outside the mansion. This is common among knights with developed physical abilities, but I hate it. Because of Abra's excessive love for me, I couldn't escape it. I've warned her many times, but nothing ever changes. The clamor made him so angry that a vein popped on his forehead. It's starting
again. He suddenly wondered with a start, why is it so quiet today? Is she hurt somewhere? If it weren't for my parents' will, I would never marry someone like her. Because marriage is essential to becoming the head of the family. I can't ask for an anolment. I can't let my Parents' family fall into the hands of relatives like those vultures. His hands clenched unconsciously. Aselos kept telling himself, "I just have to endure. Only I can. Compared to losing the family, this is easier. If I just ignore it, Avro's voice echoed in his ears, stopping him.
I understand. I miss him very much, too. From now on, I will change." All these words silenced him. But then Aselos became skeptical. What is she saying? Did I mishar from the Next room? Avo rang out again. In the future, you all will no longer have to cry. I promise. Aselos stood frozen in the dark room, listening to Avro's words. Go get some rest, Ryu. He couldn't believe it. This is crazy. Why am I focusing on Abro's words? He kept pushing himself. Don't be fooled. Those disgusting people have shown me that human nature doesn't change.
So Avro Aselos's eyes turned sharp and cold again. He affirmed, "I will never Believe you." Meanwhile, Avro was sitting at her desk writing intently. She paused, dazed. "This much should be enough. But why do my ears itch so much? Is Aselas cursing me?" A knock came from the door and she said, "Come in." A small, cheerful maid introduced herself. Greetings, my lady. I'm Senna, assigned as your personal maid, my lady, Ava said blankly. But I brought a maid with me. Senna kindly informed her she has returned to Roguechi. Ava was stunned. She went back that
way. Incredible. Suddenly, a thought struck her. Wait a minute. A newcomer might be easier to deal with. The family retainers know Avro too well. With that thought, she responded friendly. Senna, is it? I'm counting on you. Looking at Avro, her eyes were full of admiration as if struck by Cupid's arrow. She stepped forward enthusiastically. Yes, my lady. I'll make you the most beautiful and hustle. Lord Ascelos is Waiting to have his first meal with you. At the mention of his name, Avro became visibly awkward and couldn't believe it. Aselos is waiting for me. Come to
think of it, Avro is very extravagant. If I dress up too much, Aselos will hate it. She spoke to Senna awkwardly. Hey, just something simple will do. Hearing the request, she seemed surprised. What? I understand. After being dressed by the maid, she started to move. Walking out to the main hall, she noticed the person In front of her. Avo recognized him immediately. It was the mansion manager, Odin. Although he maintained a standard smile, his face was dark and stiff. She wondered, "What's wrong? Why does he look so annoyed?" It reminded me of a job interview.
It made Avo imagine the mansion manager, Odin, throwing down a challenge. She walked over and spoke cautiously. "Hello, Mr. Odin." He looked at her without a flicker of emotion and replied, "Yes." Avoision darkened. All Right. If this is some kind of interview, I'll show him what the interviewer wants. In my opinion, the talent the interviewer wants has unknown combat ability, is difficult, and has high loyalty to Aselos. Understanding this, she put on a smile and called out, "Odin you don't welcome me, do you? But my main goal is to strengthen the family's position." She asserted
to him, "I won't be childish or whiny like before. So I Need your help, Odin. She was pleased that she had expressed her opinion clearly and confidently. Avo looked at him sincerely and continued because I will become an excellent lady of this mansion. Odin looked at her deeply, finding it hard to speak. Finally, he bowed respectfully and replied, "Of course." Seeing that his attitude had changed somewhat made her happy. All right. I haven't been called my lady yet, but this is good enough. I just Need to build up my position like this. As soon as
she entered the dining room, Aselos spoke up. You're here. Ah, Avro. His cold, challenging gaze made her think. He's like a final boss. She forced a smile and nodded. Good morning, Aselos. She knew very well that Aselos must have heard her conversation with Odin, but his hostility towards her remained. She let out a sigh and sat down in the chair beside him. Her eyes started up to sneak a glance at him. Is This what it's like to judge someone by their face with such perfect beauty? Suddenly, Aselos turned his head and their eyes met. Avo
quickly turned away, pretending to cough. I probably stared too much. His deep voice rang out. Are you satisfied now, Avro? His fingers tapped lightly on the table. She turned to look at Aselos in surprise. His dark face was fixed on her and she wondered, "What is he talking about?" Asel's deep voice rang out. "Are you satisfied Now, Ava? You said that no matter what, I had to smile when I saw you." "Because if I didn't, you would tell my mother. But do you know why? Even though my mother is dead, I still smile at you."
Aro's eyes widened in shock. "What is this? My body won't move." He placed her hand to his lips and spoke each word without hesitation because I have to marry you to receive my title. Her body was frozen. Only her mind was in turmoil. My body is reacting on its own. This is the real Avro's reaction. His voice was a warning. Your existence is enough. So live quietly. Avo sat silently in her chair because she knew. I understand why Aselos is like this, but her hands clenched unconsciously. Anger was rising within her. How dare he insult
what I said to Odin and in front of all the servants too. Ava retorted coldly the title. That alone isn't enough. He slammed his hand on the table. What are you saying? She remained Calm, raising an eyebrow at him. Like I said, that's not enough. You have another important goal. She knew about the destiny passed down through generations of the hostel family. It was to break the curse on the territory. That destiny was also Assel's purpose to continue the family line according to his parents' will. She casually said while enjoying her meal, "I know how
to break the territory's curse." He immediately pressed, "How do You know that?" The piece of steak she was about to eat paused midair. She couldn't say she had read the novel. Avo coughed lightly and gave a vague answer. I overheard some adults saying that when we grew up someone would come to break it. Of course, Aselos replied bluntly, "Nonsense." Hearing him say that, she understood. "Yes, even I wouldn't believe this, but it's the truth." He arrogantly turned his head away. "It seems you want my Attention this way." Her voice was full of ease about that.
If we find someone we like, let's get a divorce. His expression immediately turned ugly as he looked at Avro in disbelief. Aselos asked hesitantly, "Are you serious?" She replied without a moment's hesitation. "Yes, so I hope we don't have an air." After she finished, Avro carefully watched his expression, guessing to herself, saying, "This much should be fine." As soon as she turned, she was Shocked. His face flushed red with embarrassment as he stammered. "An air? That's too much, Avo. She couldn't understand Asel's attitude at this moment. She stiffened and told herself, "Maybe I went a
little too far." Avo chose her words carefully to reassure him. I'll be more careful next time. After the meal, she returned to her room. As soon as she entered, Senna joyfully hugged her. "My lady, you were so cool just now." Avoidly studied her. "Was I?" Suddenly, someone spoke up. Lady Avro, I am Odin. Could you come to the reception room for a moment to prepare for the handover of the mansion's management? Hearing his voice, Senna quickly pulled away from Avro. Her eyes welled with tears as she whispered, "My lady, Lord Odin is very scary." She
thought to herself, "I'm a master, too. How scary can he be?" The moment she stepped into the study, Avro's fantasy shattered. That thought, I take It back. She pointed at the towering pile of books and called out hesitantly, "Hey, Odin." He enthusiastically gestured to her. This is a necessary process to become a perfect lady. Let's begin. Avoc, though her mind was screaming, "Why is there so much to do?" It wasn't until late at night that she finished processing all those books. She managed to mumble, working from morning till night without a break. Isn't this just
An overtime office worker? The moment Odin said, "You can stop there," she immediately dropped her pen. He looked at her, his attitude becoming more sincere. You've changed a lot. It's like you're a different person, my lady. Avoered when she heard him say that. Returning to her room, she stretched out on the bed and sighed with relief. Her voice was a soft complaint. That was such a long day of work, but being acknowledged feels really good. Suddenly, Senna called her. My lady, the master has come to see you. Avoidly got out of bed and replied flatly,
"All right, I'm coming." She stepped out and tilted her head slightly, "What brings you here?" Aselos held a stack of papers and said hesitantly, "There's something to discuss about the wedding ceremony." The air became awkward. Avo knew it was because of what happened earlier. How embarrassing. Her voice was flat as she took the initiative. It's not good to Stand outside. So, would you like to come in? Inside, she was unconcerned, telling herself, "If you don't want to, then don't." Avo crossed her arms and thought, "There's something I realized from that situation just now." Although she
said gently, "I won't do anything to you. Don't worry." She knew in her heart that Ascelos hated her. Aselos's face showed clear suspicion. "Avo, are you not feeling well?" She made up an excuse. "Not at all. I just don't want To act like a child." Avo suddenly realized, "And when I touched Aselos, my body freezes up." His hand hovered in midair, not knowing where to put it. She wondered, "Or maybe it's Avro's body's reaction." Aselo's voice softened as he called. Avo, I'm sorry about this afternoon. Her eyes widened in surprise. He gently stroked her hair.
He said sincerely, I think I went a little too far. Also, the documents you organized were really well done. Because Of that, my workload has decreased. Thank you, Avro. Avo stiffened again. Just a touch to my hair and I can't move. Then he continued hesitantly. Be but I can do that much myself. These are the cataloges. Look at them if you want. Aselos quickly shoved the book into her hands and left in a hurry. Avo laugh. Maybe he doesn't hate me that much after all. She returned to her room and told herself, "Well, then I
should take a look at the catalogs. They are quite Beautiful." The collection of wedding dresses inside made her exclaim, "So beautiful." Just a glance was enough to tell they were high-end, and all of them were my style. But what if they don't suit me? I haven't even had a proper look at myself as a supporting character. I don't have high expectations for my appearance. As she stood before the mirror and looked at herself for a moment, Avro had to stop. Huh? Th This is gorgeous. Bright pink Hair and fresh blue eyes, skin as white and
smooth as milk, and flawless plum colored lips. If being beautiful is a crime, then I'm on death row. I'm going to dress up so beautifully. Just you watch, Avro. In Asel's study, he was sitting and flipping through the pages of a book. But his mind was wandering. When Odin said I just needed to approve it, I didn't believe him. With Avro's extravagance, we'd be bankrupt in no time. But those documents Were so perfect it made me doubt if Avo actually did them. Aselos recalled his words. Please be gentle with her ladies. She must be feeling
lonely in such a strange place. She must be feeling lonely in such a strange place. Then the moment he had gently kissed Avro's hair flashed in his mind, making Assel's face turned bright red. He quickly shook the image away. His mind started to get tangled. I only meant to pat her head and praise her, but I don't Know why. She avoided my hand. I thought she would like it a lot. Or does she not like me anymore? He heard Avro exclaim, "So beautiful." Hearing that, he smirked smuggly. "Oh, what's this?" She's probably holding that doll
and making a weird face. Aselos imagined all the scenes where she might do on it, saying, "Look, Assel, isn't it cute and adorable?" Of course, Assel is hundred a thousand times more handsome than the doll. He dismissed the thought. Cute and Adorable? I don't like it at all. I'm a northern man. I should be strong and elegant. The next words she shouted made Aselos freeze. I'm going to dress up so beautifully. Just you watch. Avo. He suddenly realized, huh? This she's not talking about me. How embarrassing. A new day began and Avo was full of
energy. Last night, I picked out a dress I liked and had a great sleep. Looking over at Ascelos, whose expression wasn't so good. She pouted and wondered, "Why Is he like that?" "Oh well, I won't pay attention to it anymore." Then he called out, "Avo." Her heart was calm. Just as I thought that, he started a conversation. He pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing." Avoided to lose her patience, but only dared to scold him in her mind. this kid. Odin had become friendlier with her and cheerfully approached to ask, "You seem happy, my lady."
She smiled brightly in response. "That's right. I'm very happy Today." But Aselo's expression wasn't as happy as theirs. Finally, he stood up and flatly made an excuse. "I have something to handle this morning, so I'll be going." Avo watched him leave and thought with concern, "Is something wrong?" Then again, when is he ever happy? Then he added, "I also have to maintain Maldiosha, which made her pause." Maldiosha. That's where Aselos first meets the great sage. I should go with him to find that person. With that, She called out, "Hey, Odin," I also before Avo could
finish her request, his voice turned cold and replied, "You cannot." Ryu, who had just brought in food, also whispered to her, "That's right, my lady. Absolutely not. That's where man-eating monsters live. Avo stunned. What? I understand. But in her heart, she hadn't given up. Although it's not time for the sea monster to appear yet, I should still search quickly. Suddenly, the dining table in Front of her shook. Avoiced it, too. Just now, the table seemed to shake a little. It wasn't an illusion. Suddenly, a guard from outside frantically warned. Urgent. There's urgent news. Odin rushed
out. Urgent? What's the matter? He hastily reported. Mr. Manager, there's a report from the East Coast. That there's a giant creature. These words directly made Avo freeze. Avo turned pale as she heard their conversation. The monster has already appeared. Ryu beside her Also started to get scared. This news terrified her and all the servants inside. Her eyes flickered with astonishment. Ryu beside her kept calling my lady. Please come to your senses and take cover. Hurry. Only then did she remember. That's right. Aselos isn't the only master here. I'm a master, too. The guards outside shouted.
Run quickly. Avoided she had to protect them. She quickly regained her composure. Everyone protect your heads And get under the dining table. If you can't all fit, large furniture will do. Suddenly, Aselos's hurried voice called out, "Avo!" She quickly tried to stop him. "Aselos, it's dangerous. Don't come here." His face was filled with worry as he shouted, "Get out of the way." For a moment, she stood there stunned. "What?" The chandelier on the ceiling had started to sway. Avo shock. Aselos managed to dash forward, grab her, and pull her away. The Shattered glass fragments glittered
before her eyes. Avo. She didn't understand what was happening. Did Aselos save me? Avo stammered out, "Thank you, Aselos. It seems the earthquake has stopped. What a relief." His voice was no longer calm as he shouted. "Relief, Avro" veins bulged on his face and his shoulders trembled. Aselo's eyes blazed. How can he say it's a relief? Why was the person who needed to hide the most giving orders to the Servants? You could have been. Let's go. He decisively took Avro's hand while her mind screamed, "Don't get so close." She blurted out, "So handsome. Now it
was his turn to be stunned." "What?" Avo exclaim, "You're handsome even when you're angry." Suddenly, she realized what she'd just done and silently wept. What am I saying? It's Avo again. But Aselos still gently held her hand. Come here, Avo. Her eyes lit up. He gently reassured her. If you're Scared, hold my hand. It's safe now, so don't worry. In that moment, it was like a flash of light shot through her heart. He draped his coat over her and gently promised, "I will definitely protect you." Avoir. The strong scent of chrysanthemum filled her nose. Aselos,
you did you just visit your parents? I should have visited at least once since I arrived. She bowed her head slightly and said in a small voice, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being So careless about your parents." He asked with concern, "Is that the issue now? If this happens again, I won't let it slide." Then he turned and said harshly, "All the servants will be punished. How dare they let you stay there while they hid first?" Avo tried to explain. I told them to hide first, but he wouldn't listen regardless. She looked around the room,
assessing the damage. It will take a long time to get this back to how it was. The maids Timidly returned and said, "My lady, thank you for what you did." The guards also enthusiastically affirmed, "My lady, we will definitely protect you." Avo realized that since that day, the way they treated her had completely changed. They used to avoid me. It's completely different from when I first arrived. Aselos is establishing military discipline. Just then, Senna approached. My lady. Seeing her, Avro asked gently. Senna, is there something you want to Talk about? Her expression was heavy as
she struggled to speak. Well, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Senna rung her apron anxiously. What should I do? we might not be able to have the wedding. For a moment, Ava was lost in thought for a few seconds. Avo remained calm and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Senna was so worried she was about to cry. "My lady, it's because of this earthquake, all of Austel's roads are blocked. So, for a While, there will be no ships carrying resources." Avo replied in a light tone, "Is that so? We need to ensure we have enough
food and resources during the isolation. First, we need to send the marriage certificate to the Imperial Palace. Senna was momentarily takenback. Avo mentally calculated, if the marriage certificate is sent to the Imperial Palace and confirmed, at least Aselos will be recognized as the heir to the family. With that, she quickly turned Away. We also need to grasp the scale of the damage, so we must hurry. Senna still asked with concern. You can't have the wedding anymore. Are you okay with that? Avo turned her head and smiled. How can I hold a wedding while ignoring people
who need help? She knew her lady was surely the saddest, but she was thinking of the people of the domain first. A large bouquet of roses was quickly thrust into her hands. Senna explained, "This is a gift from the Master to you." She looked closely at the bouquet. The flowers were made of paper and they were adorned with beads all around. Avo cheeks turned slightly red. Her heart grew warmer. I can feel Aselo's sentiment. A little husband's comfort for his little bride who couldn't have her wedding. If the situation improves, I'll choose an even more
beautiful wedding dress. In the palace's audience chamber, Aselos's paced back and forth anxiously. The Situation is more serious than I thought. Because of one monster, the entire kingdom is shaken. Oel is surrounded by the sea and has been isolated from the outside world. Avo. She was so happy thinking she could wear a beautiful dress. For some reason, Avro's image over overlapped with his parents and he reached out his hand without realizing it. He was afraid of losing the people around him again. I don't hate her like I used to. I used to Think people couldn't
change, but Avro's gentle smile naturally came to his mind. I will work as hard as you have, Avo. Avo tilted her head slightly and asked, "Aselos won't be eating with me today either." Senna bowed her head slightly and smiled. "No, he will be eating with you today." She forced herself to continue. "Aselos looks very busy lately." Senna could only smile and reply vaguely, "You are too, my lady." She thought to herself, "As the lady of The mansion, there are many things to manage, so it's very busy. If Odin and Ryu hadn't helped, I probably wouldn't
have finished. Looking at the dress in the gift box, Avro couldn't help but scream internally. It's so luxurious. I wanted to repay Ascelos, so I used the beads from the paper bouquet to make this, but what if he doesn't like it? I don't know if this picky young master will be satisfied, but it can serve as a substitute for wedding rings. Avo Hesitated. Or maybe I shouldn't give it to him. But Senna encouraged her, "You made it yourself while thinking of the master. He will surely like it." Hearing that, she told herself, "Let's give it
a try." Then Avro requested of Senna, "Today I want to wear this." In the dining room, a servant respectfully announced, "Her lady ship has arrived." Hearing that, Aselo's eyes showed clear joy. Avo. But when she appeared, his eyes filled With surprise. Avo in an exquisite and radiant dress walked over. Good morning, Asshel. I tried on the dress you gave me. How do I look? He shily turned away and stammered. Huh? Oh, no. It's beautiful. A little inside. Aselos was screaming. I'm going crazy. Why does Avo look so beautiful today? She sat down and secretly glanced
at his expression. Avo nervously clasped together. So, it doesn't suit me. He's not even looking this way. He's not saying anything else. Suddenly, they both turned at the same time and said, "Hey." She spoke softly, yielding, "You go first." Aselos bowed his head and spoke awkwardly. "I'm sorry for not telling you sooner." "You must have been looking forward to the wedding, but it got cancelled." Seeing his sad expression, Avro wondered, "Is it that big of a deal? I'm really fine. I just wanted to say thank you for the gift. How can I convey my feelings
completely? No words would come out. She Stood up and suggested, "Asshole. Let's talk in the back garden later." He smiled lightly and quickly agreed. "All right." She gave a small farewell, then I'll go first. You can come later. Aselos unknowingly broke into a radiant smile, but his heart had frozen. Why isn't she saying anything about the wedding? He had already imagined every scenario in his head. Aselo's imaginary drama. How dare you cancel the wedding? I'm going home. The marriage certificate Has already been sent. Does she want to go back to Rochi? He imagined her with
a nonchalant expression, waving goodbye. Bye-bye, Baron Land. I'm leaving. Aselos worriedly wondered. Were my two apologies not enough? Odin asked helplessly. Are you going, Master? He replied, still lost in his daydream. Okay. He left, his mind still full of thoughts. Is there something she couldn't say in the dining room? Why am I so anxious? Calm down. Although she's Changed a bit, she's still Avro. Just then, she turned back and spoke gently. You're here, Assel. It was like a fresh breeze blew over him. Aselos shily avoided her gaze. Yeah. What did you want to talk about?
He realized it was clearly my misjudgment. I thought I was the one who knew her best, but now I don't know anything anymore. Avoid him sincerely. You must be very busy. Thank you for the gift, Assel. It can't compare to your gift, but I made rings. Asel's lips parted. You made them yourself? She said shily. They're just rings made from beads. Her heart was in turmoil. Why am I trembling so much? Is this just Avo's body reacting? She innocently told him, "I use the beads from the bouquet to make them as a substitute for wedding
rings. If you don't like it," Before Avro could finish, he quickly shouted, "I do. I do like it." She looked at Aselos's intently. "Do you like it?" He carefully Opened the ring box. His cheeks flushed slightly as he looked at the pair of rings in the box. Aselo's voice softened. "Yeah, they're really beautiful. Thank you." He turned back, his eyes looking a little vulnerable. He asked Avro expectantly, "So, we're really getting married, right?" She felt a bit concerned. "We are, but he had already quickly taken her hand." Asel's voice was sincere. I hope for your
help, Avro. Her heart suddenly Fluttered. There were no magnificent vows or guests, but we exchanged rings and held a small wedding just for the two of us. Back in her room, Avro breathed a sigh of relief. At least I've become friends with Asel now. Senna eagerly approached. My lady, the master has come to see you. This time, she replied with full spirit. I'm coming right now. She stepped out and spoke gently, Let's go. Outside, white snow covered the pine forest. Avo Reminded herself. Now that I've officially inherited the hostel family, I must go pay my
respects. What does it feel like to visit the graves of parents you've lost? It's a terrible thought, but it's not like I've never experienced it. I also have a mother in the hospital. This child had to go through the sorrow at such a young age. Aselos looked at his parents' grave and said tremblingly, "I will live happily, and I will complete the work you two left Unfinished. Definitely your strength will help you. His words made her pray along with him. Me too. I will also take good care of Aselos. I hope you will both watch
over us. He looked at Avro thoughtfully. Who's protecting whom? For the sake of others. You almost got hurt yourself. You're so foolish. Aselos gently called her. Let's go back. Aro. Back at the palace. He asked with concern. You must be tired. Why don't you go to your room and rest? Is there Anything else you want to talk to me about? She took a sip of tea and said in a low voice, I feel we shouldn't delay any longer. Her heart sank a little. After visiting the graves, I keep thinking about my mother who was left
all alone to go back. The novel probably has to end, so I need to find that person quickly. Avo spoke to him with determination. Let me go to Mount Yosha. As the lady of Ostel, I think it's necessary to survey the territory. After Hearing this request, Aselos pondered for a moment. He looked at her with an indescribable expression. After a moment, he coaxed her in a gentle voice. Avoid did you come here just to say that? She felt a little anxious. If he refuses, what other reason can I give? Aselos was a little sad. Only
when she says something like this does she look me in the eye. He said gently, "Let's go tomorrow." Her eyes lit up. "Really?" She suddenly realized the distance Between them was too close. She quickly backed away. "Too close. That was a close call." His face flushed red. I'm only going because I have business there, so don't expect too much. In return, promise me you'll stick close to me. Avo looked at him impressed. He's completely red. Can a person's face get that red? She asked with concern. Asel, are you not feeling well? Your face is very
red. These words directly turned him to stone. Aselos quickly ordered, go To your room. Go to sleep. Watching the door slam shut, she felt helpless. What? I didn't do anything. Is this puberty? Well, anyway, I've taken a step forward. The cavalry lined up in a long row, riding together on the snowy road. They arrived, and she thought with relief. It's good that we made it to Mount Osha. Everyone's face was bright with smiles. Avo stood between the two rows of soldiers, feeling a bit tense. Why are there so many nights? She remembered Aselo's warning when
she got out of the carriage. It's a man-eating mountain, so don't even think about getting close. But to find the great sage, I need to go up. I probably won't find him at the mountains entrance. Is there any way? While she was hesitating, a night approached. My lady, you must be very disappointed that this outing is not a date, right? Her cheeks turned slightly pink, and for a moment, she was speechless. Avo smiled gently and Explained to him, "We're just friends. It's not like that." The eight nearby knights froze. Huh? They turned and whispered to
each other. That's not what we heard, right? But the master said, she noticed them. Looking again. All the knights are so tall and strong. While they were hesitating, she spoke up again. With such strong knights accompanying me, would it be all right to go up a little? The row of knights could only force a smile and refuse. Not At all, my lady. The master is stronger than all of us combined. Avo exclaimed in shock. I can't believe it. A child so small and frail. That's an unimaginable statement. They explained kindly. You might feel that way
because the master is still in his growth phase. But if he continues to grow like this, he will surely become very handsome and strong. Her face was full of doubt. Aselos. Handsome and strong. By then, you will see a different master than he is now. Aselos appeared like a ghost behind her. I think I heard my name. When the knights saw him, they immediately slipped away. Well, we'll be going then, leaving her there alone with a pale face. Why did you leave already? Avoidly replied, "I was just saying that as long as you're with me,
it's fine. It's nothing." He shily stammered. "That's not so bad, but I'm still not at ease." She pouted and thought, "He still doesn't trust me and won't let me go up The mountain." Just then, Aselos continued, "Also." He wrapped his thick cloak around Avro. He chided her slightly. "It's so cold. Why are you dressed so lightly?" Seeing him give her his cloak. She felt a little worried. But then, Assel will be cold, too. He avoided Abra's gaze and said, "Stupid. I'm fine. I'm a strong northern man." At this point, she pouted and pleaded, but Assel
just a little bit. I want to go up Miosha, but he firmly replied, "No, you Can't." She didn't give up. But if I'm with you, Aselos remained firm. No. Even if she asked again or with more nights, she received the same answer. "No, I told you it's a man-eating mountain." The carriage was parked amidst the heavy falling snow. The line of carriages moved slowly along the road in a group. Islet stood silently on a high place, looking down. Avo hide the sadness in her heart. In the end, I gained nothing. Even Aselos had to be
that cautious. Maybe I underestimated it because I only read about it in a novel. So, how do I meet the great sage now? Come to think of it, I still haven't returned his cloak. And Aselos is even riding a horse. She immediately looked out the window and said to the knight beside her, "Hey, can you call Aselos for me?" He replied, "The master is riding ahead and is about to split off for maintenance work." These words were like a thunderclap, making Avro even more Anxious. What should I do? Looking again, this cloak is quite worn
out. I want to take good care of him while I'm still by his side. With that, she said, "In that case, returning to the magnificent town under the cold snowflakes, she looked around with wide eyes. So this is the shopping district of Austel. I have to take this chance to buy new clothes for Aselos." The shop owner greeted them warmly, "Please come in." Avo gently, "I want to buy new Clothes for my husband. Could you help me?" The moment he saw her, the shop owner was startled. "Isn't this the Martianist?" Seeing that he recognized her
so quickly, she guessed it was probably because of her unusual hair color. The shop owner, seeing her, continuously promoted his shop. It's an honor to have you visit. We are a third generation. The knight standing outside called out with concern, my lady. It seems you've bought too much, she Thought. Aselos often has to go to dangerous places, so his clothes need to be sturdy. The knight said helplessly, let me carry that for you. Avo happily handed them over. Thank you. With my long experience working in a clothing store, I only chose clothes that were sturdy
and warm. And while walking through the town, I discovered that because the main route is blocked, finding fresh food is quite difficult. I haven't found any trace of the great Sage yet, but I'll try to manage in the meantime. Avo suddenly stopped as she was still wondering, "What is that sound?" A second later, she realized with surprise that's a small black rabbit jumped over the wall, surprising Avro. It's a rabbit. It's so cute. So uniquely cute that it didn't feel out of place. Avo, but why is there a rabbit here? The environment of Austel is
so harsh that even demonic beasts have a hard time living here, so it's even more Difficult for small animals to survive. Suddenly, she remembered a passage from the novel. The great sage often takes the form of a rabbit. The great sage often. I'm not sure if this rabbit is the great sage, but I have to try. Seeing the rabbit run off, she chased after it, and the servant reminded her, "My lady, running like that is dangerous, my lady." As she ran, she thought, "If you are who I think you are, if you are the great
sage, then you Can save this world. I also have yet to be able to return." The servant was still chasing her, "My lady, it definitely went this way." Aro exclaimed, "I finally found it." I smelled something strange, so I came to check. The rabbit suddenly vanished. In its place was a handsome man with ice cold eyes, his hand gripping her neck. "It seems you know me," said the great sage eyelet. "I have no ill intentions. You expect me to believe that? You're Not from around here. This is quite interesting. What's your reason for chasing me?"
Avo straight into his sharp eyes and replied without hesitation, "Please help me, Islet." He smiled. "You're bolder than I thought." She looked at him with pleading eyes. I really need you. As the great sage, Islet knew a lot about the world. In other words, he was bored with predictable things. So, I have to make an impression first. I let looked at the Girl before him with amusement and asked, "What do I get?" Avoir. A cozy home, delicious and balanced meals with high quality hay and fresh clean vegetables, and even sweet fruit snacks provided whenever you
want. You're kidding. She cut him off. Finally, I'll introduce you to a disciple with outstanding abilities. You need a disciple. The word disciple made Isa's face darken. How do you know? She thought the great sage was cursed for Cursing humans. This person is a complex character. It's unclear if he's friend or foe. Because he's the one who cursed Oel and at the same time, he's Asel's master. He probably won't kill me just for knowing too much. This person has a duty to teach the one with the strongest magic to grant magic to humanity. And Aselos
is the right person. Islet smirked. Interesting. Both you and I will die if we stay by the Austel child's side. Did you know that? She Replied, I know my situation. Islet's face turned cold. Even the fact that I hate Oel, including everything about the one who betrayed me. Aselos thought betrayal. She stammered in reply. I only know what I just said. He smiled lightly. Of course, because you only know that much. You're asking for my help. I don't have the strength to teach a disciple right now. And I will kill you. Even if you survive,
my curse will only be broken then. That statement made Her tremble with fear. Before the magnificent palace, it was clearly a dead end. She suddenly disappeared. Aselos was furious upon hearing his subordinates report. You? What are you talking about? She wore a dress and shoes like Avro. She distracted you and then disappeared. The subordinates could only bow their heads and accept the blame. We are truly sorry. Aselos went mad. Find her. All of you. Just then, a sobbing servant ran up and called out, "Master, my lady, we found her lady ship." Hearing those words, Aselos
was so relieved he shed tears. Aselos ran as fast as he could to find his lady. He threw open the door and shouted Avro. His action completely surprised her. Aselos. He quickly ran over and embraced. He grabbed her leg, startling her. "You fool! I was so worried. I thought you had really disappeared." She thought to herself, "He must have been panicked when I suddenly disappeared. It Wasn't intentional, but in Aselo's eyes right now, there was only her. I'm glad you've returned safely. You should rest. I'll be going now." Her trembling hands finally rose. "Wait, Assel."
Avo grabbed the back of his shirt and gently rested her head on it. "I'm sorry for scaring you." Aselos took her hand and slowly turned his head. Avo, I really don't want to lose anyone else, especially. The somewhat ambiguous action made her sigh internally. So Close. Seeing this, he could only say, "Get some rest, Avo." Aselos, with a lingering look, stepped out of the room, leaving Avro sitting stunned on the bed. "Asel." As soon as the door closed, he slumped down and held his head in his hands. The emotions I felt when I heard she
had disappeared. And when I saw her again, what were they? Anger, resentment, regret, or relief and joy. But the thing that hurt me more than all those emotions was the fear of never Being able to see her again. But why? A political marriage that will be enulled when we grow up. A marriage without a shred of emotion. Because in that situation to become the family head I needed to marry into a prestigious family and Avro had feelings for me. She was a suitable marriage partner. So I did it. The person who was always childish has
changed since that day. Images of her in various states flashed through his mind because I will become a Perfect lady of the house. Let's be friends. From now on, you all will no longer have to cry. Everyone protect your heads and get under the dining table. A mature, calm, and sharp attitude that makes one feel ashamed. Her image has completely changed from the past when she only knew how to receive, not give love. Aselos suddenly seemed to realize something. He unconsciously said, "Or is it because of me?" Whether it's giving up the things She enjoyed
or suddenly becoming the lady of the family, if the reason for everything is me, then the source of my fear would be regret. Then once again, he fell into an endless stream of thought. Images of her flickered in his mind again and again. Asel. And that's also the reason I don't want to lose her. Asel stood up and walked with contemplative steps. Even though I don't know anything right now, one thing I, the current me, am sure of is that my Heart does not want to lose her end. My determination to become a stronger, more
steadfast adult. I will definitely protect her just that. In the bedroom, Ava wasn't feeling any better. Like him, she was thinking about many things. I've made Aselos angry again. She collapsed onto the bed. I've probably been misunderstood even more because we were so close. I was surprised and my whole body froze. How do I explain that? It's a magic resistance reaction. It's all Islet's fault. I lost just after finding him and also made Aselos misunderstand. I need to ask the meaning of what Islet said, too. He might have even followed me here. I need to
search around the villa after I recover. What can't be found in the cold? Just use free carrots to lure him out. He'll quickly change his tune. The people cried. The military was in flames. Six years passed, but Oel was no better. Oel was blockaded by constant earthquakes and avalanches, so Food couldn't be sourced from other regions. And the nations that tried to approach the sea monster with military force had no survivors return. Aselos had matured a lot since then. He slammed his hand on the table in anger. Damn it. If the territory weren't cursed, we
would have been able to get food. Avo gently opened the door and stepped inside. Asshel. Seeing her, he asked, "What's the matter?" Seeing his injured hand, she rushed over. There's blood Coming from your hand. Avochief and gently dabbed the blood from the wound. She didn't forget to ask him, "You must be very tired, right? But if it's you, you can definitely get through this. So hang in there. Her encouragement made him too shy to look at her directly. Yeah, thank you, Avro. Aselos noticed the handkerchief. I've never seen that handkerchief before. It's a bit much
to be for sale. That question made her heart skip a beat. It's nothing. Hiding It would be even more suspicious. Anyway, I'll do my best, too. So, let's work hard together. Her encouraging words moved him deeply together. As if reinvigorated, Aselos replied firmly, "All right." But later, he would regret accepting her comfort. "If I had known your comfort that day would lead to this, I wouldn't have accepted it." A gloomy color shrouded everything in the mansion. Aselos asked his subordinate in a cold voice, "Where did Averro go?" The Subordinate looked at him and stammered, "Well,
her lady ship said she needed tree bark, so she went to Mount Yosha." The mountain was covered in snow, forcing Avro to rub her hands together for warmth. Hearing the answer from his subordinates, Aselo's face darkened, but his eyes revealed an unusual amount of worry. "What?" On the mountain, Ava was busy for who knows how long. She finally collected a sack of tree bark. All right. As soon as she tied it up, she Rubbed her hands from the cold. With this amount, all the children being cared for at the villa can eat. She slowly recalled
that moment. When Ryu heard her say that, she couldn't help but worry. What are you saying, my lady? Going to find edible tree bark? Ava replied, "The tree can be used to make edible medicine. I've already asked the doctor about the edible types." But she was still extremely worried for her safety. But that mountain is very Dangerous. To reassure her, she just smiled and said, "I'm not climbing up. I'll just stay near the foot of the mountain." As she descended the mountain, she thought I told Ryu that, but to get as much as possible, I
ended up climbing up. If I'm careful on the way down, it should be safe. Before she could finish her sentence, she slipped and fell down. I haven't reached the bottom yet. There was a rock ahead which surprised and scared her greatly. A Rock. Avoid it. What now? I'm so scared. A second, two seconds, she didn't feel herself hit the rock. When she opened her eyes, she saw Aselos was shielding her with his body from the rock. Assel. She shily pulled away from his embrace. Thank you, Assel. He was both angry and concerned for her roaring
you. I told you Mount Yosha is dangerous. Even if there's nothing to eat, why would you act so recklessly? Avoid and whispered. I also Have a responsibility to the people here. I'm sorry for leaving without telling you, "But you've even been starving for days," she said loudly to give me food. That statement stunned Aselos. She continued, "If you keep starving yourself like that, you won't last long." He turned his face away and asked her, "What if you came alone and encountered a wild animal?" Avo replied nonchalantly, "I have a way for that, so it's fine."
Aselos, still angry, turned Back to her and said loudly, "What way could you possibly have?" Avo pulled a large carrot from her bag and looked at him with a confident expression. He looked at her helplessly, both angry and concerned. I know what you're thinking, but that's not it. Avo hesitantly. I can't explain everything right now, but has anything ever gone wrong when you listen to me before? Aselos had an unhappy expression and watched in silence. She beat her chest and Declared, "When the time comes, I'll tell you everything, so please trust me until then. Of
course, I won't go anywhere alone again. I promise. Suddenly, Avro pulled out a large bag and said cheerfully, "By the way, since you're here, could you do something for me? Can you carry this?" Aselos took the bag and asked, "What is it?" She replied, "Well, first of all, the wild animals of Austel might be edible." He looked down at the bag in his hand, Confused. Asel's expression turned sad. He replied, "The wild animals in Oel are cursed. How can you eat diseased animals? You're right, Asshel, but we've never tried eating them directly. She smiled gently
in reply. Just wait a moment. Aselos was lost in thought. Since when? Avo had been doing incomprehensible things like waving a carrot in the air or talking to herself as if she were talking to someone. A normal person might think she's crazy, But I sense a strange aura. Where Avro looks, there's always something unsettling and chilling, though I don't know what it is yet. But if it harms Avro in any way, his thoughts were cut off by Avro's clear voice. Hey, if it's cooked thoroughly, it's edible. If you can, could you hunt a few for
me? That's what I was going to ask. He shrugged and replied, "All right, that's not difficult at all. I'm just worried that you'll be in danger while I'm Hunting. I can't fight and I've already used the carrot." She was surprised, thinking, "Why doesn't he ask what I used the carrot for?" "So, huh? Why is the sea monster moving again after being quiet for so long?" Suddenly, Aselo's face turned pale. He reached his hand towards her. "Avo, take my hand." Avoaze. A bottomless pit seemed to open beneath her feet, pulling her down. Avo lost her balance
and fell, only managing a grunt, Followed by a sky shattering call. Avo successfully grabbed her hand. Out of nowhere, sharp tree branches shot towards them. He was careless and got injured under his eye, wincing in pain. Avo cried out in worry. Asel, he dug his feet in, clinging tightly to the ground. Aselos used all his strength to pull her up. She finally escaped the abyss, but an indescribable fear arose in Avro. This didn't happen so much in the novel. Why does it feel like the whole world is Being erased? In the distance, the last rays
of sunlight gradually left the sky. Avo rushed over and asked him, "Asel, are you okay? My eye, it's fine." Aselos raised his hand to stop her frantic, worried hands. Avo confused. Aselos reassured her, his voice softening. It's just a small injury under my eye. Hearing that, her expression softened a little. In this situation, and yet my body. I'm sorry, Assel. It's my fault. But can you let go of my hand? Hearing That, his body froze for a moment. Asel said, "It's getting dark. It'll be hard to go back. So, let's find a place to warm
up first." The scene changes. They have found a small cave with a fire crackling inside. Avo sat opposite him and said, So there's a cave here. How did you know, He replied casually. I often go on reconnaissance. We won't be going down the mountain now. It's very dangerous on the mountain at night. Instead, it seems you were Injured when you fell earlier. Let me check. Seeing him approach, she quickly moved away, thinking, "My heart is definitely going to explode." Aselos asked, bewildered. What are you doing? She stammered out an excuse. Oh, um, I just sprained
my wrist a little, so it's fine. He flared up. Then I need to see it even more. No, you don't. It's my body. I know it best. Aselos snapped irritably. You dislike my touch that much. Before, you would flinch at the Slightest touch. She was so startled, she yelled back. That's not it. If you were just a little less handsome, I wouldn't flinch. Realizing she'd spoken out of turn, Avro quickly covered her mouth. She thought, "Am I possessed by the real Avro or something? This is crazy. It seems Assel is angry. What should I do?"
But Aselo's expression didn't look angry. He replied sheepishly, "I'm sorry about that," yelling like that. "You seem to be Okay." They fell into an awkward silence. Avo spoke first. As soon as the sea route opens, I plan to ask for help from Roguechi. There's less damage there, and the land is fertile, so they have plenty of food. Aselos once again fell into a whirlwind of thoughts. If it weren't for me, she could be living comfortably in Roguechi. Asel, her call pulled him back to reality. You don't look well. Are you okay? He replied vaguely. I'm
fine. Avo asked with Concern. You don't look fine at all. Are you really okay? Aselos suddenly lost his patience and snapped. I said, "I'm fine." He was startled by his own tone. He silently berated himself. I accidentally got angry with Avro, who did nothing wrong. I'm really just angry at myself. I have to apologize to Avo. Avo paid it no mind and continued. They say a sprout that emerges in spring must endure the harsh sunlight. to persevere until just before the harvest, but to Give up then would be such a waste. The hardest part is
right before sprouting. From the people of the domain to you, you've all endured so well until now. So, Assel, you'll be able to get through this. After a moment of silence, Aselos spoke, "Thank you, and I'm sorry, too." Aro just smiled brightly in response. "It's nothing. In times like these, we have to encourage each other." He noticed the handkerchief in her hand. Isn't that the handkerchief you were Hiding before? Why did you hide it? She replied, "Actually, the time I disappeared in the town 6 years ago, I felt bad for making you worry. So, I
intended to give you a gift. I made a handkerchief myself so you wouldn't feel awkward accepting it. But it wasn't beautiful enough that I'd be embarrassed if anyone saw it, so I always carry it with me." Thinking back, I feel so foolish. Asel's face was now visibly red. He tilted his head and said Softly, "You really are foolish." "Give it to me now. It's mine." Avo reluctantly handed it over, "But it's ugly and has blood on it. Don't complain." He pouted, "So what? Give it to me. Hurry." The night grew late, and the surroundings were
enveloped in a quiet darkness. Aselos looked at the person sleeping on the ground and thought, "Thanks to Avo, I remembered the goal I had long forgotten. The plan to break the curse on the hostel Territory and make this place green, bring warmth here. When spring comes, the frozen ground will thaw and the snow-covered roads will open. By then, I must go with Avro to Rochi for a formal greeting so that Austel can live to bring happiness to her for surviving the winter." The next morning, Avro woke up exhausted. My whole body is so tired. Asel
asked, "Are you awake?" She replied sleepily. "Yeah, how's the weather?" He kept his eyes on the sky and answered Vaguely, "Not bad." She moved closer to him, "Wow, really?" Aselos thought, "I don't know the reason, but the aura that always surrounds Avo is stronger than yesterday." They set off on their journey back together. The road is slippery, so be careful. But neither of them noticed eyelet standing silently behind them, watching everything. At the hostel mansion, Senna's urgent voice called out, "My lady, I thought something had happened to you. I was so Worried." She stood in
the middle, only able to give a vague reply. I'm sorry. Odin also welcomed them. It's a relief that you've both returned safely. Avo suddenly spoke up. "Everyone, look what I brought back." She opened the bag she had brought back. Inside was the wild animal she had hunted yesterday. Thinking back to yesterday in the forest, it was amazing how he hunted it in an instant. Luckily, we have something to eat for now. Avo said to The servants, "I'll teach you how to cook it, so don't worry." After a tearful reunion, she finally got to go back
to her room. Now then, time to write about today. I haven't missed a single day in my diary since becoming Avro. Unlike at the beginning when I wrote about things that had changed from the original story, now I write more about my daily life. Maybe it means I've gotten used to this world. Or is that why I had that dream? The night I was Stranded on the mountain with Assel, I had a strange dream. A dream where I met my mother in Avro's form. My mother called out to me earnestly for the first time, but
she was too far away for me to hear anything. When was the last time my mother looked at me? I might have had that dream because I miss my mother, but I'm also a little glad because it seems like she's looking for me. She noticed the calendar next to her. Huh? What's that mark? As if remembering something, She suddenly shot up. Oh my god. So Asel's birthday is coming up. So today is avo rushed to the meeting point. I've been waiting for this day, but I forgot because of the territo's problems. Finally arriving, she called
out loudly, "I let a faint light emanated from a corner of the courtyard, and Avro's expression softened somewhat." 6 years ago, as expected, Islet came to the villa, and I decided to wait until he regained his strength. We made a pact That satisfied both of us, so we became close. And today is the day I promised. Just then, Aselos suddenly appeared from behind, calling out an alarm. He was immediately on guard at this presence. A dark figure slowly emerged, she said with relief. Finally, Isl continued, "It's time. If Asel awakens with Islet's help, the food
problem and the sea monster will be solved." After that, Aselo's sharp voice rang out. Who are you? Identify yourself. He moved to hold Avro protectively. Islet was completely unfazed by this action. As for Aselos, he remained on high alert. Avo quickly intervened. Assel, calm down and listen to me. I let finally spoke. I acknowledge your spirit, but pointing your sword at your master is quite arrogant. With that, he used magic to make the sword disappear. Avo let out a breath of relief. Luckily, he wasn't angered by Asel's hostile attitude. She began the introduction. Asel, this
might Be a bit surprising, but this person will be your master. He asked, stunned. What are you talking about? The person who suddenly appeared as my master. She didn't know how to explain, only able to hesitate and mumble. Aselos still couldn't process it, his brow furrowed as he stood frozen. Avo, I thought if I let him meet Isllet and then explained, he would understand, but Aselos is more panicked than I expected. She called him Assel. Let's talk in private for a bit. He replied, I'll wait in your room. She stood rooted to the spot. It
wasn't intentional, but it's my fault. This has probably become a terrible first meeting. The scene changes to Avro's room. Her voice rang out. May I come in, Assel? Do you remember what I said before? That someone would come to break the curse on the hostel territory. You ignored it back then, but it's actually related to that person. That person knows how to use magic. If Asel learns magic from him, he can break the curse. What if he doesn't believe me and thinks it's absurd? Aselos asked doubtfully. Are you being serious, Abra? She nodded slowly. He
continued, his voice earnest. what you said as a child about how to break the curse and wanting me to learn magic from that person. Was it all sincere? Avoid dare to look at him directly and replied softly, "Yes, that's right. I need to explain more." But Aselos quickly agreed. "All right." He slowly approached her. "I'll do as you say. You've never been wrong before." Asel's gentle gaze fell on the girl before him. he continued. And you're my most precious friend. I trust you. Avo clenched. Friend. But she quickly regained her composure. Thank you for trusting
me. Let's just try a little harder. If you can learn magic, you'll be able to break the curse right away. She looked at Assel, thinking, "I don't know why, but a part of me feels Uneasy, but it's following the original story, so it should be fine. Aselos will defeat the sea monster and this famine will end. If so, then even if I live, the original story won't change. No matter how jumbled my words are, he always believes me. I must not forget the trust and friendship before me is a destiny meant for the princess. If
I don't have children and maintain a friendship with Aselos, then leave quietly without any lingering Attachments. Everything will be fine as long as I But her train of thought was broken when she saw Isllet staring at her from the doorway. She approached him and said, "I let I hope you'll help Aselos." He replied, "Of course." She left, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance. Only the two of them remained in the room. Let spoke first. "This person? Why do you like that girl who's about to die?" Aro had also heard this. I'm asking why you
like that girl Who is going to die. Aselos lost his patience and drew his sword. You want to die now. She quickly turned to stop him. Asel. Hearing her voice, he froze. Aselos grit his teeth in frustration. She approached and advised, "You promised me that you would learn magic from Islet and break the territo's curse. He argued back, but he insulted you, and I'm just supposed to stand here and watch." Islet stood to the side enjoying the show. He suddenly spoke up. So, is the married couple having a fight? I didn't expect to witness such
a precious scene. This is my first time seeing it with my own eyes. Avo continued. See, Asel, he's a bit mischievous, but he's not a bad person. Nothing will happen, so can we just try it once? Aselos replied with certainty. I believe what you say. What that person just said. I'm only letting it go because you said so. Avo. She bit her lip, her heart clearly Filled with many thoughts. Avo forced a gentle smile and replied curtly, "Yes, thank you for trusting me, Assel." From that day on, Aselos began training with Islet. Thanks to his
efforts in treating Islet well, Ilet showed respect for Aselos. But perhaps because the training was so harsh, Aselos always returned to the mansion looking exhausted. As soon as he got back to the mansion, he would go to his room and not come out. Two years passed like this. On a sunny day With white clouds covering the sky, Avro was busy in the kitchen counting ingredients. Five crates of carrots, two crates of potatoes and cabbage. This time we can probably last longer. Before it was hard to get seafood because of the sea monster. She rolled up
her sleeves. Well, then let's start cooking. Ryu standing beside her said timidly, "You could have just ordered me to do these things, my lady." She smiled and replied, "It's fine. I find cooking very Enjoyable." Ryu, on the verge of tears, sniffled, "Because I'm incompetent, my lady has to wear an apron." Avo having to console her. That's not it, Ryu. This is entirely because I want to do it. A black rabbit's paw touched the tip of her shoe. It was the great sage eyelet in his rabbit form, sitting obediently below. Is it time already? She gave
it a carrot. Here's a carrot for you. Enjoy. At the end of Assel's training sessions, Islet would send his rabbit clone. Thanks to that, I can prepare meals for Aselos on time. Avo walked around the mansion wearing an apron. She stood there waiting, telling herself, "It seems I came out too early. They act as if they'll force me to go even if I refuse." Her gaze fell on the items on the ground. It's so splendid to the point that I'm worried because I'm dressed too simply. Come to think of it, since he started training, I
haven't been able to talk to Aselos. What can You talk about with someone who's so tired? Looking at the clear blue sky, Avro's heart was once again filled with thoughts. Has it already been 8 years since I came here? To be honest, there's nothing I can do in here. Aselos, I can only help the male lead grow up well and face fewer hardships. A small snowflake landed on her hand. Ah, snow. Everyone worked hard to prepare, so it's a bit of a shame, but I have to go in. Asel's voice came from Behind. Avo when
she turned her head. Aselos had appeared behind her at some point. Avo why are you out here? It's snowing and you're still waiting out here. She replied immediately. The snow just started, so it's fine. It's been a while since we ate outside, so I wanted a change of scenery, but I didn't expect it to snow because food became scarce in our territory. Aselos has been more concerned about delicious meals lately. In addition, perhaps because my food is Both delicious and nutritious, seeing aselos grow up healthy everyday truly makes me feel very satisfied. Aro suggested, "Lately,
you've only been eating bitter dishes made from herbs, right? So, today I plan to eat something more delicious, including seafood, but it's a lot for just the two of us to eat." Her eyes met Islets, who was standing to the side. Islet, would you like to eat with us? He replied arrogantly, "The smell of herbs isn't Good, so I don't like it. If you bring the vegetables directly to my room, I'll eat." Avo speechless. She told herself, "He must be saying that to make a weird excuse, implying that others smell." Asel suddenly called Avro. She
replied, "Are you calling me Assel? Do you know what day it is today?" Avo asked blankly, "Today." Asel's hand tightened slightly. He looked pitiful and wronged at her. Today is our wedding anniversary. A thunderclap. Avrose Silently raged in her heart. I completely forgot about that. And Aselos still remembers. She stammered a lie. Of course, I remember. I was planning to eat out to celebrate our anniversary. She thought to herself, "I'm so sorry." But Aselos knew everything. He smiled gently at his wife. He gently comforted her. It's all right, Avro. How could I not know that
you're always working for the territory? It's just a shame that I wanted to be with you all day today, but Couldn't. That's all. She replied awkwardly, unconsciously stepping back. I see, but we'll be together when we eat. She took one step back, and he took one step forward. That's not being together all day. I want to be with you all the time. Something was stirring deep inside me, a strange emotion. Maybe it's because I'm too close to That must be it. Her gaze on him suddenly became profound. Avo spoke first. Anyway, it's our anniversary. I
Should have dressed up a little nicer. She thought even though it's a marriage like friends, it's still our anniversary. And I was too thoughtless. But Aselo's gaze on her was always gentle. He hesitantly offered, "Hey, Avro, actually, I specially ordered a cake for this anniversary." She asked in surprise, "A cake?" She thought, "How could he prepare something so precious that it's difficult to even see in the territory?" He continued, "This much is Fine. Don't worry. Not only our territory, but the situation elsewhere has improved a lot, too. Look, Avro, now before me, there's even rare
seafood, and there hasn't been a major earthquake recently." With that, he held up a piece of shrimp to feed her. So, you don't need to worry. As she chewed the shrimp, Avro thought, "That's right. According to the original story, the monster will die soon, so I don't need to go all out stocking up on food like this. Maybe my Stomach hasn't been well lately due to poor eating, so I'm being more careful than usual. But for some reason, the atmosphere around Aselos still feels off." Looking at his expression, she could guess something. Asel's expression. She
asked, "Asel, what's wrong? You don't look well." He forced a smile and replied, "It's nothing, Avro, but the snow is falling heavily, so it's getting colder. Let's go inside and eat cake." They walked into the mansion Together. Avo felt that something was off. Did Alo want to tell her something? Should I just ask him? No, he's probably avoiding the topic because he doesn't want to say it. I shouldn't. But her thoughts were cut off by a burst of confetti poppers. The mansion servants stood before them shouting in unison, "Happy wedding anniversary." Avo stunned by the
sight. She thanked them happily. "Thank you all so much." And so they chatted cheerfully. Avo herself that This must be what Asos was trying to hide. If she had asked, he would have been flustered. She was right not to ask and just wait. Suddenly, he spoke up. Bro, she answered reflexively, "What is it, Asil?" Acelo answered nervously. I have something to tell you. Actually, I'll probably have to leave the domain and it will be four. For a very long time, he said hap-hazardly. And it will be four. For a very long time. It seems now
is the time to completely destroy The monsters. So, I'll have to leave this territory for a while. Avo. Has that much time already passed? The story I'm in begins with the defeat of the sea monster. She looked at him and replied in a low voice, "You're planning to leave so soon. I've told you, Asil, youll do great. But in her heart, she knew it was time for them to say goodbye." He tried to reassure Avo. When it's over, I'll come right back. She replied understandingly, "Of course, Aselos. I'll wait for your safe return. You will
win the war against the monsters, and there you will meet a good person with whom you can share a sincere love." Her face tinged with sadness as she continued. The timing is a bit off, but you wanted to say it before it was too late, right? I hope you'll be happy, Aselos. Alo reached out his hand. He took Avo's hand and placed a bracelet on her wrist. Then Asil said, "Sorry for suddenly holding your hand. This is a Gift for you." Looking at the bracelet, she finally breathed out. You startled me. This is a delicate
bracelet rested on her wrist. Alo said seriously, I've placed a protection spell on it. Islet had said he couldn't leave hostel, so Avro was wary. She thought the strange eyelet might try something, but he hadn't done anything lately. Right now, he was just lying comfortably in his room. For someone who knows about my magic resistance, I let sometimes showed Curiosity about how I would die. But I have no intention of dying and will return to my original world. Avo tilted her head and replied with a bright smile. Thank you, Aslo. I'll wear it well. He
looked at her, his heart racing. Okay, 2 years. In that time, we overcame hardships and settled into a safe friendship. Perhaps in the future, feelings of love will not blossom. But even if our relationship isn't romantic, I can still wish you happiness and Safety. Can't I? Because we're friends. The scene changes. Avo standing alone in front of the hostel mansion. Islet beside her spoke up. How do you feel? She replied casually. I don't feel as sad and troubled as you expected. Asos will definitely return safely. Islet chuckled mockingly. Such firm belief. Sometimes you talk like
an old woman who's seen everything in the world. With that youthful appearance, what's with that way of talking? Avo replied Irritably. Calling a young lady an old woman is rude. Suddenly, his tone changed and he asked curiously, "What I want to say is, "What is that?" Isot's gaze fell upon the gleaming bracelet. Suddenly, the bracelet emitted a warm golden light enveloping the space. Avo savored the warmth. So warm, a protection spell. So this is what it's like. Of course, Isllet didn't miss the chance to mock her. This kind of magic is just poison to you.
Did that kid give You poison? She replied bashfully, this much magic is probably fine. Besides, when I leave here, I'll be healthy again. She said that, but thought to herself, but before that, you'll die by my hand. He asked again, "Does that kid know that you just want to leave?" Avoid for a long time. She was strangely calm as she replied curtly, "He doesn't know and it doesn't matter." He gave a faint laugh. "Haha, you're both fools, so you're a perfect match. It's interesting To watch. Keep being fools." Avo retorted. Who are you calling a
fool? Is claims to hate humans, yet he never leaves the mansion. But she was really thinking, "It doesn't matter. Even if Aceos knew about my magic resistance, he'll forget all about me the moment he meets the princess. He feigned anger. I taught you and now you're kicking me out. Kids these days. I let who was bound to the territory and stripped of his power because Ka had cursed the Hostile domain and all life within it. For almost 2 years now, he's only eaten the vegetables I give him. Since he can't smell anything from me, he's
comfortable. Has Isllet gotten closer to me? If the princess breaks Isllet's curse like in the original story, will his intention to kill me change? With that thought, Avro asked him directly, "If someone could break your curse, would you spare me then?" He answered without thinking. "There's no such Person, kid." She pressed on, "But what if there is? Just close your eyes and imagine." I let sighed. Even if there was, you'd be dead and gone by then. Clearly not satisfied, Avro insisted, "What if the person who can break your curse appears before I die?" He was
speechless and said awkwardly, "Well, then I'll think about it then." After Asos left the territory, news of him was heard frequently. When he arrived in the kingdom, when he set sail, and even when He succeeded in defeating the sea monster. And just like that, he became the hero of the kingdom. Back with Avo, she was now sitting in her room writing a book. She meticulously wrote in the diary before her. In the meantime, I've recorded all the news from the past 6 months and compared it to the original story. Every event matches the original. It
seems my survival hasn't greatly affected the main plot. A lot has happened, but the goal is right in front Of me. 8 years in my time here. Many traces of my life have appeared. And in the six months Aslo was away, I began to gradually prepare for my departure. A few comfortable clothes, some jewelry for money, a small, neatly packed bag, enough to travel before returning to my old world. Should I check one more time? Better to be thorough than to miss something and run into trouble. Her gaze suddenly fixed on theshaped doll on the
fireplace. Its expression was the same As before, staring at her hottily. Looking at it, Avro was reminded of Aslo. Come to think of it, Aslo is gentler now than when we first met. The time when he said nothing and just glared like, "This doll feels like it was only yesterday." She carefully lifted the doll with both hands. Avo gave a rise smile and murmured to herself, "It seems we've gotten a lot closer over time, haven't we? By now, Aselos must have met the princess at the Party hosted by the king. The beautiful princess and the
hero who saved the world when a love as picturesque as that begins. The story will flow just as I know it. An extra like me will be gone. It's fine. I won't be here by then. Her train of thought was cut off by a shout. Madam, the master. He's returning to the mansion. Avoid it and tried to confirm. What? You must have seen wrong. Senna replied immediately. No, madam. Look outside. She looked out skeptically. Outside. Avo approached the window. The sound of a horsedrawn carriage clattered from downstairs. Ace Los returned riding his horse majestically. It's
really him, but so many things are strange. It's still too early to return from the party, and there are no women in the returning party. How can that be? No, maybe the princess is hidden from view. Instead of staying here, I should go out and check. Ailos's voice rang out, catching her attention. VRO. He stood Downstairs, panting heavily. Aslo called out happily again, Avro. She couldn't hide her joy either. You're back. Aslo, he replied. It's been a long time, but your welcome is a bit cold. With that, he moved closer. The two grew closer and
closer. A truly romantic scene. Asos said plainly, "Ro, I missed you so much." With Ailos's return, a gap between the original story and reality had begun to form. Alos looked at her lovingly. Varro, "I missed you so much." In contrast, Ava was a bit more hesitant. Asos didn't hesitate, hugging her tightly. "I really missed you so much. Ailos's magic is stronger than before. I feel so nauseous. She quickly struggled. Wait, as cut her off, Vro, I thought about you all day. I missed you so much I was about to go crazy. Didn't you? Hearing these
words, Avro was silent for a moment. Remembering the times she missed him so much she couldn't eat or sleep. Her emotions finally burst forth. You idiot. Why would you say that? I lost sleep and appetite worrying you'd get hurt. Alo asked joyfully. Really? You were worried about me? She replied softly. Of course, we're friends after all. Ailos's expression fell. His hand clenched. You're right. We're friends. Avo felt the atmosphere turn sour. Why is it like this? I was so worried. In any case, it's a good thing my body is still listening to me. If I
had started Talking nonsense because of my magic resistance, the mood would have definitely worsened. Suddenly, he moved closer to her. Ace Los stared at her without blinking. Your face, it's red. At this distance, Avro could see his face clearly. He's so handsome. Ace Los took the opportunity to tease her. Is it because you haven't seen my handsome face in a while? Avo jumped back, startled. It's because it's cold. I'm really not fully recovered yet. Seeing Her reaction, he moved even closer. Why are you running away? Are you uncomfortable when I do this? Avo replied awkwardly.
It's not that. But he took the chance to hug his wife. Then what's the problem? We're a married couple. She still tried to push him away. Friends who are like a married couple. Ace Los hugged her even tighter. Married but like friends. She wondered when he'd gotten so mischievous. His gaze landed on an object on the floor. Acelo picked up the doll. I haven't seen this in a while. Did you stare at this doll because I was gone? Avo quickly denied it. Of course not. He handed the doll to her which startled her. What's with
you? Hugging me without permission then handing me a doll. What's that about? It's not that I don't like it, but he said cheerfully. I'm so happy. She looked at him confused. "What? Seeing you hold the doll, it's like we have a new member in our family. It's so Cute." These words from Aceos left her stunned and rooted to the spot. Avo handed the doll back. "What are you talking about?" Not paying attention, she slipped and dropped it. The doll's face hit the ground hard. The two of them stared, falling into an awkward silence. Avoled up
with sorrow. I didn't mean to drop it, but why did he have to bring up that topic? Acelo walked over and picked up the doll from the floor. Avo hesitantly. He just gently brushed The dirt off its clothes. Ace put it back in its place and asked with concern, "Are you okay? You said you were cold, so it was true." Avo replied awkwardly, "Yeah, I don't feel well, so I must be tired." Internally, she was overthinking. He brought up children and I got startled. Alo didn't mean anything by it. It's probably because I transmigrated and
always told myself I couldn't have kids. That's why I reacted subconsciously. She tried to salvage the Situation. If I'd known you were coming back, I would have prepared a meal. You must be starving, right? He answered, "No, I'm not hungry at all." But Avro knew better and called him out. Liar. You skipped meals to get back sooner, didn't you? Don't you want to eat a food after half a year? Acelo looked at her with longing. I want to, but you said you're not feeling well. She was happy to hear that. So, it was because of
what I said. Good thing it wasn't my fault. Avo grabbed his sleeve. It's just because I ate too much. So, while I digest, I'll prepare a delicious meal. This is my hobby, so don't stop me. Just wait a bit. I'll make the best meal right away. and I got kicked out of the kitchen. Abro was speechless, standing there dumbfounded. She thought disappointedly, "I just wanted to prepare a lot of delicious food for Aslo since we don't have many days left to see each other." Senna, as if sensing The signal, smiled slightly. So, madam wants to
have a special day. She walked over to Aselos. Sir, my lord, let us handle your date. You should go prepare a nice outfit for it. of course we'll prepare one for the madam as well. He started to imagine Avro in a beautiful dress and his face unknowingly turned red. On the other side, Avro also heard her name being called VRO. I forgot I had something to do. So if we don't have dinner together, it will be a big Problem. I think I should go prepare for dinner. See you later. Senna slightly came forward to urge
her. It seems the master is planning to dress up nicely. In that case, our madam must do the same, right? She was put on the spot and stammered, "Please." Before she could say another word, Avro was dragged away by Senna. Acelo has also returned safely, and the sea monster that caused us so much trouble is gone. "So, can I relax a little today?" The two sat Together at a large dining table. Looking at the serious Aselos in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "It's been a while. Does home-cooked food taste good, Asil?" He
looked at her affectionately. Ace Losed his voice and replied, "The meal is delicious." And it's also great to hear the details of VRO's life while I was away. I was always worried that something might happen. Avo replied shily. Really, I'm not a child. I can take care of the Territory by myself. Alo smiled gently and continued. Furthermore, I'm glad that VRO has recovered. She awkwardly looked away. I just said I ate too much and didn't feel well. It's because I had too much porridge. Our head chef is very skilled. She said that, but her mind
was in turmoil. But why after talking for so long? Has he still not said anything about the princess? Noticing her gaze, Acelo asked awkwardly, "Is there something on my face?" She quickly Looked away. "No, nothing." Suddenly, a servant beside them spoke up. "My lord, an invitation to the royal banquet has arrived for you, sir." A formal letter was delivered, catching Avro's attention. She thought to herself, "Thank goodness, the story is still proceeding as it should. Now, if Aelos attends that banquet and meets the princess, the plot will follow the original story. Ace Los picked up
the letter and read it seriously. She urged Him on, her eyes shining with anticipation. An invitation from the royal palace. You must prepare to go, right? Avo sat waiting in silence, her expression unable to hide her anticipation. She just saw Iselos let out a sigh. Unfortunately, I don't have time to attend the banquet, so there's no need to worry. Avoaring that, the smile on her lips froze. Huh? Ailas's tone changed, filled with irritation. They've already been disgustingly Bossing a busy person around, and now they want to introduce a princess to a married man. Avo looked
at the pile of what used to be a highclass invitation letter on the floor and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't have to burn it. Did he come back immediately just for me? Aslo hasn't met the princess yet, so that's why. He just hasn't had the chance to fall in love at first sight. This small change is fine. The pale yellow light highlighted the beauty of The garden. She gathered all her courage and said to him, "Hey, Aslo, you should try going to the royal banquet. Aslo is the hero who defeated the sea monster, and
who knows, you might meet someone good who can help you. If I don't talk about this now, I might regret it later. So, and do you remember our promise from long ago? That when we each find someone we like, we'll get a divorce. She waited hesitantly for his reaction, thinking to herself. I have to say the promise is Still valid. His voice dropped. Have you found someone you like? Avo gave a rice smile. What are you talking about? I'm just saying in case you forgot. Before she could say more, he quickly interrupted. You look beautiful
today. Avo looked at him confused. Alo continued on and on. You were beautiful before and you're beautiful today. It's been half a year since we've seen each other. It can be like that. In my eyes, you have never been anything but Beautiful. Being praised so much made her feel shy. Why are you suddenly complimenting me? She said diplomatically, it's been a while since we've met. Ace has also become more handsome. Of course, you were handsome before, too. Then the two fell into silence again. She cautiously watched as Cilos's reaction. Finally, Avro had to find an
excuse to leave. Is the wind blowing into the greenhouse? It's a bit chilly. I'll go in first. Alo stood up And asked, "Seriously, Bro, is it because I talked about having children?" She panicked and quickly clarified, "It's not that." He angrily clenched his fists. Then why were you so startled when I gave you the doll and now you're talking about divorce? Did I do something wrong? Seeing Aila's estate, Avro couldn't help but panic as well. No, Aelos, you didn't do anything wrong, he replied curtly. Then tell me, why are you saying such unsettling things? Her
Mind was a tangled mess, her fingers tensed and clenched together. How should I answer? I was trying to avoid that topic. How can I avoid it when he's being so direct? Despite her turmoil, Avro managed to say, "No one knows the future. We're just friends and friends can't have children, so I just said that." He looked at her with a pained expression. VRO. We're also a married couple. I thought having children was a natural topic of conversation between Spouses, so I said it without any other meaning. I'm sorry. I didn't think you would feel pressured
by it. I won't talk about children anymore. We're still young, so there's no need to talk about successors, so please don't worry about it anymore. And even in the future, I will never rush you about it because VRO's thoughts are more important than anything else. Ace Los reached out and took her hand. Avo shily pulled her hand back. Thank you for saying that. I'm Cold. Let's stop here for tonight. He gave an awkward smile. All right, let's go inside. Avo turned and left, silently blaming herself. I'm sorry, Aselos. There will never be a child between
us. Anyway, you were destined to be with the princess, so I'm leaving because I have to go back to my mother. If I go back there, I'll thinking of this, her heart grew heavy. The image of the restaurant where she worked so hard also appeared in her mind. Avo stood still. Then she Thought of her mother again. Even so, I still have to go back. In a flash, winter arrived with snow covering the sky. Avo rang out. Hasn't Asos returned from the palace yet? Senna looked troubled and stammered. Well, he has things to do, so
his departure was delayed. Not wanting to make things difficult for Senna, she forced a smile. There's no other choice. Is having a talented husband a crime? Alo was frequently summoned to the royal palace. Even if he planned to return to the mansion, even if he was just a little late, the palace would send knights to urge him on. Even so, I still keep my promise to come here. Thinking back, summer is almost here. In the novel, it was during the summer that Alo and the princess officially started dating. I see now everything is gradually returning
to normal. The time he spends in the palace is increasing. That's good enough. The daily newspapers have been Buzzing with the story of the princess and asos for a long time. I have to remove the articles with those rumors. I feel like everything is fine now. Why does no one believe me when I say it's fine? Don't I no longer need to worry about that gaze? After all, I survived. After all my efforts, I avoided the fate of death. Now, when I'm with Aslo, I have no reason to be afraid. The reason to avoid him
has also disappeared. After everything returns to its place, even if Things change a little, Avro's parents will understand that things were already very difficult. I'm so glad as long as you remain happy like this with the princess. Senna's sudden call interrupted this train of thought. Madam, she called out breathlessly. You must be surprised, right? I'm sorry I called, but you didn't answer. She replied, it's okay. What did you call me for? Senna said excitedly, "Madam, the master is about to return." Avoained Silent. If it's this important, he probably wants to publicly announce his relationship with
the princess, right? So, please prepare to dress up beautifully. Ignoring Senna's words, Avro cut her off directly. No, that's not necessary. And Senna, you won't have to do that anymore either. When I see, I'll start by congratulating him. Then I'll go back to my room, get the things I've prepared, and say goodbye to the people I love. The day I return to where I belong. Is today Aselos? Her eyes widened in astonishment at what she saw. Avo stunned and said, "Aloss." Seeing her, Aslo couldn't help but blush. His joy was evident as he asked with
a smile, "Vro, did you come out to greet me?" She asked impatiently, "What about the princess? Where is the princess? Why are you alone? Why? I only see Aselos. Confused, she asked, "Where is the princess?" With that, Aslo raised his hand to her cheek. He said lovingly, "My princess is right here." Avo panicked at this action and stammered to correct him. "No, that's not what I meant. I mean, the real wife you're going to marry." He asked back, confused. "What are you calling me? An old husband?" She quickly said, "No, I didn't mean that. Didn't
you say you had something important to do?" Ailos's expression softened a little. He replied, "I did say that, but I promised VRO I would return today." It was Avo's Turn to be stunned, only able to let out a small sound. Avo ignored a royal command for that reason alone. If this gets out, Aselos will no longer be respected by the royal palace. Aslo moved closer, whining playfully. Vro, I'm a little hurt. To return as soon as possible, I followed all the king's orders, staying up all night. So, while I was away, did you find a
real husband? Is that why you only see me as a friend? Her heart pounded in her Chest, and she panicked, shouting, "What? Why would you say that? It's not true, he continued. Is that why you don't want to have children? Before Avro could react, he lifted her up and held her in his arms. Aso said shily. But it's okay, VRO. Even if you don't really feel it yet, everyone sees me as a hero. No matter who the opponent is, I don't think I'll lose. Aro's face was now as red as a tomato, she said, trembling.
Alo, my stomach feels upset. It must be Because of my magic resistance. I feel so dizzy. Alo continued speaking, not realizing her discomfort, and moved even closer. But Roa, I'm very sure I can make you the happiest person in the world. Alo looked at her with adoration because I'm sure I can make you the happiest person in the world. When I was young, there was only one thing I truly wished for. It wasn't a huge castle or a beautiful doll. It was just this, to live a peaceful life with loving Parents. Could a life like
that be possible with Alos? Even if the story has changed a bit, if the princess never appeared. At this moment, Avro spoke up. Hey, Aelos. Suddenly, her vision blurred and blood trickled from her mouth. She didn't look well at all. Ailos's eyes widened in surprise at the sight. She was also stunned, covering her face and letting out a gasp. Immediately after, her vision went dark and all she could hear was Ailos's desperate scream. VRO. If that could happen, it would be wonderful. The weather grew increasingly gloomy. A group of people stood before Asos, facing him
with fear. What did you just say? They quickly made excuses. I'm sorry, but there are no issues with the lady's physical condition. We can't find the reason why she won't wake up. He cut them off impatiently. Enough. You may all leave. From that day on, Avro fell into a deep sleep, and as a result, the enormous palace was plunged into sorrow. Many people came to examine her, but they all said the same thing. We can't determine the cause. This is the first time this has happened. The reason why the mares hasn't woken up is unclear.
I'm sorry, sir. That day the door to her room opened right on time again. Aslo entered quietly. He looked at her lovingly. Good morning Avro. She remained lying there unable to respond. Alo continued. The territory is peaceful again today. I've implemented all the Rules you suggested and now it's much easier to keep things in order. Then asos took her small hand. Varro. The steady ticking of the clock echoed in the silent space. He just sat there silently looking at the girl on the bed. She still showed no reaction at all. His eyes welled up as
if about to cry and he gripped Avro's hand tightly. It's all my fault. Please open your eyes. It's because I brought up the topic of having children. That shocked Avro and Made her like this. Avo repeatedly expressed that she didn't want to, but I only thought of my own feelings and kept forcing her to understand them. It was clear that VRO had changed for the better, but I couldn't keep up with her. That's why VRO either got tired of me or she was too exhausted from being with me because her belongings were neatly packed under
the table, very minimalist and tidy. It was clear she was ready to leave at any moment. I know full well How selfish I am, and I also know she wanted to leave because she was tired of me, but please don't go. VRO's cold voice suddenly rang out. How can the little girl wake up if you're by her side all day? He had suddenly appeared in the corner of the room. Alo warned him in a cold voice, "If you came here to spout that nonsense, then leave." Let placed a hand on his shoulder and said mockingly,
"How can you say that to your master?" Ailos's expression grew more Grim than ever. He growled a warning. Stop it. Isid said nonchalantly. If you don't want that child to get caught up in all this, you'd better not do anything. He asked with a dark face. Is this your doing? Is just shrugged and replied calmly. Really? Do you really think I'm foolish enough to do this when I already promised her? Only then did Aslo calm down. A promise? Is glanced at him looking amused as if watching a show. He reached out and stroked Avro's long
hair. You really don't know anything about this child, do you? I guess I'll have to give you a clue since you're my disciple. Stay away from her for about a week. You're not allowed near her bedroom, and you're not to touch anything this child eats or wears. If you do exactly as I say, something interesting will happen. It's unknown how much time had passed in Avro's pink room. She still hadn't woken up. Mrs. Ryu was beside her preparing her Things. She brought the spoon to her lips and said slowly, "Madam, the medicine is a bit
bitter, but please drink it all. It must be uncomfortable since you're not fully awake, but I'll try to feed you bit by bit." Suddenly, Avro spoke, making the woman freeze. Mm. The spoon in her hand fell, and she screamed, "Oh my god, madam! Madam! Madam is awake." Soon, Avro's room was filled with laughter and chatter. "Madam, look at me. Are you hurt Anywhere? Would you like something to eat?" "Thank goodness." Having just woken up, Avro held her head tiredly and said, "Hey, wait. Can you all speak more slowly? My head still hurts a little. I've
been unconscious for 10 days." The two of them seemed not to hear, continuing to chatter excitedly. The doctor will be here soon, so please rest comfortably. That's right. The gods have blessed us. Seeing them so worried, Avro could only give a weak smile and wave Her hand. She stepped down from the bed, thinking to herself, "10 days. I've been lying here for 10 days. Moreover, I don't understand why I suddenly collapsed." She carefully tried to keep her balance and said softly, "My whole body is stiff. Anyway, this condition seems to be okay." Suddenly, Avro seemed
to remember something and let out a small sound. She wondered doubtfully. Could it be because we were too close? Then from Ailos's perspective, perhaps Because he hadn't seen me in a long time, he got too excited, but my body couldn't help but react. By the way, where is Alos? While I was unconscious, did his relationship with the princess progress well? Anyway, he should at least visit a sick person once. Being in the room for too long is making me uncomfortable. I need to open the hallway window. Then Avo walked to the window. She was startled
for a moment, staring outside. Huh? It turned out Aselos had been standing there all along. Hearing her call, Acelo. He answered hesitantly, not daring to look her in the eye. You're awake, Bro. She still unaware smiled and replied, "It's been 10 days, hasn't it? Such a long time. You must be surprised, right? He answered cautiously. Yeah, it's been a while. She spoke again, causing him to pause for a few beats. It's cold. Why are you standing outside the window? Is it because there's someone you want to See? Ace looked at her with sad eyes. Yes.
Avoid. Then why don't you use magic to go see them? In her heart, she thought, "If he uses magic, it'll only take three days to reach the palace. It would be easy to see them, but I don't understand why a corner of my heart feels anxious." Asos looked at her more deeply and asked in a low voice, "So, can I go see them?" She replied naively, "Of course, Aselos. Even though I'm his wife, I've never Been to the palace while I was sick. Indeed, Aslo really misses the princess. Even so, he should at least visit
a sick person once. Alo reached out and opened the door. Avo looked at him blankly as their eyes met. Alo said, "Seriously, Ro, the person I want to see is." Before he could finish his sentence, she interrupted. Did you come here because of the rumors? If it's because of the rumors and you don't mind, then that's fine. He asked back doubtfully, "What do You mean? What rumors?" Seeing his reaction, Avro couldn't help but wonder, "Huh? Why does he look like he doesn't know anything? The rumors about you and the princess dating are spreading everywhere to
the point that many newspapers are full of it. Why does the person involved know nothing about the rumors that have reached all the way to the north?" Asos looked at her confused and asked again, "Vro, are you talking about rumors about me?" Hearing this, Avro started to get angry. "What's going on? Do you think I have another husband while you can date the princess? Why can't I have a romantic relationship? Of course, I don't have a real husband and there are no such rumors. She feigned anger and turned away. I'm tired. I'm going inside. Acelo
wanted to get closer, worried. Then close the window and go in. She snapped angrily. Who gave you the right to interfere in my business and order me around like that? I don't like it. Opening or closing the window is my right. He tried to soften his tone. It's cold. I'll close the window and VRO will go inside. We'll talk later. Why are you being so stubborn? The two continued to argue. I'll decide everything. So, go meet the person you really want to see. In the end, Iselos had to give in helplessly. He used magic to
close the door directly. Avoared in disbelief, still not satisfied. How dare you use magic to Close the door? That's not fair. Fine, I'll go to my room. Acelo remained outside the window, confirming that she had gone inside. Avo leaned against the wall inside. She looked at the bracelet on her hand, still a bit unsure. Ailas's magic is getting stronger, so this bracelet will also become more dangerous. I should ask someone to help me take it off. Her heart was in turmoil, and apprehension was clear on her face. My feelings are so strange. On The other
side, Ace Lo still reached his hand out towards her, lingering, unwilling to leave. He couldn't stop blaming himself. I was so childish just now. It feels like VRO is recovering but unintentionally. But because VRO knew about the rumors, I was really angry at that moment. Thinking back, VRO really is awake. Although it took longer than the weak eyelet mentioned, VRO has actually recovered. Did VRO really faint because Of me? Then how did I let know that information? Can I still be with Vro? In a situation where everything is a question mark, a bad feeling suddenly
appeared in my head. In any case, Avro perhaps Avro had long since realized the cruelty I hide in my heart. To be honest, Isllet's training methods cannot be called normal because it was himself who pushed Asos to the very brink of death. The sword had been stolen long ago. When space was so distorted that Directions were indistinguishable, monsters continuously and frenzily attacked the young Alos. Aelos wanted to live. No, I must live at all costs. I must carry on the last wishes of my deceased parents because the fate of Austel rests on me and for
Avo who completed the training I gave her and is waiting for my return using chaotic magic to destroy the monsters. It was no wonder Ailos's body was constantly torn apart. What was astonishing was that Isllet didn't lift a finger. He leisurely watched as Ailos's body was ravaged bit by bit. Right before the moment of his last breath, he snapped his fingers. He simply turned back time to the moment just before Asos died. Islet's face showed no trace of pity, only mockery and ridicule. There was no sign that the training would end. struggling in agony every
day on the verge of death until Asos understood that to avoid being destroyed, he had to Be the one to strike first. At that moment, Aselos mastered the killing skill and the training ended. The flashback ends. Asos is still outside the hostel mansion. Vierro, did you realize? Even the sea monster laughed, messing everything up. Vierro, did you know? Thinking this, he hesitantly pulled his hand back. No, she doesn't know anything. But why do I have this uneasy feeling that VRO will find out? A girl who should only be doing beautiful Things like flowers. I know
well that someone like me is not worthy of her. That's why I must hide it even better so I can stand by VR's side. The scene changes to Avo, she said lazily. I let you sit on that, won't the railing collapse? He replied nonchalantly. If I sit here, will it really collapse? No, it just looks that way, but you're much heavier. She retorted angrily, "Yeah, but the railing didn't collapse when I let sat on it." "That's lucky." "Seriously, I hadn't seen your face yet, and now that I have, I hate it even more." Hearing that,
he finally paid attention to her. I let replied with a faint smile, "Where have you been? Don't you know I was the one by your side the most when you were sick?" Avo asked blankly. H really? He looked at her thoughtfully. It's good to see the heirs of Oel so close. The closer I get to this child, the more I cherish her. I don't even realize the side effects are Getting worse. Avo muttering to herself, not noticing his eyes were fixed on her. Islet remembered. In the past, he had heard many pleas. Lord Islet, save
me. Lord Islet, it hurts. I had no intention of pitying those hostile folks, but suddenly Avro cried out, cutting off his thoughts. Uh, so you're afraid the vegetable cart will disappear because if I die, it'll be hard for you to eat well, right? Is speechless. The air is quite smart. Avo mood seemed to have Brightened. She smiled and said, "That's right. Well, then I'll be on my way." Quickly grabbed her and said, "Seriously, wait. Your condition has worsened. It means your life force has reached a dangerous level. Avo felt it doubtfully. Life force this time.
Waking up, I feel my mind is clearer. He replied with a faint smile. But what good is being clear-headed? Haven't your moods been more erratic lately? Before just seeing Asos made you blush, but That doesn't happen anymore. Your life force is decreasing and your complexion is getting paler. Thinking back, she realized it was true and told herself. I I thought blushing was just dizziness after waking up. So leaving this place was the right decision. Seeing Avro's reaction, I let happily clutched his stomach and chuckled. He tilted his head teasingly. Why are you two so foolish?
Seeing that makes me shiver with joy. Avo felt unnatural and Looked away. Suddenly her eyes met his "Acelo!" Acelo stood downstairs and looked up at her call. She still waved at him innocently. "Ace, why are you standing there frozen?" They looked at each other. Acelo stared at her stunned. Then he turned his head directly, ignoring what Avro said. Her face darkened. "What was that? Is he still angry?" I let suggested, "Why don't you try going to your husband?" She immediately retorted, "This floor is too High. Do you know where Islazily, of course, I'm not some
commoner. How can I help?" With that, he reached out his hand. "Huh?" Avo. She just felt her body become lighter. Her whole body fell, and she still hadn't processed it, letting out a small noise. I let looked at her calmly. "Tell me your secret." Let pressed her. Tell me your secret. As Avro fell, someone screamed her name, Avro. Just then, a hand reached out from nowhere. Alo Successfully caught her safely. He was extremely worried and asked Avro, "Are you okay?" Avoained her composure and said, "Thank you for catching me." Meanwhile, I let up above was
marveling. He caught her. Asos was furious and growled, "I'll kill that hateful guy first." Seeing this, she quickly tried to stop him. Huh? Wait, you can't. As a aselos, he was not pleased with Avo's reaction. Even in this situation, you still want to defend that hateful guy. Avo seeing her quickly explain just really likes to tease people. Avo herself that this was something she really couldn't defend. Aslo was furious and growled. So, is your real husband? She was momentarily stunned when she heard him say that. Avo felt a little helpless thinking, "He's still harping on
about the real husband thing. Why does he like to cause trouble for no reason? Only Islet is happy about this. How annoying." At that moment, she Quickly reassured him. "Calm down. My real husband is none other than you. Besides, if you two fight, it'll just be hard for me to watch. I don't want to see the mansion destroyed." His hand slowly tightened into a fist. Are you being serious? Avo immediately confirmed with Alos. Of course. He didn't stop there and continued to question her. Then why don't you blush when you look at me anymore? Before
you said you avoided my gaze because I'm handsome. You've always been honest about your feelings for me. Did you know, Avro, ever since I defeated the sea monster, you've changed strangely. Now it's like you're hiding something from me. After saying those words, Acelo left the mansion. Although I was worried about where he was going so late at night, I wondered if I was in a position to ask such things. I really didn't expect Acelo to be thinking like that. Even when I see Alo, I don't blush at all. Is The reason my emotional fluctuations have
slowed down because my life force has been depleted? At this moment, Avro focused her thoughts. Even though I made an excuse to Aselos that it was just because I've grown up, he must have realized it was a lie because he looked at me with those eyes. My heart feels so heavy. She didn't know what to do anymore. Then Avro went out to the balcony and called softly asos. When Asos saw her appear, he was curious. Why Aren't you sleeping, Avro? Avo quickly gave a reason. I just can't sleep. What about you? Acelo admitted frankly, "I'm
not sleepy at all. Avo, if you don't mind, could I come to your room for a moment?" Avo immediately agreed to his request. "Of course, come on in." Once inside the room, she poured tea while observing. Magic is really convenient. The moment you say you want a drink, the tea set is instantly teleported here. Avo Curiously, "By the way, what was it that you wanted to come to my room for?" Asos immediately stated his reason. I have to leave tomorrow. She seemed to know where Asos was going to the royal palace. Travel safely and come
back. Asos has been frequently summoned to the royal palace these days, so this is nothing special. Suddenly, he suggested to Avro, but this time I want you to come with me, Avro. She asked in disbelief, "Me go with you?" Asos gave a very reasonable Explanation. Ever since we got married, you've never seen the capital. Now, Avro realized that's true. He was still talking enthusiastically. Retella is very warm right now. I'm sure you'll like it. Of course, it's not just Robuchi. Retella, if I go to the capital now, I can meet the king, right? If I
request a divorce from the king, things will be resolved quickly. But that would tarnish the reputation of Asos who rejected the princess. So to protect Ailos's reputation, Aselos hesitantly suggested, "How about we also stop by Robuchi on the way?" Avoid smiled and declined. "We don't need to go to Robuchi. I'll go to the capital. But before that, I have something to do." His expression changed for a moment. "Something to do?" She didn't know how to say it. The thing is, Avro told herself, "I can't hesitate anymore." The reason Islet called me today was to give
me a definitive answer about my physical Condition. She thought for a moment, then spoke up. I don't know what you'll think, but Avro had made a decision for herself. I can't stay here any longer. So, she finally spoke up. Let's get a divorce. Asos never expected Avro to say that. What? Alo asked in disbelief. What? A divorce? I will calmly explain everything. Avo sat there and said plainly, "Actually, I know you have someone else you like, and I'll show you this. If I show him the scandal news I've collected for so long, the conversation will
be much easier." He was momentarily stunned when he saw the papers in front of him. She explained with a hint of sadness, "These are the news articles I've collected over time. The scandals about you and the princess." Acelo read the papers and asked in disbelief. These are all scandals about me. Then his whole body suddenly stiffened. In the articles I've clipped, it details when, where, and how You two met, so it'll be easier for you to understand the situation. Aro now said, "Seriously, Acelo, I support your new marriage. After all, we only had a political
marriage for the sake of your position as head of the family. Both the marriage and the divorce were not your choice. So, I don't want you to feel guilty. She quickly noticed, "Your face has gone pale. Are you embarrassed because I brought it up?" Avo, are you okay? Seeing Aselos burn the Papers, he said, "You can stop there, Avro." She was extremely surprised and questioned him, "What are you doing? I went to the trouble of gathering all of that." He sat there with a grim face and replied, "Then you've done a useless thing." A moment
later, Alo suddenly grabbed Avro's hand. She was startled as he pulled her closer. What? Avo stunned when she saw him hugging her tightly. She didn't understand Ailos's actions and softly called his name. Aslo, he just said joyfully, "Thank goodness. It wasn't because you have another man, but only for that reason that you wanted a divorce." Avo, I swear I don't even know who that woman is. Avo utter shock. What is he saying? At the same time as the original story, the scandal had already spread throughout the country. Everything was just as I knew it. Why
would Aslo say he doesn't know the princess? Her voice trembled slightly. Then what are those scandals? Avo, unable to believe it. Could it be that Ace is lying? After hearing her, Acelo stared at her intently. It was as if he had understood many things. Then Alo spoke frankly. I was wondering what Gello was up to. So this is it. The king kept making strange proposals, so I refused them. And now he plans to use this method to play games. Don't worry, Avro. I will get rid of everything that's bothering you. If you want, I can
Eliminate both the king and the princess. She was terrified by Ailos's reaction. What is this? this frightening smile from Aelos. I've never seen it before. He on the other hand gripped Avro's hand tighter. If I do that, no one will doubt me anymore, right? She suddenly realized the important issue. Moreover, the magic power emanating from Alos is making it hard for me to breathe. So, Avo couldn't help but push Alos away forcefully. Stop it. Stay away From me, Aslo. He was stunned by Avro's reaction. Avo, did I hurt you when I touched you? Or is
it? The words Aslo was about to say got stuck in his throat. He voiced his suspicion. Do you hate me now? Isid said I should honestly tell my secret. But the story I'm about to tell will only cause Aelos pain. Should I really tell him about the illness I have? Meanwhile, Aselos is extremely sad. I'm afraid that because of me, the original story will change. Maybe Aselos. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up. Hey, Aslo. Can I ask you for a favor? Can you take off the bracelet you put on me? Maybe he's
developed some goodwill towards me compared to the original story. Who would have thought he would immediately and coldly refuse? No. Avoid persuade him. If you take it off, I'll tell you a secret. Even if you take it off, I'll never run away, so you can rest assured. At that moment, Aselos gritted his teeth Deep in thought. Finally, he raised his hand and touched the bracelet on Avo's wrist. Very quickly, the bracelet was removed by Aslo. Now, her eyes were filled with sadness. Avoic resistance. They say it's an incurable disease with no proper treatment. It seems
in this world there are also people who can't be near living magic like me. Therefore, I can't be by your side for long. Islet told me. He suddenly remembered past events. So, the Reason you collapsed before was also because of that illness. She nodded slightly, confirming the information. Asos continued to ask, "Even when we talked through the window, and the reason you told me not to come near in the cave," Avro frankly admitted to him, "Yes, that's right." Aselos seemed to have realized the problem. Then the bracelet I gave you has also been constantly bothering
you. She quickly reassured Aselos. That's not your fault. I was the one who hid it. When he learned the truth, he was furious. Why did you hide it from me? Avoil's reaction. What? Well, because I was planning to leave before you found out about my illness. Anyway, you were destined to be happy with the princess. In this world, I my existence is just a burden to you. She had her own struggles. How could I say that? Suddenly, he asked with concern, "Avo, is this okay?" At that moment, Avro Realized with a start, "Huh, my physical
condition is improving." Avo relieved and more energetic than ever before. She asked in disbelief, "What's going on?" When Avo saw Aslo cough slightly, she became anxious. Aslo. She observed his expression and thought. Asilos's condition has suddenly become strange. Could it be? Avo turned pale as she rushed forward to remind. Stop it, Aslo. Sealing your magic won't change anything, but he remained stubborn. No, This is the right thing to do. She couldn't believe it when she heard Aslo say that. What are you saying? He then looked at Avro gently. Your cheeks are starting to have some
color now. She was stunned when she heard Aslo say these words. His voice carried a hint of blame. If you hadn't endured it on your own and had spoken up, things could have changed. Then you wouldn't have had to suffer like this. Even if I'm an unreliable husband, this isn't about Something else. It's about your health. You should have said something. Aila's concern made Avro's heart flutter. She unconsciously buried her face in Ailos's shoulder. If I had told you, would anything have been different? It's not like I can seal my magic until I die. He
stared at Avro and whispered, "Why not? The stronger you become, the longer the seal will last. Besides this method, if there's any other way to keep you safe, I'll find It. So, you just need to worry about your health." I was speechless at Ailos's words. Not long after he left, a loud explosion and a commotion erupted from his room. I heard the maid say that Ailos's figure had disappeared into the sky. The next day, Avro stared blankly at the pile of things before her. What is all this? Odin immediately reported, "These are gifts the master
sent for the madam. Clothes, shoes, and accessories for when you go to the capital." She was Horrified and questioned, "What? Why spend money so wastefully?" Senna quickly chimed in. Madam, this much is naturally necessary. I will take care of everything. Madam needs to take better care of herself to find the most wonderful combination that suits the madam. Huh? Madam, please look at this. Aro was curious about her attitude. What is it, Senna? Senna took out an outfit and praised it. Isn't it beautiful? I was just about to pre-order a dress for You from the shop.
and how does it not only suit the madam but also fit her size perfectly? Then she seemed to have realized something. Senna couldn't help but exclaim. That's right. Only the master knows the madam's size so well. Hearing that, she became extremely embarrassed. Wait, I know what you two are misunderstanding, but it's not like that. He admitted his own mistake. I was so thoughtless. Quick, put away the gifts. When Avro saw him cough slightly, She became flustered. "You too, please listen to me for a moment." In the dining room, many delicious dishes were laid out on
the table. She was putting a piece of cake into her mouth. Avo chewed her food sorrowfully. Thanks to Senna's huge misunderstanding, I spent so much effort explaining that I don't even know if the food is going up my nose or in my mouth. Speaking of which, where did Aslo get that much money? Even if it's the reward for defeating the sea monster, It's still too much. Furthermore, Islet also thought he would use the curse as an excuse to come back. But a day has passed and he's still nowhere to be seen. Alo, seeing her dazed,
asked curiously, "What are you thinking about, Avro?" Avo snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "Huh? I wasn't thinking about anything. Just thinking about you. I'm just kidding. I was thinking about the outfit you gave me." He asked a bit hesitantly. Do you like them? She Immediately praised them. They're really beautiful. Ace Los was relieved to hear that answer. He said with a bit of embarrassment, I'm glad. I didn't know what you liked, so I prepared a variety of things very carefully. I came up with this design just for you. Avo sat there listening intently
to Ailos's explanation. Finally, she understood the situation. I see. No wonder. That's right. It's true. That he didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong? What are you saying?" Avoid didn't reply, but thought to herself this way. I can't nag him about not wasting money. I should just be honest. So, she spoke frankly. It suits my taste much more than any outfit I've ever worn. Thank you so much. The continued silence made Avro wonder. Why isn't he saying anything? She couldn't help but turn to call him. Then Avo was startled by the scene before her because Ailos's
face was beat red. She was alarmed and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" His voice trembled slightly. "No, don't come any closer, Avro" Avrobe obeyed Aslo and didn't get any closer. He couldn't help but smile faintly. Now, Alos frankly admitted, "Every time I feel these good emotions, it's because I find it hard to suppress the sudden burst of magic. Just seeing you healthy makes me so happy. The moment we sit opposite each other like this, it feels just like a normal married couple, and that's why I feel so Happy that I can't control my magic."
She was moved by Avro's words. Avo, did those words make you that happy? He let out a sound of confirmation. Although she was happy, deep down she still felt a pang of pain. This must be guilt towards Alos. She reminded herself, "No, the atmosphere will become heavy." Avo suddenly remembered another issue. "Oh, by the way, how did you know my body measurements?" Ace Los answered very calmly. "I just knew. Because I'm Always looking at you." So, I just knew. I mustn't be mistaken. Alo fell in love with the princess at first sight. Even if that's
not the case, I still have to leave. Survive safely and return to where I belong. The moment Alos and the princess meet will be filled with joy and magic will spread throughout the kingdom. At that time, this body will be exhausted. I don't want to die. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and called Avro. Avociously Touched her cheek. Then he gently lifted Avro's chin. Then Alos instructed, "It's late now. You should go to bed. I'll walk you." She came back to her senses and replied, "Yes, that's right. I'll go then. You don't need to see
me off. I'm going to bed." Very quickly, Avo returned to her own room. She sat down on the chair in a daysaze. Her face still flushed. She suddenly felt extremely shy. Aselos. I thought he was going to kiss me. How foolish. Outside, White snow had covered everything. Ryu carefully instructed. Don't skip meals just because you have no appetite. Understand? Senna beside her quickly chimed in. Once you get to the capital, you must indulge in all the luxurious things you've never tried before. You live too simply. If you don't, Senna's heart will break. Acelo hugged her
and reassured her. Don't worry, I'll definitely live well. We'll both miss you so much. Ryu couldn't help but burst Into tears. Oh my, why are you acting like you're going into exile? Senna shared the same thought. That's right. Well see each other again in a few days anyway. At this moment, she smiled and explained, "No, I just want it this way. Odin, you stay well, too. I'll go and come back safely." Just then, someone called out to Avro, "Madam, it's because you're here, madam, that this cold place could come back to life. We will miss
you and wait for you here. Please take care of yourself, madam, and return safely." She smiled gratefully and replied, "Thank you, Odin. I'm not that great of a person. The princess is coming soon and will liven this place up. Even though our fate together ends here, I will remember everyone." Suddenly, Acelo spoke up. Are the goodbyes all done? Avo momentarily stunned as she saw him approaching. Alo held out his hand, signaling to her. Now he smiled and Suggested, "Well, then shall we set off?" Avo's words, "All right, the easiest way to get to the capital
is by magic." But Acelo chose to go by carriage. I can only appreciate his thoughtfulness. Sitting in the carriage, she suddenly wondered, "By the way, when will we arrive at the royal palace? I heard the road is very long." Asos immediately answered Avro's question. "In 10 days, accommodations will be arranged at The castles we pass through." She was very surprised by this fact. "What? Doesn't it normally take half a month to get there?" "How?" He then said casually, "I've cleared away everything in the way." Avoid Ailos's words. Cleared everything. He explained to Avro things like
mountains, trees, rocks, for example. I've been out since early this morning. Hearing that, she couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "What?" He saw Abra's expression and Chuckled, "Just kidding. Your reaction is so funny. That's not a joke." She came to her senses and asked, "So, what were you doing early this morning?" After hearing her, Acelo suddenly stared at Avro. He seemed to ask in disbelief. Training? She silently told herself. Training? So suspicious? Anyway, this is his territory. Just in case something happens, I need to check if any debris has fallen. Ace decided to remain silent. If
I tell her the truth that I Cleared it, she'll get angry. Then he gestured for Avro to make herself comfortable. 10 days later, Ace Lo softly called her name. Avo. Avo woke up and let out a small sound. Seeing this, he asked with concern. Avo, are you not feeling well? We're almost there. I saw you looking uncomfortable. She quickly denied it. I'm fine. I drank tea along the way, so I feel better. Alo also felt more at ease. I'm glad. Next time I'll prepare better. Avo suddenly felt a Little helpless. How could he? He shortened
a 15-day journey to 10 days. Just then, Aslo called out softly. Look, Avo. A moment later, she was stunned by the sight before her. Finally, Avro realized that this was Redella. After moving for a while, the carriage stopped. The people around stared blankly at the carriage. Then, everyone became extremely excited and shouted loudly. At that moment, they were loudly welcoming him. The hero has visited Latrella. It's the powerful hero who defeated the sea beast. Avo looked at everyone's reaction and amused. So, everyone has gathered here to welcome Asos. Just then, someone came over to greet
them. Long time no see. She was stunned by Jabbor's appearance. Now, she smiled and said, "Lady Avro." Hearing this, Avro thought, "Lady, everyone must know I married Aselos. Also, she ignored Aceos and greeted me. So, she must be an acquaintance of Avro. What if I'm found Out not to be the real Avro? But no, before that, what was Avo's relationship with that person? What if it wasn't a close relationship?" Suddenly, she broke into a radiant smile. Then, Jabori said loudly, "Avo, did you lose all your memories after leaving the South?" Grace nearby was flustered. Jabbori,
Jabbori. Avo shock. She suddenly rushed up and hugged Avro, whispering, "I really missed you, Avro." She was still focused on analyzing if it's Jabbori, then isn't She Avro's best friend and the villain mentioned in the novel? In the novel, she thought Avo was still living well. But in reality, Avro died after becoming pregnant with Ailos's child. When she came to Oel, she witnessed Aceos forgetting Avo and remarrying the princess. Jabbori was extremely furious and plotted to poison the princess. But the princess used that to her advantage. In the end, Jabbori was imprisoned in the castle
until her death. Avo Jabbori was angry is also normal. If that's the case, the man standing over there is Grace, who has a one-sided love for Avro. He stood behind them and carefully reminded, "Jabbori, you're startling Avro." According to the original story, as soon as he heard that Jabbori was imprisoned, he became a knight guarding the castle. When I read the original, I had hoped those two would end up together. Anyway, it's more comfortable to meet people on my side. At this moment, Jabbori reminded him unhappily. Don't just randomly interrupt a girl's gathering. Grace tried
to persuade her, but I'm so glad. Then he asked Avro with concern. Avo, are you okay? Your complexion isn't good. She hid behind Aceos and uttered softly. I He shielded Avro behind him. You've been holding a tired person for a bit too long. We just arrived, so Avo needs to rest. Now Grace came back to his senses. I'm so sorry. Alo on the other hand Asked her with concern, "Avo, are you okay?" Avo let out a small sound as confirmation that she was fine. After receiving her confirmation, he suggested, "Then let's go to the castle."
Suddenly, someone interrupted, "Hey, hero, why did you hurt our Grace's feelings? Do you think he still likes Zavro?" Grace's face turned pale as he called out, "Jabbori." Jabbori was still chattering away. "A happy marriage is good and all, but Avro is our best Friend." Ace Los said coldly, "Jabbori, you can." She became even more furious and yelled, "Oh my goodness." Avo let you see Grace. Hurry up and talk to your husband. Avo suddenly dragged into this and was stunned. Me? Me? Jabbori then came forward to question him. Avo has the right to hang out with
her friends. He pointed out frankly grace is an exception. You know that. She stood in the middle stunned and let out a sound. Avo. Well, then let's meet at the victory party. Grace finished her sentence. She silently told herself. Since I'm married, I need to be careful. Also, I was planning to ship Jabbori and Grace as a side couple. Jabbori heard this and was stunned. What? When I heard Avro was acting like a proper lady, I thought it was a lie. Alo, what did you do to Avro? Alo glanced at her and replied, "Nothing." She
was extremely excited. Avo has grown up. Time flies so fast. It Must be the power of love, right? Strong enough to level two mountains. Love that can level mountains. How scary. Avo caught the important keyword, two mountains. Just then, he urged, "Let's go." She continued to question, "Is that true?" Alo calmly suggested, "Let's go, Avro." Seeing the scene, Jabbori exclaimed, "Still so childish." The scene changes to a large mansion. Avoa, "Wow, this architecture is amazing." Alo saw her reaction and explained. Actually, this is our mansion. Do you like it, Avro? Avo expressed her thoughts. I
like it a lot, but it doesn't have a name yet, does it? He stared at her and replied, "Actually, I've thought of two. I'll tell you when we get there." Avo, if this is a magic tower, it should be called ASD. In the ancient language, it means magic. So, it already contains magic itself. She was analyzing in her mind. If the name of the magic tower is ASD, then perhaps it was built so that even ordinary people can use magic. Meanwhile, Aselos opened a door and said, "Here's the room, Avro." Avoarily stunned by the sight
before her. She couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. This room was beautifully decorated. The indoor garden was filled with pink hydrangeas. Although it was a bit different from the flower gardens at the magic towers I know, it was a flower garden in the middle of a tower much Larger than any castle. But as I went up the black brick wall of the spiral staircase, it resembled the magic towers I knew. So this place must be SD, he explained. The name of this place is Blue Avro. Blue means seal. Avoled by this information. What?
Avo hesitated and asked, "What do you mean a seal?" Alo slowly explained with a gentle tone, "To prevent magic from spreading everywhere in this tower, I have filled it with the magic of the ancient Language. It should be effective." Her eyes immediately widened in astonishment. He used what should have been a magic tower to seal magic. Then Avo expressed her doubt about this method. "Is that possible?" He smiled and confirmed, "It's possible. As long as it's here, this tower is an extremely special place." That answer made Avro's heart race. Of course, this place was originally
supposed to be a magic tower. If a place like this is Arbitrarily sealed, then unlike in the original story, magic will no longer be easily accessible to commoners, and Lethola will no longer rise as a kingdom of magic. This can't end just because the original story has changed so much. The news of a magician appearing in Lrella has spread to other kingdoms and Alo won't be able to fend off the coming threats on his own. If other magicians don't rise to support Alos, Lella will turn into a sea of fire in an instant. The tragic
future vision gradually appeared before Avro's eyes, making it hard for her to avoid blaming herself. This is probably all my fault. The cracks in the original story probably appeared because I'm still alive. Asos, perhaps noticing the change in her expression, asked with concern, "Avo, are you all right? You suddenly look pale." Avo immediately snapped out of her delusion and quickly reassured him. "I'm fine. I'm probably just tired From the journey here." She forced a smile, but her heart was still filled with a nameless anxiety. It would probably be strange if I asked him to change
the name now, and I'm probably just worrying about a distant future, so for now, I'll just wait and see. Besides, who knows what will happen if he meets the princess. After trying to pull herself away from pessimistic thoughts, Avro proactively changed the subject. By the way, my room isn't on The top floor, is it? I don't know about you, but I'm not confident I can walk all the way up there. Aselos couldn't help but laugh at her strange concern. Of course not. Our rooms are on the third floor. She became even more apprehensive as she
looked at the row of corridors. You're talking about those rooms over there. They're not like the rooms with two connecting doors at home, are they? He looked shy and said softly, "I left the threshold open." Avo Speechless and exclaimed, "Great idea." Alo suddenly declared in a very gentle voice, "I'm not kidding." His sincere expression made her heart skip a beat. Avo turned her face away in embarrassment and changed the subject. The weather is so beautiful. It's warm and the air is so clear. Alo, you should wait. Before she could finish her sentence, she fell into
Ailos's warm embrace. The sudden hug stunned Avro and her senses suddenly became sharper. I Can smell Ailos's scent right at the tip of my nose. He smelled like me. I suddenly realized that 9 years together as husband and wife was long enough to make our sense similar. My heart is beating so fast. The large, luxurious hall was filled with countless overlapping sounds. A woman's beautiful blonde hair swayed as she walked, ignoring the gossip. Andrea still exuded her usual dazzling and elegant aura, but her indifferent face showed her Displeasure. Another cloying day. The emperor grumbled unhappily.
Are you listening to me? Andrea immediately forced a bright smile and replied, "Yes, father." He continued to ramble on with a sense of urgency. Andrea, you must marry the marquee. You are very lovely, but you can't take this lightly. Look, the marquee and the mares haven't budged at all after that scandal. She didn't answer and just maintained her smile. But Andrea's eyes radiated a cold aura, Telling me to drive away a perfectly suitable wife and take her place. How absurd that the only plan he can come up with to prevent marquee oel from seizing power
is through marriage. The novel I transmigrated into, if you tame the hero, is a love story about the female lead comforting the male lead who is suffering from many wounds. I possess the body of the female lead, an abandoned, illegitimate princess who suffers at the hands of many villains Until she meets the male lead. At first, I found this life a bit difficult, but with the knowledge I gained from reading the original work, I somehow made it this far. Everything up to the point where the king needs me completely matches the original story. But for
some reason, Avro, the character who was supposed to be gone, is still alive. The plot of the novel I know is starting to diverge. After recalling the plot, Andrea spoke up to reassure him. Don't Worry, I'll find out more about the mares myself. This guarantee made the emperor anxious and he raised his voice. Do you have a good idea? She declared confidently. I'm thinking of meeting the mares in person. I'm also very curious about what kind of person she is. The emperor, without any shame, praised her affusively. Since when did my daughter become so mature?
As your father, I'm very proud, Andrea. Hearing this, Andrea couldn't help but lament inwardly. Before, you didn't even know I existed and completely ignored me. Now you're acting like you care so much. Meeting the character Avro in person is a good idea to see if I've missed anything. And if I can successfully get married, I'll live like a princess in the hostel domain and enjoy a comfortable life. Meanwhile, as soon as the news of the beloved youngest child of the Rosh family and the hero's wife arriving in Leala, hundreds of invitations were sent To the
hostile mansion. They also sent dresses from shops known to be very difficult to book and even shoes and accessories that matched Davo. The noble women continuously probed for information. Do you know what mares Oscar likes? In the end, even the maid from the Marquees Castle was bribed to ask about Avo's preferences. It's understandable that people would go to such lengths to please her. Avoi family, one of the most prestigious Families in high society. Even during the Seab Beast's rampage, the Roki family had as much stored food as the royal family. Furthermore, since the Roki family
continued to operate the mines they owned, it was only a matter of time before they regained their former glory. And that's not all. The husband of their youngest daughter is none other than Marquostel, the first magician of Lutiola and the hero who defeated the sea beast. Although he was Involved in some scandals, everyone knew that all those scandals were plots by the royal family who wanted to get their hands on Marqueel. At high society tea parties, the whispers among the ladies and young misses were endless. The mares isn't the type to easily let go of
her husband, right? Of course. Can you imagine how close those two must be after overcoming such difficult times together? And even if we're talking about the king, forcing a divorce is Impossible. To be fair, wanting to make the kingdom's princess the mares is too unreasonable. There's about to be a fiery conflict between the princess and the mares. Many bets and stories revolved around the princess, the marquee, and his wife. But everyone's predictions turned out to be completely wrong. Everyone thought Avro would immediately start attending important public events. But she never left the mansion after arriving
in Lutiola. And Surprisingly, the first event she finally appeared at was the secret tea party hosted by the princess of Latrella. Andrea, the host of the party, personally welcomed Avro very warmly. You must be the mares of Oel. She immediately curtsied. It is an honor to finally meet you. I am Avro Aostel. Not long before, Avro pensively toyed with the letter in her hand. an invitation from the princess. I don't know why she sent me this invitation. Does she want To talk to me directly about the scandal? Alo beside her nervously advised, "Avo, if you
don't want to go, you don't have to. I can handle invitations like this myself." Touched by his concern, Avro smiled and reassured him. I can't ignore an invitation from the princess and anyway, I want to meet her. However, he was still worried. Would it be better if I went with you? She firmly rejected the idea. No, why would you go with me when I'm the only one invited? Aslo stammered an explanation. Because I'm your husband. Avo gently soothed him, her touch very light. Don't worry, I'm just going to a normal tea party. If you're that
worried, I'll wear the bracelet you took off for me last time. Ailos's brow remained tightly furrowed. I'll put it on with as little magic as possible. Sleep well, Avro. Although it was late, Alo sat motionless on the bed, lost in thought. I can't believe she's going to Meet the princess by herself. Previously, Avro would use rumors to ensure that anyone she considered a rival couldn't enter the political scene. But now, she's completely different from before, so I'm no longer worried about that. But why would she do something so beneficial to the princess? Could it be?
She's preparing to leave me again. But she must know that I won't let her go so easily. What exactly are you thinking, Avro? The next morning, Aselos carefully put the decorative bracelet on Avro's wrist. Before stepping into the carriage, she expressed her gratitude and promised, "Thank you, Acelo. I'll be back soon." He cheerfully sent her off. "Travel safely, Avro." Although reluctant, Acelo stayed to see her off. Watching the carriage gradually disappear, he couldn't help but remember his own worries and clenched his fists. Meanwhile, Avro had finally arrived in Front of a magnificent mansion. The picturesque
scene upon entering made a strong first impression on her. There are so many flowers. I remember reading in the novel that it's because of the princess's special relationship with magic. She feels uncomfortable around artificial things. Just as Avro was dazedly admiring her surroundings, Andrea's voice suddenly rang out. The weather is beautiful today. Avoled and realized the identity of the person Before her. That must be the princess of the kingdom of Liola, the true female lead of this novel. Andrea greeted her friendly. You must be the mares of Austel. Avo immediately collected herself and bowed respectfully.
It is an honor to finally meet you. I am Avro Aostel. Andrea quickly sized up her opponent with a glance. Then she looked away seamlessly and said, "Let's sit down. After all, I didn't invite you here for a light chat." The two of them Sat opposite each other at a pre-arranged tea table in the garden. Amidst the suffocatingly silent atmosphere, Andrea casually took a sip of tea. She got straight to the point. I assume you've already heard about it. the rumor that Marque is in love with the princess. Avo quietly replied, "Yes, I've heard that
rumor. I am also aware of the source of the rumor, and if that is your wish, I intend to step aside without resistance." Avo Gaze made Andrea, who is always in control, pause for a beat. She probed cautiously, and the reason is. Avo calmly gave a standard answer. I am just an ordinary noble. But Andrea suddenly cut her off. I don't think that's the only reason. I know very well that you've had a one-sided love for the marquee for a long time. What is the real reason? After a long hesitation, Avro still chose to reveal
the truth. My health is deteriorating to the point Where it would be very difficult for me to be with him in the long run. This made Andrea lower her gaze. I see. She was lost in thought. Come to think of it, I forgot about the character Avro from the original novel. She suffers from magic intolerance. Andrea politely asked, "I know this might be a rude question. Do you know why your health is deteriorating?" This question made Avro a bit tense and she fidgeted with her fingers. Yes, I know. Andrea hesitantly Offered a guess. Could it
be that you're currently pregnant with the Marquees child? Hearing this, Avro quickly denied it. No, we were busy dealing with the sea beast. We never thought about that. Andrea secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. Since she's not pregnant, Avro most likely won't die. Then she expressed her remorse. First of all, I want to apologize to you for that scandal. I am not a shameless person. Avo uttered in confusion. Pardon me. Andrea calmly cleared up all the misunderstandings. No matter how much my father wants me to marry the marquee, I have no intention of
taking him from you. Since you are still young and your health condition is not severe, please find a suitable solution. So, please forget about that scandal. Avo urgently emphasized the issue. You may not know, but my illness is more serious than you think, and it can't be cured, so there is no solution. At this, Andrea shared, "Frankly, you may find it hard to believe, but I know your illness very well. And just as magic appearing in this world is a miracle, I am sure there will be a cure for your illness. Because nothing is impossible.
But Andrea's unusual attitude made Abro's anxiety grow. How can the female lead be so strong even though the story has changed so much? If it were me, I probably couldn't have said something like that." Seeing her Less than enthusiastic expression, Andrea boldly probed, "Or do you really want to divorce your husband? I'm curious if you would want to continue living with your husband if your health allowed it." Avoy left to answer. At this moment, her mind was filled with tangled thoughts. "I don't know anymore. I always thought the princess should be with Asos, so I
thought I was fully prepared for what was to come. But if I can cure my magic intolerance, would it Be okay? If I continue to stay with Aslo, this must have happened because I changed the original story too much. Andrea worriedly observed the person opposite her, whose body was trembling uncontrollably. So, she gently reassured her, "I'm not interrogating you, Maris. So, please don't be so tense around me." Avo, naturally aware of her current impolite behavior, stammered with teary eyes, "I'm sore." Andrea cut her off and Gently rubbed her hand. What are you sorry for? To
be honest, I can understand how you feel right now. Look over there, Mares. Aro unconsciously followed her gaze and was shocked by a figure that came into view. Aslo looked at her with a pained and sorrowful expression. A few seconds later, he turned to ask briefly, "Your highness, I was so worried about my wife, so my behavior was a bit rude." Andrea smiled with amusement. It's all Right. I'm very happy to see you two so affectionate. You two should come here more often to show me your good relationship. Under Avo's watchful gaze, Aselos expressed his
agreement. I will consider it. Instead, Andrea pressed on, whispering a tease into her ear. What should I do? It seems I've heard all about the lady's situation. Alo became vigilant and probed. Your highness heard everything. She enthusiastically joined in. That's right. The well-coordinated Dialogue between them made Avro's mind spin in confusion for a moment. Before she could figure it out, Aslo had already taken her hand and pulled her up. The two of them left hastily, leaving her in a days. Hey, wait. Asos. Avo with an uneasy heart. What should I do? He clearly heard everything.
I said I wanted to break up with Aslo. Acelo is clearly very angry. Suddenly, Ace Los stopped abruptly, causing her to bump Her head against his sturdy back due to inertia. Although a sharp pain shot through the point of impact, Avro was eager to explain first. "Alo" sigh, but her words were cut off by Alo. "I'm sorry," she asked back in confusion. "What?" He then explained in a low voice. "I didn't mean to eaves drop. I just came by because I was worried." This only fueled Avro's anxiety. He really heard everything. Andrea and Alos not
only don't like each other, but the Original story is completely messed up. However, he mistook her silence for something else. Are you very angry? Avo gently reached out to help Avo fix her hair. Then he said sheepishly, "I promise I won't eavesdrop anymore. I promise." Hearing this, Avro pretended to threaten him. If you do that again, I won't look at you anymore. Asos quickly grabbed her wrist tightly as if afraid she would actually do it. Then he affirmed with certainty. Okay, I Promise. The tense meeting ended in Avro's disbelief. I thought meeting the princess would
make me feel more at ease, but I don't understand why I feel even more confused. In the sundrrenched room, a knock from outside woke. Madam, there's a letter for you. She sat up in bed and replied, "Leave it there. I'll read it later." Senna was very surprised and exclaimed, "Oh my, you're already awake." Avo smiled and praised, "Yes, the bed is so comfortable. I slept very Well." But she was embarrassed thinking of the real reason. Actually, it was because of the wild strawberry sponge cake as gave me this morning. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't
digest it. She recalled Ailos's puppy dog eyes when he gave her the piece of cake. It looks so delicious. Avo, Senna hesitated to advise her. That is, it seems you should read it right away. Her hesitant manner made Avro tilt her head in question. Why is it a letter From the princess? She corrected her. No, it's a letter from Lady Roki. Avoy surprised as she took the letter. What if it's Lady Roki? Is it my mother? Senna urged awkwardly. Yes, you should read it quickly. Before reading the letter, Avro couldn't help but frown. Such messy
handwriting. Her hand couldn't help but tremble as she scanned the first few lines. As expected, the message in the letter made her gasp. Avo, even though you didn't ask about us When you arrived at the palace, I heard the first thing you did was meet the princess. Whatever the reason, you don't suit that girl. She is the one who hindered your marriage with Aslo. You may not know that. You must be careful. I will see you soon. Senna beside her kept wailing. What should I do? While Abro's expression also changed unpredictably after reading. Anyway, it
seems she heard about me meeting the princess and hastily wrote this letter. In the letter, the handwriting is messy, the tone is arrogant, and the letter is dry. But I can feel she genuinely wants to protect and worry for her daughter. I feel confused, but why am I so anxious? This is the first time I've experienced this feeling. To change the atmosphere, Senna suddenly announced, "Oh no, and there's a visitor for you, too." Avo asked curiously, "A visitor?" Senna thought for a long moment. They said, "It's the daughter of the Zabori Family." Hearing that, Avro's
eyes immediately widened in surprise. "The Jabori family?" The sudden turns of events didn't affect the beautiful, sunny weather of the day. A steady knock sounded along with a cautious voice. "Princess, I am Asosel." Andrea, waiting in the room, habitually picked up her familiar fan. Come in, Marquee. Immediately after, Ailosa's sturdy figure slowly entered. She gently fanned herself, hiding her expression, Her sharp eyes constantly assessing him, as described in the novel, a cold and suspicious personality. However, his handsome appearance was enough to conceal that personality. There was only one difference from the novel I read. Instead
of falling in love with the princess at first sight, his gaze was very unusual. However, his magic power is still stable. Probably because Avo is not dead yet. So, Ailos's anger hasn't erupted. After some calculation, Andrea Smiled warmly and spoke first. I don't know why the marquee has come to see me. Alo with some annoyance brought up the main issue. I came to discuss the scandal regarding the relationship between me and the princess. She feigned innocence and shrugged. If you came to me about that, I have nothing to say. That scandal wasn't caused by me.
Those denials caused the long suppressed anger in his heart to erupt. However, your silence means you have tacitly agreed. In response to his criticism, Andrea calmly dismissed her involvement. It seems the marquee has come to the wrong person. As you can see, I am just a helpless princess. That scandal cannot be retracted unless the king changes his mind. and the marquees beloved wife will continue to be attacked. So, how about joining forces with me? Isn't it more effective for us to be allies rather than enemies? Ace Los closed his eyes tightly to carefully consider the
Proposal. However, a moment later, he firmly replied, "I refuse." That decisiveness made Andrea rest her chin on her hand and wonder, "I don't understand you." The marquee is a skilled magician, but his social skills are at an average level. I can see through everything. Your state is just being suppressed before it erupts. It seems you don't realize how your magic will affect your wife. Andrea's thorough understanding made Asos question her Wearily. What do you want? Just waiting for this, Andrea confidently showed off her eloquence. My ability to control the flow of magic is excellent. With
this ability, I can extract the excess magic stagnating in your body. I will ensure the magic I extract from you can help your research. You just need to promise me one thing, Marquee. My personal safety. That's all I need. That condition made Asos purse his lips and think for a long time. An illegitimate Princess holds very little power. However, the princess's power can also be a useful card. After suddenly gaining influence and power, Austel, who lacked a solid foundation of support, was placed in a precarious position. If she's no longer useful, I can just leave
her. From Ailas's eyes, Andrea easily read the calculations in his mind. That's probably what he's thinking. Just then, he spoke up, breaking the tense atmosphere. I have one condition. She Listened leisurely. What is it, Marquee? Ace Los then frankly requested, "Please end the rumors spreading throughout the kingdom. It's most effective if the people involved end it." However, Andrea's viewpoint was completely opposite to his. I think it's better to postpone it for now. There's nothing better to deceive the king with. Asos had difficulty explaining his true purpose. My wife is the target of gossip for no
reason. At least let me protect My wife. However, Andrea remained unmoved and presented a more comprehensive picture. Although I understand how you feel, sometimes small sacrifices are necessary for the greater good. It's best to backstab the king after being fully prepared. This rebuttal seemed to push Aelos to his limit, making him grit his teeth in frustration. Then, without any courtesy, he coldly declared, "Then I must refuse your offer. If our intentions are not The same, it's best not to cooperate. Excuse me. The vast room was now left with only Andrea sitting high above watching as
departing figure. The recent conversation made her compare in her mind. Alo described in the novel is a rational person. The book says that to get what he wants, he can make cold and calculated decisions after weighing the pros and cons. But the aselos in front of me is completely different. If anything, he looks like the type of Person who would do anything without hesitation if it's Fervo. Thinking of this, Andrea reluctantly muttered aloud, "I guess that means I definitely have to befriend the Maris." The balance of interests in her heart tilted heavily to one side.
"If I have to choose an ally, I'll choose Avro, who is like a spring breeze, instead of Alos, who is as cold as steel. especially since Asos is willing to sacrifice himself if Avro tells him to. Andrea's mood couldn't Help but improve when thinking about the future. Speaking of Avro, she's surprisingly cute, like a little rabbit. It seems the story is about to get a little more interesting. Meanwhile, Avo's mansion today welcomed an enthusiastic guest, Jabori. Avo joyfully exclaimed, "Thank you for coming all this way, Jabbori." But in her heart, she couldn't help but cry
silently. Why did you suddenly come? Did you come to talk about memories I don't Remember? Jabbori kept glancing around and praised lavishly. This villa looks so unique. What's its name again? Avo helplessly corrected her and changed the subject. It's blue. Let's go to the indoor garden. The two of them walked through the rows of flowers. Jabori chatted happily. Actually, I came here to invite you to a party I'm hosting. Avo forced a professional smile. I'll definitely be there. Jabori continued to encourage her. You should leave your Husband behind when you come. Don't you feel sorry
for Grace? To be honest, Grace is just an excuse. There will be many nights there that day. So, it would be a bit troublesome ifos came. Aro naively wondered, "Why is that?" Her innocent look made Jabbori exclaim, "Oh my, what's with that innocent look? You're usually the one most interested in things like this. I purposely called a whole bunch of them." Aro was even more confused and asked again, "Huh? What do the knights have to do with Asos?" Jawori couldn't bear it and wanted to explain again, "Well, I'm saying." Suddenly, a sight caught her eye,
making her stop mid-sentence. Her friend's sudden silence made Avro tilt her head and call out her name. Jabbori. What's wrong? Just then, a mysterious voice came from behind her. Maris Oel. Avo immediately jumped up and turned around. This voice. She immediately realized the identity of this uninvited Guest. Princess, why have you come all this way? It's been a while, hasn't it? Andrea smiled nonchalantly. Mares and hello to the young lady beside you. I just met Marqu Osteo and it seems we have something important to discuss. After a moment of silence, Jabori finally spoke up, her
voice filled with anger. Why? You know exactly what kind of rumors are spreading throughout the kingdom right now. So why did you come to see Avro when she hasn't done Anything? Could it be that you're the type of person who enjoys scandals, your highness? Faced with that hateful accusation, the corner of Andrea's mouth curved up provocatively. "Of course not. I'm simply accepting the marquees request for an opinion." Avo easily sensing the gunpowder laced atmosphere between them intended to intervene. Jabbori. But Jabbori, filled with resentment, pulled her away. "Come with me for a moment, Avro." She
struggled Against her, confused. "Jabbori." Jabbori immediately expressed her frustration and blamed her. Avo, what are you thinking? Are you really the Avro I know? Avo worriedly tried to calm her agitated friend. Zobbery, calm down and listen to me. But now Jabbori was overwhelmed with indignation for her friend and shouted, "That woman is your enemy. Do you really not understand why she's spreading those rumors? She's trying to steal a loss from you." After Hearing her, Avro quietly explained, "It's okay, Jabori. The princess has promised me a few things regarding that matter. And now I need the
princess. So, will you trust me? I will definitely bring the princess to my side." Zob's face contorted with inner conflict. Just then, a thought suddenly popped into her head, and she exclaimed. Jabbori excitedly expressed her guess, "I see. You're planning to use that woman?" Yes, that's definitely something my friend Would do. Now, I will congratulate you and not stand in your way anymore. Although there was a slight misunderstanding, Avro went along with it to get it over with. Okay, thanks, Dobery. The meeting finally ended with a new understanding formed in Avro's mind. I didn't think
Jobi would react so strongly. I thought the real Avo was unloved like me, but in reality, she was loved by those around her. She's so different from what I thought. I'm Starting to feel foolish for pitying Avo. A moment later, Avro returned to the garden to continue her appointment with another guest, the princess. Sorry for the delay. I've kept you waiting for a while, haven't I? Andrea happily denied it. It's all right, Mares. I'm the one who came unannounced. Avo then inquired about her motive for approaching. May I ask the reason for your visit? Andrea
smiled at her with a friendly look. She honestly confessed. There's something I need to discuss with you urgently. This unexpected development made Avro stare wideeyed. There is. Andrea nodded vaguely. Yes, but Avro immediately caught the signal. She's worried Alo will drop. So she smiled and offered a guarantee. Don't worry, Acelo won't listen. Their similar purpose put Avro at ease. Good, because I also have something I need to ask her. Outwardly, she proactively suggested. Your highness, have you considered Learning magic? If you're interested, I can speak to him on your behalf. Andrea excitedly expressed her gratitude.
Oh, thank you so much. Avoy replied. I'm sure Aselos will agree. Andrea disagreed with this view and cautiously asked for her opinion. Lord Oscar certainly won't be pleased. Are you sure you're okay with this? I mean, your husband will be the one teaching me. Avoil unconsciously clenched her hands together and whispered, "But you have talent." You Felt the magic before and even recognized the power of the bracelet. Her overly kind personality made Andrea freeze in astonishment. A feeling of guilt suddenly arose in her heart. "You being so sincere makes me feel so guilty." The mumbling
was too soft for Avro to hear clearly, so she asked again, "What?" Andrea immediately resumed her usual smiling demeanor and praised her endlessly. "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking how lovely you are. I Truly appreciate you bringing this up first." Avo shifted shily. "Thank you." Her action made Andrea speak even more enthusiastically. "Your surprised expression is so cute. The more I look at you, my lady, the harder it is to look away. Her unabashedly friendly attitude made Avro wonder in confusion. What's wrong with her all of a sudden? Just then, Andrea spoke to her warmly.
Anyway, it seems I've taken up too much of your time. I look forward to seeing You again soon. Avoid. Thank you for visiting, your highness. The clear blue sky began to turn golden and the lights in the mansion's corridors were lit. Avo walked unconsciously, her mind besieged by worries. That's right. Someone like her can definitely be entrusted with Alos. Unlike someone like me, the princess is definitely a better match for Asos. Just then, Ailos's familiar voice called out Avro. Avo turned around and gave her Usual gentle smile, asking, "You're back. Is everything okay? Ace answered
casually, everything's fine. Nothing too serious, so I came back quickly. But you look so thoughtful. What are you thinking about? Avoided his touch and repeatedly denied it. It's nothing. You always refuse invitations to celebration parties, so I was worried about how to invite you to a party I want to attend. Is there a special reason why you always refuse? Acelo looked lonely and Resigned. There will be many nights at this kind of celebration party. They probably won't be comfortable if I join. After all, I am their superior. Avoid recognized his act of feigning pity and
asked back, "That's not the only reason, is it?" He was startled and admitted, "Well, actually, the knights are afraid of me." She couldn't help but wonder why Asos didn't hide the truth. My power is unusual and frightening. That resignation was magnified through Avro's perspective. So Aelos chooses solitude and I just thought he was tired and kept avoiding parties. Then she lowered her voice and advised Alo, "If you keep avoiding people, nothing will change." Avo sincerely took Ailas's hand. Then she bravely invited him. So please come with me to Jabbor's party. You are a kind person.
I'm sure you can make friends with everyone. Ailos's gaze softened upon hearing these words. I'm kind. Avo looked confused at Such an obvious question. Of course. Just then, he took the initiative and freed himself from her warm grip. Ace easily lifted Avro up to his eye level. This sudden action made her confused and urged him, "What is it? What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Put me down." He, on the other hand, stubbornly buried his head in her. I can't stop. I like you so much, Avro. Of course, unless you don't like me doing
this. That blunt confession made Avro's heart Flutter, and she avoided his gaze. It's not that, but a moment later, she lowered her eyes to look at him. What met Avro's eyes was the sight of Asos cutely pressing his cheek against her. Honestly, I thought I would get bored of seeing his face all the time. But every time I see Ailas's features, he seems even cuter. What am I thinking? And just a moment ago, I believed that the princess was a better match for Acelo. The two maintained this intimate Posture for so long that Avro had
to speak up in embarrassment. Acelo, I'm a bit tired. Can we go rest? Ace was ready to satisfy her every request. Of course. At the time when everyone was starting to rest, a hand was tirelessly gliding over the thick books on the shelf. Asos carefully skimmed through each page, searching for an answer to his problem. Magic formulas and artifacts are scattered everywhere. They've been here since I first discovered this tower. No One from the royal family understood their meaning when they owned the tower. The value of the tower is beyond imagination. But the royal family,
who were unaware of its true value, sold it for cheap. Without hesitation, I immediately took it. And the reason was simple. To find a cure for Avo's condition. Every human possesses their own amount of magic power. Compatibility and resistance to magic are defined by how we use it. And those with high Compatibility can grant humanity enlightenment. They can feel the invisible, touch the intangible and lead humanity towards a belief in a supreme entity. Conversely, those who strongly resist magic cannot use it properly. This is the entire existing explanation for magic intolerance. No other source details
the symptoms or provides further explanation. In the end, the core of this book seems to be to show humanity a problem without a solution. To sow fear And thus promote belief in a divine existence. No matter how much one prays in case something happens, a response is never received. So tiring. All I want in this world filled with magic is simply to live happily with you. Senna arrived and wished her a good morning. My lady, you're awake. Avoiled brightly in return. Yes, today is the party. I have to wake up early to prepare. Senna eagerly
wanted to show her something. Just in time, I have a dress I want you To see. What do you think? It's beautiful, isn't it? After speaking, she spread her arms to show off a light pink dress that looked very fluffy and cute. Avoid silent for a moment before speaking. It's definitely beautiful, but I don't remember buying this. Senna's eyes were crinkled with a smile. I knew it would suit your taste. She was still confused. Wait, Senna, I said I never bought that dress. Tell me the truth. Who bought it? Senna looked away as if scared.
It's a gift from Lord Alo. Avo felt helpless. What? He bought me something again. She scolded Alos in a very cute way. Honestly, I've told you time and again not to spend money recklessly. Senna just laughed. But it's already here and it looks so good on you. So please, my lady, just wear it. A moment later, after Senna had finished preparing her outfit, she couldn't help but admire her own work. Perfect. You will leave Everyone at the party speechless. Avo felt a bit shy in the beautiful princess dress. That's a bit much, Senna. At that
moment, she thought to herself, Senna's compliments are always a bit too enthusiastic. Senna enthusiastically guaranteed. Let me prove it to you. My lady, give me a minute. Not knowing what she was planning made Avo a bit nervous. What is she going to do now? Avo looked down at the dress she was wearing with her eyelashes lowered in thought. This Is the first time I've dressed like this for a party. It's so beautiful and radiant. Cutting off her thoughts, Senna finally appeared, peeking from the door. My lady, you can come out now, she said hesitantly. You're
not planning to tease me again, are you? Senna assured her, I'm all grown up now, my lady. As she was being pulled along, Avro thought to herself, for some reason, I don't trust this. It was only when she got outside that she saw the figure standing at the Door with a tall frame and luxurious attire. Oh, Aslo. On this side, Ailos's face also flushed as he walked towards Avro. Looking at the outfit in the same color tone as hers made her secretly wonder, is it a matching set? I really like it, but does Alos. Anyway,
I was the one who insisted we both go to the party. Thinking of this, she spoke up. Good morning, Aslo. I heard you chose this outfit. Do you like it? Seeing his slightly flushed face and his silence Made Avro a bit angry. Why aren't you saying anything? Does it not suit me? She thought to herself. What kind of reaction is this? It seems he's not pleased at all. Avo had expected Ailos's reaction to be finding her incredibly cute. She feigned a little anger. I'm wearing it because you chose it yet you say nothing. I'll go
change into something else. Hearing that, he finally snapped out of it and quickly took her hand. That's not it, Avro. That is, I Mean, Avo looked at his shy face with sparkling eyes. After a moment, she seemed to understand something. She turned her back and whispered to Senna standing beside her. I guess Senna was right. Senna also understood. Yes, it seems someone doesn't even dare to look at you directly. The two of them burst into happy laughter at that overly cute reaction. He felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and flustered, so he made an
excuse. "Actually, I'll go check if the Carriage is ready." Senna whispered from the side, "See, my lady, I was right. I win." Avo shrugged her shoulders. "Really?" He seemed to be looking straight at me. At that moment, Islo had gone to another place where no one was. His face flushed. He bowed his head and thought. Because it's a party with many people, I chose matching outfits to show that we are a harmonious couple so that people would realize the scandal involving me and the princess is just Baseless rumors. But as he thought, he placed a
hand over his heart. Why does she have to be so beautiful? If only she were a little less dazzling. Suddenly, Aselos remembered something that made him a bit resentful. Jabori said, "There will be many nights at the party. Should I just chase them all away? At that moment, Avro saw him and called out, "Aelos." He also smiled warmly, "I'm here, Avro. Shall we depart? You look amazing today." She also smiled gently In reply. "That's enough compliments." Judging by your reaction, it's clear you like it very much. As he spoke, he held out his hand to
help her along. "How exactly did I react? Shall we go?" Avo looked at the offered hand. His hands were flushed with shyness. Hold on tight, Avro. Seeing this reaction, she was stunned for a moment, then also smiled happily. Of course, at least in that moment, we believed without a doubt that we would enjoy the party. Arriving At the place, the magnificent palace along with the weather, the bright light made Averro praise it. The weather is really beautiful. What a magnificent mansion, a sparkling fountain, a winding hedge maze. They even had snacks and all sorts of
drinks laid out in the garden. Just then, someone called her name Avro. She also replied cheerfully, "Jabbori Grace." Grace, standing beside her, also said a bit shyly, "Long time no see." Avo clapped her hands enthusiastically Without realizing Acelo behind her was secretly nodding in some kind of signal. Right. It's been a long time. Jabbori. Grace. The party is amazing. Jabbori held her fan and smiled cheerfully. Of course. Look who organized it. By the way, I heard the Sky Knights are here today. She replied, "Ah, that's right. That's how it ended up." Jabbori continued to chatter
on. Not to mention, Avro, ever since the news got out that you would be attending, all sorts of People have. Suddenly, Aselos had lifted her hand and gently kissed the back of it, leaving her slightly stunned. He whispered, "The reporters are here." "So fast." Aro didn't seem to hear clearly and wanted to ask again. "Huh? What?" Suddenly, he gently kissed her on the forehead, leaving her stunned again. The noble ladies standing nearby saw this and shily and happily congratulated them. "Oh, look over there. Isn't that Lord and Lady Abro? What a beautiful Couple. Reporters were
also peeking from behind the trees to write about this happiness. And there was no end to the chatter from the nobles. Oh my, they're so perfect for each other. I told you those rumors were nonsense, right? I knew it for sure. How could such a lovely couple have a scandal? Avo seemed to have understood everything everyone was doing to help her. I see. Ace Los chose matching outfits for us to quell the rumors. Because we're dressed alike And openly affectionate, people will quickly realize the rumors are false. The reason we attended this party together is
because Jabbori, who is friendly with me, is the organizer. Just then, she noticed a source of magic radiating and thought to herself, "His magic is radiating. It must be hard for Asos to control his magic right now." She was worried about him and asked softly asos, "Do you want to rest for a bit? You look so tense." He was like an Obedient puppy, but a bit tired. I'm fine. It's been a long time since we've attended a party. I'm really fine. Avo felt uneasy. It's not very fun for you to just stand by my side
like this. Why don't you join Jabor's group and enjoy the party? Asos pointed in another direction. No, I'd rather go over there. She looked in that direction and saw couples dancing together, thinking to herself over there where the guests are gathered for dancing. Ava said a bit Shyly, "All right, let's go." In her mind, she still felt worried, afraid she wasn't perfect enough. Can I dance well enough? I've secretly practiced dancing for occasions like this. But for some reason, it seems like everyone is looking at us. Sorry, Jabbori. Jabbori stood nearby watching with enthusiastic support.
When the music began to play, Ace Los placed his hand on her and the two began to sway to the music. Contrary to Avro's previous worried Expression, she now felt surprised herself. My body is moving on its own. Ah, I see. Avo knew how to dance. So all this time, the reason my heart raced force was simply Avo's body's reaction. Thank goodness. I'm sure I can let go of Aslo without any regrets. She now said a bit awkwardly. Dancing for so long has warmed me up. He also smiled gently. I'll go get us some drinks.
You wait here. Thank you, Aslo. Just then, someone startled her from behind. It was Jabbori. You still dance as beautifully as ever. Abra was surprised. Jabbori. She hugged Abro tightly. Shouldn't you set your husband aside for a moment and hang out with me? Avo also felt a bit shy. Of course, I should. While she was listening to Jabbori talk, she happened to see the men behind her with scared, gloomy faces. So, Avro, it seemed Avro herself was distracted by Jabbor's words. For some reason, those knights look scared. She didn't notice and Continued speaking. My friends
really want to talk to you. Avo. Oh, no way. Could it be that they're afraid of Alos? Jabbori was cheerful. So, if you can, will you come with me to meet the ladies? Avoid. What? Sure. Let's do that. She responded enthusiastically. Really? That's great. Come on, let's go quickly. Although Avro looked happy on the outside, she had her own thoughts. Well, I'm sure everything will be fine. The short-haired girl, the Brown-haired girl, and the red-haired girl all exclaimed in unison, "Lady Auster, it's an honor to finally meet you. I've wanted to meet you for a
long time, Avro, you still remember me, right?" "It's been too long." Avo waved shily in greeting, "Hello, everyone." She leaned in to ask, "Avo, how's married life? You got married so early after all." The brown-haired girl nodded along. That's right. Avo replied shily. It's truly wonderful. My husband is very Good to me, she asked eagerly. Really? My goodness, he must be gentler than he looks. And there are a few other things we're curious about. Jabbori approached with a glass of wine, joining the group. When was your first kiss? Avo blushed in embarrassment, watching Jabbori casually
sip her wine. The brown-haired girl exclaimed, "Robbery, you can't just ask that out of the blue." The black-haired girl added excitedly. Oh, come on. That's exactly what we want to know. This is just a chat between us ladies. The red-haired girl chimed in eagerly. I am totally ready to hear this story. Avolesed with embarrassment. Well, all three pairs of eyes were sparkling with anticipation. Avo shily confessed. We haven't even kissed yet. Everyone was completely baffled by her answer. Even Jawori was so shocked she spat out the wine she just drank. She stood up, losing her
composure and questioned her. What? After being married for so long, The blonde girl's eyes widened in amazement. No way. Lord Ascelos can't be a real person. In moments like these, Avro could only manage a confident smile while her heart was in turmoil. After all, I had planned to leave after Aselos defeated the sea beast. Since everyone is here, maybe I can find a way to ask what I've always been curious about. She changed the subject. Has everyone heard the rumors about Ascalus? The red-haired girl spoke up. Rumors? Uh, if you mean Those rumors? The blonde
girl asked in an aruck tone. You must know about them, madam. They say Lord Aselos was like a monster when he fought that beast. Avo softly, a monster. She thought worriedly to herself. This is terrible. He's already so lonely. I never imagined there would be rumors like this about him. The blonde girl quickly noticed Avro's troubled expression. "Oh my, I'm sorry, madam. Perhaps you didn't know." She replied softly. "It's all Right. Thank you for telling me." However, I've just remembered something I need to take care of. Please excuse me. With that, Avro left with her
thoughts in a whirl. I can't control my expression anymore. Leaving him alone while these rumors are spreading feels wrong, even for a moment. Jabbori ran after Avro, calling her name. Are you very upset? I apologize on her behalf. That young lady can be a bit tackless. She stopped, biting her lip. I'm not Angry. It's just I need to see Aselos now. The tea table was laden with various drinks, but no one was sitting there. Asos set his wine glass down on the table. Avo liked sweet drinks. Grace approached to greet Lord Oel. He turned his
head to look at him with a scrutinizing gaze. Alo greeted him. Grace. Grace bowed respectfully. It's been a while. It's difficult to get a chance to see you. Forgive my intrusion, but I have something to say. He cut him Off sharply. I have nothing to discuss. Grace tried to persist. It won't take long, my lord. About that expedition. Everything was my fault. Axelos showed no interest. You're talking about something I don't remember. Grace admitted guilty. It's because of me that those rumors started. I still remember that day clearly. Despite your order to stay back, I
stubbornly insisted on commanding my own ship. But unexpectedly, the monster attacked my Ship first, forcing you to. He interrupted coldly enough. He was once again lost in thought. Human arrows and weapons couldn't pierce the beast's tough hide. The more we shot, the angrier the beast got, deflecting the arrows and injuring our own men. Desperate screams rang out as the ship began to sink. The sky turned pitch black, and then Ace Los appeared. He summoned an army of monstrous creatures. They tore the sea beast to shreds. Grace's eyes widened with tension. In his mind, he heard
the gossip. The knights who witnessed the terrifying sight of Asos commanding hundreds of creatures, even stranger than the sea beast. Monsters that only grew stronger by absorbing the sea beast. Fear was all that remained etched in their minds. Now it's too late to change anything. It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it. Just make sure Avro doesn't find out. Grace bowed his head and stammered. Yes, Forgive me. His gaze shifted elsewhere. Grace noticed Avro in the crowd behind Aselus. Understanding the situation, he excused himself. Well, then I'll take my leave. The sun was high
in the sky. He sipped his wine while listening to the gossip around him. Did you see that? Grace actually talked to the monster marquee. Good heavens. Why is Lord Oel even here? Doesn't he know? Honestly, what knight isn't scared of that monster marquee? Only Grace could do it because He's so brave. I don't know how Lady Austel can live with him. Isn't she afraid? She's from the Ro family. They're arrogant nobles who only married for his status. Aselos scowlled angrily at the crowd. They can say whatever nonsense they want about me, but if Avo hears
these rumors, if she wants to leave me, there's nothing more terrifying. I know Avo doesn't want me to silence them because she's gentle and kind to everyone. But even so, I can't Stand by and watch them humiliate her. I won't tolerate it. Alo scrawled with determination. Anyone who dares to insult Avro, I'll wipe out every last one of them. Avo suddenly came from behind him. Excuse me, sir Knights. He froze and turned around. That voice. She crossed her arms and seriously questioned the Knights. I wonder who this monster marquee you're speaking of is. Could it
be you're talking about my husband? They stammered in fear, denying It. We didn't mean it like that. Avo, if not, then what exactly did you mean? Answer me clearly. Isn't my husband the one who single-handedly defeated the sea beast? Without him, every one of you standing before me now could have been monster food. Correct? Instead of showing gratitude to the man you owe your lives to, you insult him behind his back. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Is this the full extent of a Leila Knight's pride? Look me in the eye And answer. Lord Oel
defeated the monster alone. But those knights go around boasting about their own achievements in the battle. My, how shameful. They must have been lying all this time. The two knights, read with shame, bowed their heads and pleaded, "We are truly sorry, Lady Oel. We misspoke, so please don't speak of this." She raised an eyebrow, her voice full of authority. I'm not sure if my accepting your apology will suffice. You Should be asking for forgiveness from my husband who is standing right behind you. They jumped in fear when they saw him standing behind them. Lord Oel,
how long have you been standing there? Avo stepped forward, took Ailos's arm, and declared, "And I married my husband because I love him. How could anyone not love such a handsome face? Though I suppose you wouldn't understand. You're both so unattractive. Your faces just irritate me. Would you please get out of My sight? Hearing her words, the other noble ladies blushed with admiration. The two knights fled in a panic. Yes, we're sorry. Let's go quickly. Avo asked him with concern. Aselos, are you all right hearing things like that? Her eyes widened in surprise as suddenly
pulled her into a hug. Avo blushed stunned. Asel? He asked emotionally. You heard everything, didn't you, Ava? She replied softly. Yes, all of it. Aselus said gently. I had hoped you would never have To hear those things. Avo softly. I'm sorry. He raised an eyebrow, worried. Avo, could it be you pity me? She shook her head. No, it's not that. It's just for some reason I feel like it's my fault. Avo. Even in the original story, Aselos was forced to learn magic. But that was after I died. And yet, he learned magic much earlier than
he was supposed to. It was all because I survived in this world and to prevent my tragic early death. In The end, I was the one who forced Aralos into solitude. The one who pushed him to learn magic. Her voice was full of guilt. If I hadn't brought Olly, you wouldn't have had to face such humiliation. He comforted her gently. It's all right. You're always looking out for me, and you stood up for me. Avo stammered shily. Well, yes, but Acelo placed a hand on his chest and expressed. That's more than enough. Thank you, Avo.
She blushed as she Looked at his smile. Avo trembled with embarrassment. How can you smile at a time like this? I'm really angry. Aselos placed a hand on his chest. But I can't help but feel happy. She was stunned when he suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist. What? Axelos lifted Avro high into the air. He looked into her eyes and confessed, "If you're by my side, I don't care if the whole world turns against me. I love you, Avro, more than anything." The scene changes to the Inside of a magnificent palace. The butler reported
respectfully. "They say there's no discord between the marquee and his wife. In fact, their relationship is unusually strong. The emperor listened to this information in silence. As Andrea entered, he asked Andrea, "Why do you think I took you in, giving you the royal title?" She had just arrived and immediately offered to play the part of the king's daughter. The emperor praised her with Satisfaction. "Good, you understand. Yet, you don't seem to be trying. You didn't even attend the party hosted by Lady Jabori." Andrea frowned, thinking to herself that the old man truly knew nothing. How
could someone who inherited a kingdom be so incompetent? But outwardly, she still answered respectfully. How could I attend just because an invitation was sent? Lady Jabori and Lady Oel are best friends. Everyone at that party clearly supports The Oel couple. If I attend, not only me, but the entire royal family will become the target of gossip, and the monarchy's reputation will immediately suffer a blow. Hearing this, he roared in anger. Is that so? And we're just going to let that Oscar be? You know very well that I'm not just worried about your marriage. Andrea remained
calm and persuasive. There's no guarantee the Marquee isn't plotting a rebellion. The emperor lost his temper And shouted even louder. How would you know? No one can see into another's heart. She sighed to herself. So, he's just worried about the noble faction's power growing, even though the monarchy is already a joke. Andrea was lost in thought. For the past 9 years, the sea beast has terrorized the kingdom. And unfortunately for the king, the hero who emerged from the chaos was Lord Oel. Since the hostel family traditionally aligns with the noble faction, the Hero's appearance severely
weakened the monarchy overnight. And now, in his desperation, my father expects me to marry into the very family he abandoned and handled this matter. It's utterly ridiculous. She maintained a gentle demeanor and said, "Father, will you hear me out one more time? At this rate, we will never be able to separate Lord Oel and his wife." The emperor, anxious to hear Andrea's opinion, asked. So, what should we do? The emperor listened Intently to her plan. Actually, I have a good idea. I will personally ask Lord Oel to teach me magic. The Emperor's eyes widened in
surprise magic. Andrea placed a hand on her chest as a guarantee. Yes, I've actually already passed Lord Oel's assessment. His eyes widened with joy. Is that really true? She sneered inwardly. Of course, it's a lie, Andrea explained. I've already arranged things with Lord Oel, and I will be studying at the Oel Estate from now on. The condition is to quell the rumors since I'll no longer be at the royal palace. Therefore, you must keep my absence a secret. The emperor cleared his throat to regain his authority. Very well. Do as you wish. It's a shame
to let the scandal die down, but it's all for the greater good. She bowed respectfully. Please trust me, your majesty. Then I'll take my leave. All right, now I've regained my freedom. I wonder what that sweet spring-l like Avro is planning to do. Back on the party grounds. Avo shily said, "Asel, aren't you a little too close?" Aselus held her tightly and asked, "Am I?" Avo looked down in embarrassment. He follows me everywhere under the guise of showing affection and his physical contact has become much bolder. Because of that, we're being called the perfect couple.
I'm not sure if it's Avro's body's reaction or if I'm genuinely embarrassed. She suggested nervously. Arcelus, maybe we should go back inside. Andrea suddenly appeared and greeted them. Avo jumped and pulled away from him. Your highness. She appeared looking disheveled and worn out. Oh my goodness, I'm showing you such a shameful sight. My apologies. She looked at her with a puzzled expression. It's all right. Is something wrong? Andrea laughed and explained. I'm really sorry for interrupting like this. If you could, would you present my request to Lord Oel? It's quite urgent. Abra was lost in
thought. I was supposed to tell earlier, but I completely forgot while preparing for the party. It's a bit late now, but I'm sure Alo will understand if I explain it properly. Seeing that Alos didn't look well, she explained. Actually, Alo, there's something I wanted to ask you regarding the princess. He asked coldly. Why are you here? Avoad in shock as Andrea told the truth. It's only natural. Of course, It's because of Lady Avro. Aselus growled, his face dark. Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I don't know you want to manipulate my innocent wife? Avo tried
to intervene and explain. It's not like that, Aselus. Andrea deliberately clung to Avro's arm and acted pitiful. I understand you're sensitive about the scandal, my lord. But Lady Avro and I have become friends now. Because I wanted to get closer to her, I had to personally ask his majesty to Quell those rumors. He grumbled, annoyed, lying again. I'm sure of it. She looked into Avro's eyes with a bright smile. Look at this innocent face. Alo said irritably. Don't believe her, Avro. She cleared her throat and explained. Actually, her highness wants to learn magic from you.
So, if you're okay with it, he snapped angrily. No way. Avo stammered nervously. I suppose the request is a bit sudden, but still. Alo said, "I said no, and I mean no, Avro." Andrea laughed and explained. I'm truly sorry for coming and going so suddenly, but I must leave now. Could you let me know your final decision after you two have discussed it? I'm sorry, but please help me with this. Avo? He suddenly snapped, shouting. Wait, who gave you permission to call her Avro? Don't be so familiar. She was shocked. Is that really the problem?
She ignored Aselos and gave Avo a playful wink. You're getting in the way of our Friendship now, Lord Oel. But I'll become close to her anyway. Avo? He continued to rage. If you call her Avo one more time, Andrea said mischievously. Well, I'm off then. See you later, Avo. She left, leaving the two of them stunned and bewildered. Alo voiced his opinion. Avo, I have absolutely no intention of teaching the princess magic. She wanted to explain nervously. Aselus. He gritted his teeth in anger. First you used her to demand a Divorce, and now you want
me to teach her magic. You may not see it, but she is extremely manipulative. Avo looked up and pleaded, Even so, we really need the princess. She was also a little worried. I know it's unreasonable to ask for this without an explanation, but I'm sure the princess is also preparing for the future based on the original story. A smirk appeared on Axelos's lips. He immediately agreed and made a request. All right, then promise me one thing. Avo asked puzzled. A promise? What kind of promise? The princess said I could be a powerful mage, but my
magic compatibility is lacking. I don't know how useful the princess can be, but she's Avo's enemy. She just twists Avo around to serve her own purposes. Even though I knew about this obstacle, I still Ace Lo started the conversation. I've been waiting for you to bring that up. She replied with a guilty tone. I'm sorry for not explaining everything Sooner. He interrupted her. That's not what I wanted to talk about, Avro. Alikos lifted Avro's chin and expressed, "I've been waiting tirelessly for the day you would cancel your request for a divorce. If you want me
to teach the princess, then promise me this first." She blushed and whispered, "What is it, Aselis?" He placed a kiss on Avro's forehead and proposed. The promise that we'll divorce when we find someone we like. Can we get rid of it? That's really all I want. After being together for so long, it's only natural for these feelings to develop. I see the way he always looks at me, the way he never leaves my side, and how all his joy and sorrow revolve around me. No matter how oblivious I am, I know his actions go beyond
simple affection. And she knew it, too. But Ace Los needed an air. And with this magic intolerance, I can't bear his child. A noble family without an heir. There's no way Assel Doesn't understand how ridiculous that is. Avo hesitated and stammered. Aselos, you already know I. Alo affirmed once more, I love you, Avro. I can't imagine a life without you. In her mind, she recalled the painful memories of her past life of love. Even the situations I witnessed firsthand were ones where people's emotions were disregarded, filled only with resentment and anger. Love, does that emotion
really exist? Avo felt a little uncertain about what Asel said. Love, maybe he's just blinded by a fleeting feeling right now. But in 10 or 20 years, will he still be able to say he loves me? Eventually, he'll want someone who can give him an heir. And then what will happen to me? who only lives for his love. Will I end up living like my mother?" She took a step back and said softly, "I'm sorry. I just I can't." Avoet. I've always sworn I'd never love anyone because I don't want to live like my Mother.
She clenched her fists. Avoidly expressed her stance. Aslo, I hope you don't love me because I can't break your curse, nor can I make you truly happy. Only the princess can lift the hostel family's curse. So, please go to her aselus. And please forget about me. I'm so pathetic, foolishly wanting to be by his side a little longer. Even though I wish for his happiness, anything is possible. All I can do is covet a position I don't deserve, and I've even Hurt him. I never meant to bring up the princess so suddenly. I'm sorry. I'm
so sorry. She returned to her room and threw the door open. Avo hurriedly packed her belongings. It's not too late. I can grab the bag I prepared and leave. His heart may ache for a short time, but the pain will soon fade. She tremblingly wrote a letter to him. Please forget me and live happily. Avo left behind just a few words. Forgive me for wanting a place by your side. A Place I don't deserve. Aselus quickly chased after her. He turned pale with shock when he saw the scene in the room. Ailos's pupils dilated in
disbelief. Avo flinched when she heard him call her name Avro. Wait, I won't be able to understand if you don't tell me what's bothering you. When you defended me at that party and with everything that happened at the estate, I thought we shared the same feelings. Even if your heart isn't completely mine yet, I Believed that if I tried harder and made progress, things would get better. She was determined and picked up her suitcase. I'm sorry, Aselos. Aselos asked in confusion, "My confession, was it too much of a burden for you?" He stood frozen, watching
Avro walk away coldly. Aselos snapped out of it when she walked past him and left a message. I hope you live well, Aselos. His face darkened as he broke out in a cold sweat. Aselus couldn't accept the Reality. No, don't leave me, Avro. Why do you keep trying to abandon me? You've made it so I can't live without you. So why do you keep thinking about leaving? It's fine if you don't love me yet. If I try, you'll eventually come to see me. But if you leave, that chance will disappear, too. I can't accept it.
Don't leave me, Avo. Don't abandon me. It seemed as if his thoughts manifested and affected Avro. Alo panicked when he saw her collapse. Avo. He rushed to catch Avo before she hit the ground. Aselus trembled with fear. It's because I can't control my magic properly. From now on, I'll be more careful so that won't happen again. He prayed silently. So, please don't leave me. A while later, she opened her eyes and woke up. Avo sat up confused. Did I faint? Aslo immediately realized she doesn't remember anything. He nodded and replied, "Yes, but only for a
moment." She covered her mouth and yawned. "So, What happened?" He quickly blamed Andrea. "Perhaps it's because the princess's magic has awakened." "You're exhausted, right? Get some rest. You'll feel much better." Avo laughed obliviously. "I do feel a little sleepy." Ace said guilty. "I'm sorry, Avo." She looked up and smiled. "Sorry for what? It can't be helped. It's because of my magic intolerance. And besides, I was the one who asked you to teach the princess magic. His eyes Welled up with tears as he apologized. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry, Avro. Avoered by Aselus' strange behavior. What?
Magic intolerance isn't something he can prevent. Why is he apologizing so much? She asked anxiously. Ace Los, are you crying? It's not your fault I fainted. You don't need to apologize. Avo herself. Don't tell me you're sad because I'm sick. She leaned forward and touched his cheek comfortingly. I'm really fine. Can you hold me for a bit? The fresh air will probably make me feel better. You never cried as a child, but you've become such a crybaby as an adult. Don't worry, Aslo. Everything will be fine with time. Axelos lifted Avro and carried her outside.
She changed the subject. By the way, asos about blue. Let's change its name later. Blue means seal, right? But when we finally return to Oel, that name won't be suitable anymore. He still didn't dare to look into Ava's eyes. Well Still visit Liola from time to time. You're not thinking of leaving, are you? She stammered nervously. No, of course not. Anyway, please think about my suggestion. Ace Los nodded in agreement. All right, I'll consider it. But a possessive thought arose in his heart. I may have let it go this time, but if you try to
leave me again, then I really don't know what I'll do. Avo looked at the clothes she was wearing and remarked, "This dress feels a bit Loose." She suddenly remembered, "Sa did say, "I've lost weight recently, but I just brushed it off." Avo tried to adjust the cuff of her dress. It must be the magic intolerance that's making me thinner. She prayed silently. The princess is visiting today. I hope she doesn't notice I'm unwell. I also have a lot of things to ask her. She's probably waiting in the drawing room. I have to hurry. A moment
later, Avro cautiously peaked her head out from behind the door To greet her. I'm sorry to keep you waiting, your highness. Princess Andrea seemed very happy to see her. My spring breeze, it's been too long. Abro maintained her politeness and asked, "Have you been well since we last met?" She tilted her head slightly, her expression sad as she replied, "I'm well, but you seem thinner than the last time I saw you, Avro." Avoled, she noticed. However, on the surface, Avro just laughed it off. The doctor Said, "It's simply due to fatigue. Nothing serious, so please
don't worry." Princess Andrea still seemed unconvinced and asked further, "If that's the case, then I'm glad. But you are eating properly, right?" She reassured her. "Of course, your highness. Please don't worry." Avo has become so overprotective lately. Ever since I fainted, he's even added more guards. "Everything has become excessive." She observed quietly as if Deep in thought. the one who can break the hostel family's curse, the hero of this world. If it's the princess, I'm sure Arcelus and even the entire world of this novel can be safely entrusted to her. With that thought, Avro spoke
up. Your highness, this may be a bit sudden, but could I ask you for a favor? Princess Andrea turned back, looking always ready to help. A favor? Of course. Go ahead. She reached out and touched the other's hand with a silent Hope. If it's the princess, she'll surely help rename Blue. She has to establish the magic tower and turn the kingdom into a magical nation, just like in the original story. Plus, she will definitely help me. A hint of sadness crossed Avro's face as she pleaded, "Your highness, if if it's possible, I have to leave.
Can I count on you to help me?" Princess Andrea was so stunned she froze for a moment. She could sense it perhaps, but Princess Andrea forced a Smile. If it's just a short trip, won't your husband be able to help? Avoid denied it. It might be a trip I can't tell him about. She looked like she was about to cry as she pleaded. If that happens, I want you to keep it a secret. Princess Andrea realized Avro was preparing to leave. She didn't think she could fulfill this request and explained, "How can I help with
something like that? Your husband cares for you deeply after all. Avo knew that, But she had no other choice. But there's still no cure for magic intolerance. I'm not planning to leave right away, but my future plans are. Suddenly, a threatening voice came from behind. Who gave you permission to do that? She heard it and whipped her head around in terror. Avo recognized as standing there. Aslo. He seemed to have overheard their conversation. His sudden appearance made her rush to explain. Wait, that's not what I meant. Ailos's Gaze softened. Avo, even without your memories, you
still think that way. He suggested, your highness, please leave us for a moment. Princess Andrea, being very understanding, agreed immediately. Of course, I'll take my leave. As soon as they were alone in the room, Alo warned Avro, "Avo, I'll make this clear. If you try to leave me again, I can't guarantee what will happen. Even if I don't mean to, my magic will surely go out of control. Who knows what that Outofc control magic will do to this world you hold dear? Isn't it time you told me the truth? How do you, with your magic
intolerance, know about the existence of Violet, or asking me to teach the princess magic? The person behind that scandal? Her face turned pale as she lowered her head. Avo looked up, wanting to explain. Alo about that. He cut her off with a cold laugh. You really don't know anything about me. All this time I've been by your side, I've Always listened to every word you say. After I promised not to eavesdrop anymore, I try to stop listening with magic. But you know, my physical senses are far beyond any normal persons. Afro was stunned because she
had previously declared, "From now on, I'm determined to change." Hearing Assel say that, she was shocked to realize. So, he heard everything I just said. He suddenly grabbed Avo's hand and asked Avro, "Is my question too hard to answer?" She Avoided Aselis's gaze and had to explain, "Well, it's because I have prophetic dreams." But he didn't believe her at all and immediately denied it. You're lying. Only those blessed by the gods can have prophetic dreams. With your magic intolerance, that's impossible. Avoid didn't reply, looking down at her hands and thinking, "I'm at a loss for
words. What should I do now?" Ailos's expression became emotional and pained. He suddenly spoke up. Even so, I Believe you, Avro. She was naturally startled to hear that. Alo walked towards Avro step by step. Whether your dreams are real or not doesn't matter to me because to me, everything you say is the truth. He carefully pulled her into an embrace and expressed himself. Avo surprised that things turned out this way. She slowly began to feel it. My heart is beating so fast. Guilt and regret towards Asel. And then she pulled away from Aselus and said,
"Let me go, Ascelus." Avo blushed slightly and made an excuse for her body's uncontrollable reaction. All the emotions I've hidden seem to be bursting out. They must be Avo's feelings. Otherwise, she still seemed determined to do things her way. I need to go. So, Acelo seemed to understand why Avro was acting this way. Are you flustered? Because I admitted to hearing your private thoughts. She admitted, "Yes, that's it. I'm too embarrassed to face you now." He knew I Was lying and still approached me. How can I reject someone who trusts me so completely? He reached
his hand towards Avro and laughed. I promised I'd never eavesdrop again, she asserted. Of course. You'd better not in the future. But Aselos's sudden kiss cut her off before she could finish her sentence. Ava was completely stunned and couldn't react. He suggested a bit shy. If you want to go again, don't leave in secret. Just go with me. No one can protect you Better than I can. That sentence made her entire face turn bright red. Ace Los alone in his office buried his face in his hands as he remembered. Why did I do that? He
felt regret for what he had done. Even if it was just a mistake, my magic could be dangerous to Avo. I should have been more careful. Yet, I selfishly kissed her. Aselos helplessly blamed himself. Seriously, am I a lost cause? Then he touched his lips again, remembering the moment they kissed. Whenever I'm near Avro, my heart flutters uncontrollably. To say I love you. To say I'm sorry. Even if I spent the whole night expressing all my feelings to you, Avro, a lifetime wouldn't be enough. Even if I pretend to smile to be a gentle, caring
husband or become a great man that anyone who knows me would be proud of, it doesn't change the fact that my magic is dangerous to you. Alo thought uneasily. I know you'll be healthy if You leave me, but without you, what reason do I have to keep living in this world? He remained in that gloomy mood, standing lost in thought by his desk, unable to cure the illness of the one I love, knowing that if I don't find a solution, I'll eventually have no choice but to let you go. How can people call me a
hero or say I'm great? Thinking this, Aselus couldn't help but click his tongue. He picked up a piece of paper that was on the desk. After reading the Contents, Aselos seemed to have made a decision. I tried to ignore it, but it seems I have no choice but to use that method. As Aro said, if we rename the tower, mages will soon appear all over Liola, turning it into a magical nation. Even now, with the tower sealed, mages are starting to appear. But other than Andrea, who has high magic compatibility, I have sealed all other
mages. He stared intently at the paper, no longer hesitating, and made his Decision. Even if this draws criticism or harms my own body, it doesn't matter because if the seal is opened, Avro will collapse just by meeting a magic user outside. Aselos wasted no time and strode towards the door. I know it's selfish, but I can still control it for now. The tower is helping to control the concentration of magic. I will continue my research. He reached out and opened the door. Ace Los quickly left the room to carry out his plan. If I can
keep Avro by my side, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Even if it means using the power of Blue's seal to eliminate all magic from Ladyola. Elsewhere, Avro seemed to be observing something thoughtfully. On the table were piles of gift boxes. On the other side were invitation cards that made her wonder, "These people, do they have too much money?" Avo asked with a slight headache. They say this territo's economy isn't good. So what is all this, Senna? Senna happily pointed to the pile of things and explained. My lady, what you said is quite hurtful.
These are all new items purchased within the very strict budget you allocated. She seemed genuinely confused. What does that even mean? She explained excitedly. The group of merchants who visited sold them at a very cheap price. Avo seemed to remember and wanted to confirm. You mean that rude pushy merchant guild that forced their way into the estate last time? Senna confirmed it and then speculated curiously. Yes, that's them. Apparently, our estate wasn't the only place they visited. They went to other houses, too. They're from the Empila Empire. It must be part of their culture. They
mass-produce items, making even expensive things affordable, and they conveniently deliver them right to our estate. Aro heard the familiar name and added, "The Empila Empire. That country is famous for trade, but mass production Sounds a bit unusual." But she, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. At first, I found them suspicious, too. But it's clear that it's a tactic they came up with to eliminate the inflated prices from other Empila merchants. They asked me if I could help balance the market, and I happily agreed. Senna was still excited, as she recalled. Also, I
finally bought that beautiful silk ribbon at a cheap price. I've always wanted a gray ribbon. After hearing the Story, Avro thought, seriously, no matter how you look at it, it's suspicious. Selling goods for less than the cost of materials and trying to create a new trend. Looking closer, the quality is strangely poor. She suddenly spoke up. Wait a minute. Senna still didn't understand what was happening. My lady, are you going on a break? She quickly threw on a set of clothes and denied it. No, I'm planning to go into town myself. She then excitedly jumped
To another topic. You want to go on a date in town with Lord Arcelus? I'll go inform him right away. Avo, I'm going alone. Arcelus is busy with research right now. Even so, Senna still enthusiastically suggested. This is also a good opportunity for Lord Arcelus to get some fresh air. She had to confirm again. Asshel is busy. I don't want to bother him. Avoared when she remembered their kiss. Besides, after that, it's too awkward to face Him. If I go dressed as a noble, I won't be able to uncover the true intentions of that merchant
guild. She felt the clothes she had chosen were perfect for the situation. Before leaving, Avro had to carefully give one last instruction. Anyway, I'm going out with Senna today. No need to tell Asel. Senna's expression didn't look very pleased. Just as she was about to leave, Aselos suddenly appeared and asked, "Where are you going?" which made Avo freeze. Asel? He Seemed ready to go out. Alo said with a hurt expression. You were planning to go without me. Avo stood blocking the door, asking pitifully. Were you really planning to go without me, Avro? Avo reluctantly made
up an excuse. I was just going to check out the town with Senna. He sounded like he'd been abandoned as he exposed her. From what I heard, it seems you were planning to sneak out. So, she had to explain. I simply didn't want to disturb your Research. But Arcelus didn't feel that way. Avo, you never disturb me. Avo, besides, I find it strange to report to you every time I go out. I just want to investigate the recently famous merchant guild. He quickly understood her meaning. You mean the merchant guild from the Empila Empire? Aselos
suggested, "Actually, I also find that guild suspicious, so let's go together." Avoided and advised him, "Really? If you're only Going for my sake, you don't have to. But he immediately denied it. That's not it. This investigation is necessary anyway. If Assel comes along, nothing dangerous will happen. We're dressed as commoners, so we don't know how the merchant guild and passers by will react. She imagined the worst case scenario of being caught by the guild members. Why are you investigating our guild? In the end, Avro made a decision. All right, but we'll dress as commoners. Aselos
naturally agreed. Okay, of course, Avro. Senna even excitedly added a reminder. Don't forget to buy me a gift. Avoid. Hearing that, she was very moved and praised her. My lady, you're the best. Aselus felt relieved watching the two of them talk, but he quickly regained his seriousness to reflect. The Empire is one of the threats the kingdom is watching closely. If this is part of a plan to invade the kingdom, I need to Know. Meanwhile, the two of them were still happily chatting. Aselos glanced at them. It would be best if I went by myself
to keep Avro safe in the estate, but that would only make her unhappy. I'll avoid doing things she dislikes if I can. When she was alone, Avro thought to herself, I should have left right after meeting Alice. Even if the empire plays a major role in invading the kingdom, it's usually not a major threat. She recalled everything. At this Point, magical tools should have been common to the public, and Ailos's students should have matured. Liola should have become a magical kingdom by now. But because of me, that future was ruined. Instead of researching magical tools,
Aselos was busy looking into my illness. and the magic tower, which should have amplified the kingdom's magical power, was sealed to protect me. Avo seemed to have predicted the situation. Aselus has no intention of Leaving me. And even if we separate, things won't turn out exactly as I thought. Now that it's come to this, I have to do what I can. By staying with Aselus, I'll help steer events back to their original course. Just then, a voice called out. Avo, I'm ready. She looked up towards the source of the sound. You're done already, Assel. Then
Avro's jaw dropped in amazement when she saw him and asked, "When did you prepare all this?" Aselos wore an Outfit just like hers and replied cheerfully, "What's so special? I've always used magic for these things." He further explained, "I'm still wearing the same clothes, but to others, I look completely different. It only uses ambient magic, so it won't harm you." Avo laughed happily at that. and suggested, "Great, let's go." Then the carriage set off, rolling down the road. While inside the carriage, Avro was asked, "By the way, Avro, are your Prophetic dreams real?" She immediately
confirmed, "Of course, Assel." Aselos asked further out of curiosity. "So, do you see anything about the future?" Avo slightly. She could only find an excuse. I haven't dreamed that far yet, but I don't think anything unusual will happen. He seemed relieved by this answer. Really, that's a relief. I was worried something bad might happen. Avo then fell silent, lost in thought. Even though he knows someone with magic Intolerance like me can't have prophetic dreams, does he really believe me? At that moment, the carriage stopped. Aselos got out of the carriage and introduced the place to
her. We're here. This is the market where merchants set up shop. A nearby shop was cheerfully advertising cheap goods very cheap here. Buy the best fabrics from the empire for just one silver coin. Another was enthusiastically pulling in customers. We're also giving away buttons as gifts. Avo looked at him and commented. The entrance is already crowded with empire merchants. Aselos suggested I'll go ask if there are any dresses that can be bought with a silver coin. Avoid didn't object and carefully reminded him. Be careful not to get caught, He went straight to a nearby clothing
store to inquire. Excuse me. My wife heard that there's a place that sells noblestyle dresses very cheaply. I only have about 10 silver coins. The clothing Store owner enthusiastically welcomed Aselos. That's more than enough. I see you're interested in our goods. With the Empire's technology, we can easily make a beautiful dress for just 10 silver coins. He added, "Even Princess Andrea recently bought a dress from our guild." Avo looked incredulous. Is that so? The clothing store owner immediately brought out a few outfits from a shop to showcase. Doesn't that prove the credibility of our guild?
Come on, pick Whichever one you like. She feigned surprise and asked, "Oh my, how is that possible? Just the fabric alone costs more than that. He felt this was very normal. It's all thanks to the empire's techniques. The people of Liola are simply being overcharged. Everyone on the continent buys at this price. Avoided more information, so she asked, "Have you always traded with Leiola?" The clothing store owner finished explaining and then realized, "Thanks to Lord Oel opening the trade route, we can even sell cheaper. But you're not really interested in these dresses, are you, madam?
She quickly denied it. No, that's not it. Just then, Aselos beside her spoke up. That much is a bit difficult. He was trying to help Avro. That's all I could save. You see, I know you're excited because it's been a while since you've been out, but please choose one quickly. She also understood Arcelissa's meaning. He's indirectly telling me not To dig any deeper. Avoided expression. Well, I think Andrea already chose a prettier one. He said sincerely to me, "Whichever dress you choose is the most beautiful." She picked up the yellow one. "Really?" The clothing store
owner seeing this enthusiastically agreed. "Exactly. That yellow dress is perfect for you." Avoision. "Then we'll take this one." He was very happy and laughed loudly. "Thank you very much, madam. Thank you. The two Left the store and the owner even waved enthusiastically after them. Please come again. She looked at the paper bag in her hand and thought. He gave me a folded dress. Ava remained vigilant and thought carefully. His behavior seemed sincere, but this guild has only recently been licensed to trade in Liola. The prices are extremely low, and even though they say it's because
of the empire's production methods, it's still very suspicious. She judged that this Was even lower than the wages paid to ordinary workers. Aslo also noticed the abnormality and offered his opinion. It's absurd for a merchant to pursue profits lower than the cost like this. Avo completely agreed. Exactly. It's all absurd. He considered it would probably be good to investigate who's backing them. She didn't seem to understand. Backing. Aselos explained in detail they might be colluding with high-ranking officials of the empire or they could be Spies trying to infiltrate the kingdom. Avo felt a little uneasy
and thought it over. Merchants can certainly access information easily. But who and why? Selling goods this cheaply requires huge financial backing. No, there's only one person who could do something like this. The crown prince of the Empila Empire. the one who declared war on Leola when it emerged as a magical nation. Although that person will surely disappear when Aselos takes action, his appearance Isn't even clearly described. But he's depicted very clearly as a ruthless person willing to do anything to achieve his goals. She couldn't seem to remember clearly. I only remember his hair was described
as being red as blood. So Abro asked Assel, "Who is the current crown prince of the Ampila Empire?" Aselos told her briefly, "Hyman, he was recently made crown prince. He works very aggressively to consolidate his power." She was a bit startled by that And immediately denied it. "No way." Aro's footsteps stopped. "Asel, it's just my suspicion, but Crown Prince Hyen Mung is very likely the one behind all of this." She said it, but she seemed very sure. Asos seemed a little surprised. Crown Prince Hien Mung. He didn't think so and was about to object even
if he is aggressive and has power. Isn't it true that the Empila Empire doesn't really have influence in Liola? Avoic Dreams, right? Recently, I dreamt that a war broke out. She said what she knew. In the future, blue has been renamed to ASD and Leola has become a magical nation. Alo understood. So that's why you suggested changing the name. Avo quickly admitted. That's right. All right. Axelos didn't hesitate to suggest I understand. Then we should prepare in advance. This made her feel a bit amazed. I didn't think he would believe me so easily. Avo hesitated
a bit and Asked again, do you really believe me? It's not that easy to accept. He on the other hand felt this was very normal. You're the one who said it. Why wouldn't I trust you easily? She felt a bit helpless. What? Aselos didn't mind and changed the subject anyway. Give me that bag. I'll carry it for you. Avo felt it was unnecessary, but still gave him the bag as he said. It's just one dress. How heavy can it be? She pondered deeply. Anyone would probably think it's absurd, So foolish. Aselos truly believes what I
say. It's really painful to not be honest with someone who trusts me so completely. The two of them then returned to the estate. On the table was a very carefully made cake. When Avro saw it, she praised it with delight. Today's dessert is waffles. They look delicious. Senna enthusiastically welcomed them. Yes, my lady. Welcome back. She proudly introduced it to Aselis. I know the best way to eat Waffles. Wait a moment. He saw how much Avro seemed to like it and offered. If you like it this much, I'll give you my portion. Avo. However, she
refused. No, you should try it like this. Aselos was slightly moved as he looked at the waffle in front of him. You like sweets so much, yet you made this for me. But Avro didn't pay it much mind. It's no big deal. Just try it. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation for his reaction. It was a combination I used to love when I Worked part-time in Korea. After tasting it, Aselos exclaimed, "It's really delicious." Avo seemed very pleased with this answer. "Yes, I told you it was delicious." She suddenly reached out and touched his face. "You
have some cream here, asshole." Avo smiled innocently and teased. Sometimes you're like a child. Alo splashed slightly and thought. Avo seems much happier since she found a clue. That's a relief, but he voiced the question that had been on His mind for a long time. Avo, sometimes I wonder if you see me as a man. She still didn't seem to understand why Arcelus would suddenly ask that. He added, you're so comfortable being close, touching my face so normally. Avo reached for the teacup on the table. What's the big deal? It's just the two of us.
But Aselos's next sentence made her blush and almost choke. "We've kissed after all." Avo exclaimed in embarrassment. "Asel?" He leaned his Face close to hers and asked, "You didn't like it when I kissed you?" Avoided him. I was able to forget about it, but now asked again, "Was it so unpleasant that you wanted to forget it?" Hearing that, she quickly denied it. "It wasn't unpleasant. It's just that I'm the only one." Then Avo abruptly stopped as if she had realized something. She saw two maids standing there with gossipy expressions and wondered, "What? When did Senna
and Rio Get here?" When Asos saw Avro wasn't focused, he called out, "Avo, where are you looking? I'm right here." He got even closer and pressed, "What were you about to say?" It wasn't unpleasant. And then, "What?" This made her shout in embarrassment, "Your face is too close." Her face was flushed and her head was spinning. He seems to have realized I have a weakness for that face. Acelo smiled gently and suggested, "Perhaps if we do it again, you'll realize your Feelings." Avo panicked and refused immediately. "No, I'm fine. Really." Just then, Odin rushed in
and pushed the door open to announce, "My lord, my lady, the merchant guild has arrived just outside the estate." She frantically pushed him away and ordered the merchant guild, let them in. However, he added, "The problem is it's the merchant guild from the Empila Empire that visited last time, and the atmosphere is quite tense." Hearing That, both of them were slightly startled and composed themselves. Avo rushed towards the door to confirm the merchants from the Empila Empire are back. Odin confirmed firmly. Yes, it's strange for them to return so soon after their last visit. She
seemed to have calmed down after grasping the situation. Actually, it's not strange for merchants to come to the estate. Odin is a veteran head butler. He must have noticed something suspicious, too. If the guild arriving at this time is Delochi, then this is really troublesome because that guild is. A voice from outside announced, "Had butler, the merchants have broken through the estate gates. Someone outside was aggressively chastising." "What? How dare they be so disrespectful?" Her expression turned serious because that guild is personally run by Crown Prince Emblea. The person waiting outside had fiery red hair.
After observing, he let out a small Laugh. So, this is the place. Crown Prince Hyen Mung asked with a mocking tone, "The home of the esteemed hero." Odin reminded him without hesitation, "Didn't I instruct you clearly to wait outside the gate? Are you not aware that this behavior is disrespectful in Ladyola?" He didn't seem angry and explained, "I don't understand how merchants coming to sell their goods could be considered disrespectful. Our merchant guild has many quality items. I'm sure even the esteemed hero will be pleased with our goods. Avo listened to them talk and wondered
anxiously, approaching so aggressively and rudely. What exactly are their intentions? Just then, a voice called out, startling her. Avo, I'll handle this. Can you wait in your room for a while? Avo seemed a little hesitant, but Aselus. He spoke up to explain, "If your prophetic dream is correct, they are our enemies. And as The head of the house, I have a duty to protect you and our family." Ace Los reached for her hand and kissed it. "Your safety is the most important thing to me." He gently and carefully touched Avo's face. Crown Prince Hyman and
Aselos stood facing each other. He glanced towards Avro, who was standing behind. So that's the rumored Martianus. He noticed the crown prince's gaze and snapped. Who are you looking at? He made up a random excuse. My apologies. I'm Just a guard unfamiliar with noble etiquette. Aselos didn't want to bother and asked directly. Enough. State your reason for trespassing on my estate. Crown Prince Hi Mung seemed to disagree with his words. Trespassing? We are merely merchants promoting our goods. We are the merchant guild from the Empila Empire. Faced with fierce competition in Empila, we came to
establish friendly relations with Ladyola. Aselus' face showed clear annoyance and disbelief. He Ignored his expression and continued, "And among the families here, we want to establish a relationship with the most influential one, the Oel family. I hope to establish a good relationship with Marquel." The person Crown Prince Hyman was targeting was Arcelus. He clearly showed his unwelcoming and dissatisfied attitude towards him. You speak too boldly for an uninvited guest. I have no reason to accept negotiations from someone I can't trust. Crown Prince Hyen Mung didn't hesitate to state his terms 10 years. If you accept
a deal with us, we will provide goods at a minimum price for 10 years. However, Arcelus remained firm in his initial stance. We have enough goods without your discounts. Therefore, we have no reason to trade with you. Yet, he didn't seem offended at all and casually changed the subject. What a pity, by the way, if I may ask. Crown Prince Hyen Mung looked up above his head, this invisible energy Surrounding the estate. They say it's magic. Ace Los reached out and touched those magic particles. I've only heard that very sensitive knights can feel magical power.
Such an ability seems a bit much for an ordinary merchant guard. He assessed him with a meaningful look. Crown Prince Hian Mung didn't answer, but bowed politely. I'll take that as a compliment. Please reconsider our proposal. Ace gave him the same answer as before. My decision will not change. Leave. Crown Prince HiM looked regretful. What a true pity. His gaze was threatening. You will regret this choice. In any case, it was an honor to meet you, Lord Oel. He said nothing, just stood still and watched Crown Prince Hyen Mung leave. The door slammed shut in
front of Aselus. Inside the room, a maid's concerned voice asked, "My lady, are you all right?" "You must have been frightened." Avo quickly replied to reassure her. "No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern," Senna offered. "I'll bring some hot tea to help you calm down." She anxiously recalled the image of Crown Prince Hi Mung from earlier and told herself, "That man is definitely not an ordinary guard." The aura around him is much stronger than that of a merchant's escort. Even the merchant leader was intimidated by him. Hair as red as blood, an image flashed
through her mind. At that moment, Avro was startled As if she had realized the truth. Could it be? Meanwhile, Crown Prince Hien Mung had left the estate. A member of the merchant guild cautiously asked, "Excuse me, how did it go?" "Your Highness, Crown Prince Hyen Mung." Despite being rejected, his mood didn't seem bad. Crown Prince Hyen Mung even cheerfully asked himself, "Now what?" He suddenly remembered Avro's fearful expression when she saw him. Crown Prince Hyen Mung laughed with amusement And then ordered, "Let's go back. I'll consider our next move. The carriage began to roll away.
He Mung always struggled to erase the stigma of being the son of a barbarian mother. Constantly threatened because of his bloodline. He achieved many accomplishments before becoming the crown prince. But even after becoming the crown prince, his position was not stable enough to consolidate power. He planned to control all of Leola. But Suddenly, Aselos appeared. a hero with extraordinary power known as magic. Since Aselos is now considered a hero in Liola, Haiman decided to tame Aselos himself, which is why he visited the Oel estate. Crown Prince Hienm suddenly asked, "You said Liola is very cheerful."
The merchant guild member quickly affirmed, "Yes, your highness." He assessed the current situation. Preparing Delayer's merchant ships to visit under the pretext of establishing Trade should be enough, he quickly suggested. So, should we just leave the representative position open? But Crown Prince Hi Monk didn't want to do that. No, I'll continue as a guard for now. The guild member quickly accepted the order. I understand. I'll inform them immediately. He softly repeated a name, Liola. Unlike the deserts of Empila, this place is warm with flowers and fruits in bloom. Crown Prince Hien Mung observed the scene
outside and recalled, "My mother's homeland. I've always wanted to visit once, though I didn't think I'd visit like this. Actually, it feels like I've been there before." The image of Avro flashed in his mind again. Unfortunately, the hero Arcelus doesn't seem easy to control. But isn't there a woman who embodies the spring of Leiola? No doubt that woman changes things. Crown Prince Hyen Mung was very pleased to have figured out a secret that was the hero's weakness. Meanwhile, at Arcelus's estate, he was still lost in thought. The suspicious visit from the merchant guild, their hidden
motives, the merchants swarming the estate, and that mysterious guard. Avo kept replaying in his mind. I can't sleep. Asos remembered Avro's careful reminder at that time. It's best to investigate who's backing them. It's probably someone from the Empila nobility. That made him feel anxious. She must be talking about the dream of War. Empila intends to weaken Liola and has probably already planted spies here. Arcelos turned and asked, "What is it?" Senna announced, "My lord, your student has arrived." He was a bit surprised. "What?" Asos was confused and wondered at this hour. Princess Andrea spoke politely.
I'm very sorry to disturb you so late, Marquostel. Aselos frowned, a little suspicious of her sudden appearance. What brings the princess here at this hour? Princess Andrea sighed, perhaps tired of his overly suspicious attitude. While reviewing confidential documents on magic intolerance, I found this. You need to see it immediately. You don't have to be so guarded. Can you come with me to the royal archives right now? Alo quickly questioned. Could it be you found a clue? She smiled smugly. Of course, you know me so well. However, my skills in ancient languages are limited. I can't
fully interpret its contents. So, it's best if you read and evaluate it yourself. He was overjoyed, feeling as if he had grasped his destiny. It seems I finally found a clue. Aselos eagerly complied. Then, let's go right away. They quickly activated a magic circle which emitted brilliant and blinding golden light that enveloped the luxurious library space. Princess Andrea handed him the book to begin his work. Could you check this book? She opened the book's pages. Princess Andrea exuded An aura of calm and knowledge. Her amber eyes focused on the page. We interpret this aura around
the heart as magical power. The heart on the left surrounded by an aura represents high magic compatibility and the withered heart on the right represents magic intolerance. Alo pointed curiously. So this phrase 500 years later, what does it mean? She spoke like a professor. According to another book I've read, priests often wrote down their impressions right after Receiving a prophecy next to a symbolic image. Those notes are valuable clues for interpreting the prophecy. Perhaps 500 years later means it can only be interpreted now. The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment as the truth was
revealed. He appeared unusually solemn. Following that logic, our current discovery of magic matches the prophecy of 500 years later. Princess Andrea pointed to the picture of the tree in the book. However, I don't understand The next part. Since magic originates from the heart, interpreting that aura as magic seems logical. But what do this dagger and sacrificial bowl mean? Literally, it means to carve out a heart for a ritual. But there must be some other hidden meaning. Perhaps if we ask the great sage for help, we might get a different interpretation. The atmosphere once again grew
heavy as Arcilo's question was uttered. So, you know, the great sage, he was extremely suspicious. I never mentioned him directly to her. She glanced away and explained awkwardly, "Uh, well, that's written in the royal archives, and Avro mentioned it, too." Aselos felt a pang of jealousy, "You two seem closer than I thought." Princess Andrea said proudly, "Avo and I are good friends." He was grateful for her cooperation this time. "Anyway, thank you. Next time, I'll teach you how to send messages properly." Her eyes sparkled with Flattery. He rarely agrees to teach things like that so
easily. He feigned coldness, but he was actually soft-hearted. Well, I am your teacher after all. Aselos was so annoyed that he even came up with a plan. I don't like the way the princess clings to Avo, and her sudden visit might make Avo misunderstand. I have to cut ties quickly. He quickly teleported back to his room. Aila's steps were heavy. I let must be at the peak of Yosha. He gently Raised his hand, exuding a regal, arrogant, and breathtakingly charming aura. The hidden space where I trained with eyelet. After the training ended, I never intended
to open it again. Yet now I have to open it once more. In the hazy space, the sound of footsteps on the classic pattern tiles echoed with determination. The footsteps grew closer to the door, heralding an arrival. The door was opened. It was Avo. She rushed over to speak with him. Asshel, I'm Sorry I'm late. Can we talk for a minute? H A blinding snowstorm enveloped the mountainside, covering the pine trees and desolate cliffs in a cold white blanket. Aselus panted in the cold. It's been a while since I've been to Yosha. This place is
still covered in eternal white snow. New snow on top of old. This makes the mountain more prone to avalanches. Rose, that's right. The only small creature that can survive here must be Islet. What exactly are you Doing here? The cliff face was riddled with cracks. I let crossed his arms and listened. H. Is it reasonable for someone who abandoned their teacher to come looking for me to talk? Aso knelt down with a stunned expression. Are you very disappointed? He dismissed it as a matter of course. Of course. I know you wouldn't seek me out without
a reason. Why are you here? He had to swallow his pride and ask for help, which made Isllet laugh contemptuously. Ah, it's About the ancient prophecy. How ironic. You kick me aside, then come running back when you need me. Acelo sighed wearily. I admit I was at fault back then. He turned away with a smug look. At least you know how to admit your mistakes. He offered the best terms. If you return to the estate, I guarantee I will treat you with the highest respect. Islet didn't care about that at all and delivered a cutting
remark. Is that little girl still doing well? Aselus Snapped. If it weren't for Avo, I wouldn't have come looking for you. He smirked. Of course, if you've seen the prophecy, you probably already know what your ancestor did. He bowed his head slightly. I understand clearly now. In the secret letter the princess gave him, the document stated that the Oel family were traitors. The first king exiled the traitorous Oel to the peak of Yosha. But as a consequence, the northern lands were cursed. Aselis bowed his head with A sorrowful expression. After that, only the descendants of
the Oel family could rule the northern lands, and the king had no choice but to grant them control. The king suspected Oel was behind the curse and remained wary of the Oel family until his last breath. However, I believe the opposite. If the first Oel had truly cursed the north, the family would not have continued to pass down the mission of breaking the curse. Clearly, someone else cast the curse. Islet carefully analyzed the document in the book. The prophecy appeared exactly when Austel was cursed. Aselus was eager to know, "Do you know what that means?"
But he avoided the question by complaining about the cold. Who knows? The peak of Yosha is too cold. My fur is severely damaged. and my thoughts aren't clear either. He with a worried and pleading expression begged earnestly, "Please, just a small hint." Let would point to the ancient script to explain The heart is the source of life. What that little girl needs is her people. Give her your heart filled with magic and the magic intolerance will melt away like snow. Axelos's body froze, his mind in turmoil. my heart for a he continued with amusement no
matter how precious she is to give your life as couldn't believe what he was hearing and asked again just to be sure really are you really saying my ordinary heart can save Avro thank goodness I let exuded an air Of weariness helplessness and was somewhat at a loss for words just to be sure since I'm questioning my sanity you do know that humans can't live without a heart right he declared firmly I know, but for her, I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have. If there's one thing more terrifying than death, it would be. He was
happy because he hadn't been back in a long time. It's been a while since I visited. This bed is still soft and comfortable. Aselos had to restrain Himself a lot to bring back to this place. He quickly left. Well, I'm off. He said goodbye coldly. Yeah, get out of my sight. Aselus gently closed the door. Islet slept soundly on the soft bed, creating a very peaceful and adorable scene. He heard a noise from the door and opened his eyes to see who was still there. Rio politely offered, "Excuse me, I've come to help you make
the bed." Ilet's eyes went on high alert. He yelled at her mercilessly. "Get out." I Said, "Get out. How dare a mere human enter here?" She apologized meekly. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Is continued to shout. I said, "Leave right now." He rose with glowing red eyes, surrounded by a swirling, sinister purple aura that floated in the air. That power even crept into every corner of the room. I let stood in resentment. After being cared for by Avro for so long, I let my guard down. Only then did I smell the stench of humans filling
the room. Avo, That child is special. She's not like other humans because her life force is depleted. She no longer has a scent. The magic circle activated, shooting up pillars of brilliant and powerful golden light as if to tear apart the surrounding space. Heavy footsteps echoed as Axelosa's tall black boots slowly approached. He smiled gently with a calm demeanor, telling himself, "I was originally going to stay with Avro, but it's fine." Knowing that Avro's Illness can be cured makes me feel relieved. But why does the estate suddenly feel so chaotic? Axelos's intuition grew stronger when
Senna shrieked, "My lord." He turned around in panic. "Sa, did something happened to Abro?" Her eyes were welling up with tears. "It's not good, my lord." The lady has fainted again. His gentle smile vanished, replaced by a look of utter shock and devastation. "What?" He ran without a second thought. Senna Recounted tragically, "I happened to see her bedroom door was open, and when I went to close it, the lady was inside." Ace Los was in a state of extreme panic, hastily reaching out his hand, shouting in desperation, as if to prevent the terrible thing happening
before his eyes. But it was too late. "Avo!" Rio was speechless. My lord, Avro was still deep in sleep. that made his legs tremble uncontrollably. She must have entered the room right after I left. Her Condition is so bad that even a tiny bit of leftover magic made her faint right when I thought I'd found a clue. She asked worriedly, "Roio, how is she? Is Miss Avro any better?" She replied sorrowfully. Fortunately, her breathing has stabilized, but she's still Aselos was incredibly grateful. Real Senna, thank you for taking care of her. The two of them
turned around in fear. My lord, he volunteered to stay and take care of her. I'll watch over her now. Go Get some rest. It's late. They didn't forget to instruct him before leaving. Yes, my lord. If anything happens, please call us immediately. In the cold winter, a brilliant sunset painted the sky in shades of gold. Avoy opened her eyes. Aslo Avro had just woken up in the royal bed and immediately called out Assel. She got out of bed in a confused state. I remember entering Asel's room at dawn and fainting. Have I been sleeping until
now? Aselos must have Brought me back to my room, but where is he now? Avo stepped outside, surprised to see Ascelos already waiting, and asked, "Asel, why are you standing here? Come on in." He forced a smile. I just wanted to get some air. I was sweating a lot. She smiled brightly, waving for Ascelos to come into the room. Come in, I'll have Jack prepare a bath for you. He leaned away to avoid her. It's fine. I should just meet you here. That made Avro think, "Huh? Why does it Feel like he's avoiding my touch?"
She tried to pull Ascelos in. We can meet inside, too. Besides, the sweat on you must be dry by now. He dodged further away. The inner layer of my clothes isn't dry yet. That's the problem. Avo contorted with her eyes squeezed shut, her mouth agape, and a drop of sweat running down her temple. He clearly just threw me. Aselis didn't forget to mention. Also, Avro, I've locked the connecting door between our rooms. On The outside, she smiled, but on the inside, she cried because of the unexpected dilemma. What? Didn't we agree to leave that door
open? Why did you lock it again? He explained awkwardly. It's for your own good, Avro. Avo snapped, thinking she'd been deceived. Doing something for my own good without a proper explanation is even stranger. Seriously, Aslo, this makes me sad. I thought we were finally getting closer. Was I wrong? Aselos Bowed his head sorrowfully. Senna told me she saw you faint after entering my room. I locked it because I was worried you might faint again. If I suddenly had to leave like today, I apologize for locking it without telling you first. She was curious. But where
did you go? He replied softly to the peak of Yosha. I went to see eyelet. Avo stiffened. Islet, why did you suddenly go to see eyelet? Weren't you still upset about what happened before when he dropped me From the balcony? Axelos's gentle confession revealed the reason for his unexpected actions. Yes, but I thought you seemed sad, so I brought him back for you. I let him stay in the former head's room. She couldn't believe that strange action was for her. He really went out at dawn just to get someone he dislikes back here for me.
It makes no sense at all. His eyes filled with remorse as he gently touched Avro's face. More importantly, I'm sorry for Making you faint because of me. I promise to be more careful. I'll make sure this doesn't happen again. I'm sorry, Avro. The magnificent castle. Princess Andrea stepped out gracefully. She smiled smugly. I've gotten quite good at sneaking out, haven't I? I gave my personal maid a thousand gold coins. Money doesn't matter. Today, I'll finally Princess Andrea fondly recalled her adorable appearance. Your highness, let's go shopping. That's why she was Even more determined. I'll buy
lots of gifts for that spring breeze. Wait for me, my dear Avo. Honestly, I could easily summon the merchants directly, but sending gifts openly to the hostel house would provoke the king. He should just focus on running the country. Princess Andrea felt disgusted imagining the emperor's tantrum. Imagine scenario. How could a princess be so shameless as to send such extravagant gifts to the head of the noble faction? Do you have No royal dignity? She thought with disgust. No need to be afraid. I avoid him because he's disgusting. H through the magic spreading around the palace,
I heard a sound. The crown prince seems to be discussing taxes for the West. He's even whining to his servants to handle it for him, excluding me from the line of succession just because I'm a princess and then making a complete idiot the crown prince. His judgment is terrible. Let's ignore this and go to Town. Princess Andrea ordered the carriage to stop here, let me down here. She stepped down gracefully. It took longer than I thought. I'll have to give the gifts to Avo another day. Today, among all the shops, the merchant guild was the
most prominent. That shop has firmly established itself among the famous merchants. Because it was so unique, I bought more than I planned. The marquees reaction was different from the original story, but there haven't Been any serious problems. Thanks to Avro, magic is developing, and being a CEO's student helps me strengthen my position. But for Avo, living with magic intolerance must be extremely painful. Even though I found a few clues about magic intolerance by rumaging through the royal library, even with Ailas's help, deciphering them is still very difficult. We have to find a solution before her
physical strength completely collapses. I'm worried if her frail body Can hold on. I should go back to my room and review the records again. A look of shock appeared on her beautiful face as Princess Andrea was suddenly surrounded by the sound of a nearby discussion. The voice of Crown Prince Hyen rang out, causing her to freeze in place. We want to restructure the Liola market. This is the wish of his majesty, the emperor of Empila. Princess Andrea turned in shock. Why are people from Empila in the royal palace? He continued to present. Empila Will revive
the Leiola market, build factories, develop technology, and increase employment. She noticed the discussion before her. This magical vibration, it's coming from the reception hall. Crown Prince Hyen Mang was triumphant. They're openly declaring they will dominate the Liola market. Princess Andrea's mind was racing. The king is refusing, but they are overly confident. How dare mere merchant representative speak to a king like That? I should send more magic to the reception hall to hear more clearly. His threatening voice echoed throughout the estate. This is the emperor's mercy towards the pitiful lady. We offer everything from factory ownership
to taxation. The glamorous beauty of power enveloped the space. A calculating and smug smirk appeared on Crown Prince Hyen Mungs face as he faced such a generous offer. Your Majesty, is there anything unsatisfactory about this? The Emperor's face was pale as he gritted his teeth and thought, "I didn't recognize him before because of his disguise, but this person is Crown Prince Hienm." Then he silently glanced to the side. When I think about having to wear a mask to hide, I can't help but smirk. My apologies for the intrusion. I didn't think I could get in
without pretending to be a merchant guard. I've come for an unofficial visit. You see, I'm sure you'll understand. Princess Andrea in another location seemed to sense something and was momentarily surprised, wondering, "Crown Prince Hanm, what's happening in the reception hall?" At the same time, the emperor finally gave in, covering his face and requesting, "Give me time to consider." Crown Prince Hien Mungs faint laugh rang out, "I'll await a positive response." Princess Andrea seemed to vaguely see the scene and furrowed her brow. They're exchanging official Documents, but it's too far to see clearly. I should at
least cast a tracking spell to make up for it. In the original story, Crown Prince Hien Mung brought the Continental Alliance to conquer Liola, but that was after hundreds of mages had appeared. The timeline has been sped up a lot. Just then, he and M suddenly saw specks of light flashing in the air and wondered those invisible white lights. His eyes narrowed dangerously. At the same time, Andrea seemed to sense something, and her eyes suddenly widened. A guess suddenly crept into her mind. Could it be Crown Prince Hienm knows magic? He's looking right in this
direction. I should probably retract my magic for now. Currently, Aselos and I are the only ones who can use magic in Leiola. If he and Mung knows magic, he must have already met Aselos. Aselos probably didn't treat Crown Prince Hyen Mung with respect, which means Hi M intends to Eliminate him and Aselosa's only weakness is Avro. Avo could become Crown Prince Hyman's target. I have to warn them quickly. However, just as she was about to turn away, a pair of hands suddenly appeared from behind, trying to grab her. Found you. White magic. Andrea reacted instantly,
spinning around and forcefully knocking Hien Mung's hands away. How insolent to dare touch a princess. Seeing this, he smirked disdainfully, "Huh? And is it a Princess's hobby to eavesdrop like a rat?" Andrea didn't answer him, her mind racing with caution. I intended to pretend I knew nothing, but it seems he's found me out. What should I do? However, he and M didn't give her a chance to think and leaned in close. his voice filled with excitement. Interesting. Very interesting. I thought the only mage in this tiny kingdom was Lord Oel. Andrea, having regained her composure,
smirked mockingly. What a Baseless boast. You seem to be just as foolish yourself. It seems you've never seen real magic. Allow me to demonstrate what it looks like. The moment she finished speaking, something invisible shot past HiMs face before he could react. By the time he ducked and looked back, a window pane behind him had shattered. Although surprised, he and Mung quickly stood up straight and defiantly questioned Andrea. Are you aware of who I am to speak to me like That? She calmly shrugged, unafraid. Oh my, and you still laid a hand on me even
though you knew who I was, right? Try touching me again, and I'll show you magic that's much worse. Hearing this, Hian Mung narrowed his cold eyes and smiled with interest. I thought she was just a foolish princess involved in the king's ridiculous scandal. In terms of magic, she seems quite useful. If I handle this smoothly, she could be valuable. Because he had already made a Decision, he and M's tone unconsciously softened. Please forgive my previous rudeness. Then I'll take my leave, your highness. I'll be busy from now on, but soon let's meet again properly. Andrea
finally relaxed a little, looking after him with great curiosity. Busy? What is he planning to do? I must inform Lord Oel immediately. Midway through her sentence, she suddenly realized something and her eyes widened. Wait. In another development, Oion has created a Target with China. Silos was sitting alone, deep in thought. His hand gently rested on his chest as he thought to himself. Alice said, "My heart can cure Avo. My purpose in life is to be by her side forever. But if it's to save her, I'm willing to sacrifice this life." This is the princess's messenger
charm. At this hour, as soon as Areller touched the charm on the table, blue letters immediately appeared in midair. Urgent: dangerous carriage, reddish brown hair, Merchant guard, target. He seemed to realize something, and his face immediately turned pale as he softly uttered a name, Avro. The specks of light quickly spread through every nook and cranny. I have to find her. Calm down. Listen carefully for any sign of Avro, even the smallest sound. Please. Just then, Arcellar heard a very faint sneeze from Avro. He opened his eyes wide and quickly pinpointed the location. The indoor garden
on the first Floor. An image of a fountain in the small garden immediately appeared in his mind. Then Arcelus gently waved his hand, skillfully controlling the specks of light. I'll carefully send the magic message to the princess, making sure none of it touches Avo. She must come to the estate immediately. Wait, they've already. Axelos jumped his feet and shouted, "Avo." As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, behind it was the indoor garden on the first floor. Aselus Burst out from the smoke and called out urgently, "Avo, can you hear me?" Suddenly, an arrow shot out from
nowhere, but was easily caught by him. The intruders have already entered the estate. At the same time, a scream echoed from within the smoke run. The sound made him freeze for a moment. The servants's panic screams, the intruder hiding in the smoke, threatening me from the shadows. They're deliberately causing chaos to capture Avo. As this Thought flashed through his mind, Ailosa's pupils constricted and a thick killing intent radiated from him. How dare you? Before he could finish his angry growl, a man rushed out of the smoke to attack. The man's blade slashed towards Arcelus's neck
at lightning speed. However, he just calmly waved his hand, and not just one, but a whole group of assassins hiding in the smoke were sent flying. Asos thought to himself to plot such a dirty scheme Against Avro. He clenched his fist and snapped the arrow, his face contorted with anger as he growled, "You think your numbers can save you?" Just then, Andrea rushed over from behind. Lord Oel. Seeing her arrive, he regained his composure. You're here, princess. Andrea suddenly looked up and declared, "Leave it to me." This surprised Aselos so much that he whipped his
head around. What do you mean? She seemed to understand and cut Aselos off, explaining, "With the Magic you've taught me, I can handle something like this." Avo safety is the most important thing right now. So, hurry to her. Hearing that, Ace Los let out a small laugh and exclaimed, "Even a mediocre student has her moments to shine." Andrea, being teased, retorted irritably, "I'm not mediocre. You know that, right?" Despite saying that, Aselos still trusted her completely and left the area in her hands. "Then I'll leave it to you, princess." Seeing that He had left, Andrea
raised her hand as if to warm up. "Well, all right, then." Facing her were several assassins who were looking down on her and smirking. Andrea smiled excitedly and began to manipulate the white specks of light. Let's review the magic lessons I've learned. Meanwhile, the noise from outside reached Avro's ears. She looked over nervously and asked, "Sa, what's that sound?" Senna also looked in that direction and replied, "I'm not Sure, my lady. I'll go check right away." Avo looked down at the paper on the table and felt annoyed. I specifically requested silence while I was organizing
documents for the masquerade party. Did something happen? Despite that, she still smiled gently and said, "It's all right, Senna. I'll go see for myself." Hearing that, Senna was a bit flustered and advised. But my lady, that's my duty. Avo paid no mind and stood up, walking straight towards The source of the sound. No, it won't take long. But then she suddenly turned her head and wondered, "Huh? Did I just hear something? Why is that person hiding their presence instead of showing themselves?" Asel wouldn't play games like this. Zena didn't notice. Thinking this, Avro suddenly called
out, "Seriously, Senna." She replied in confusion, "Yes, my lady." Avo hide her anxiety as she glanced around and ordered, "Bring me a bottle of wine and A pot of tea immediately, please." Senna was also stunned by her expression. Then Senna seemed to understand and obeyed. "I understand. I'll be back shortly." Avo gently instructed. "Good, be careful." After Senna left, Avro broke out in a cold sweat and nervously told herself, "That's the code, Senna, and I prepared just in case. I'm glad we planned ahead. Waiting alone for Senna to return is very worrying, but I'll be
fine. I still have the bracelet Assel Gave me. This bracelet even stopped Alice from getting close, so I trust it. Just a little longer. Assel will notice and come to me. While Avro was deep in thought, a few figures suddenly appeared behind her. Avo surprised and gritted her teeth, thinking, "Just as I suspected, intruders have entered." A man with a scarf wrapped around his head smirked and said, "Hey, are you really okay being all alone?" The man next to him pointed a knife at her and Threatened, "Don't waste your energy. Just come quietly. We don't
want to hurt you." Avoided with them, her mind constantly analyzing the situation. They must have broken the garden's barrier when they entered. Because of my condition, Assel created a thin barrier without using powerful magic. But no matter how weak it is, Assel would surely notice if the barrier was broken. I just need to calmly wait for him. Senna will be back soon, too. I'm so scared. What if something happens and I die? Just as Aro's mind was about to be consumed by fear, Senna returned, shouting loudly. Get your hands off the lady right now. The
man with the knife quickly pulled his hand back and turned in surprise. What now? Avo quickly regained her composure and ordered loudly. Quick, Senna. Senna obeyed and threw the wine bottle in her hand. Yes, my lady. Avo standing next to the man with the knife, tensed up as she Watched the wine bottle fly towards her. As long as I have that, I can hold out until Assel arrives. The man didn't stand still either. He raised his hand and shoved her shoulder hard, shouting, "Don't let her. You think you can get your hands on that?" Avo
pushed hard and missed her chance to catch the wine bottle. And so it fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. The wine inside the bottle immediately spilled out. Everyone stared in shock at the puddle Of red wine spreading on the ground. The two assassins saw this and smirked triumphantly. What's this? Just ordinary wine? We're not sure what you were trying to do, but it's spilled now. Too bad. However, Avro's lips suddenly curled into a faint smile. Her eyes flashed with determination. No. Next, she immediately covered her mouth and nose with a cloth. Senna, beside her,
also covered her nose with a handkerchief. A white smoke suddenly Shot up. The man with the knife, who was still clueless, gritted his teeth and questioned, "Huh? What are you smirking at?" Before he could finish, his words were replaced by the screams of both of them. "What is this hot smoke? What is that smell?" Avo looked at the broken wine bottle that was emitting smoke and thought to herself, "This wine is a simple concoction that can change its composition based on impact. Even just smelling it causes severe dizziness. It Causes facial swelling like an allergic
reaction, but it's not life-threatening. His face is swollen now. He'll pass out soon. Senna from behind quickly moved forward to check on Avro's condition. My lady, are you all right? Were you scared? Avo smiled reassuringly. I'm fine because you came quickly, Senna. Asel will probably be here soon, too. Before she could finish her sentence, a noise from the nearby bushes caught her attention. Avoa Immediately tensed up and looked towards that direction. Wait, there's still another intruder. The bush rustled more and more violently, and a dark figure leaped out from within, startling Avro. Unexpectedly, it was
Axelos, frantically calling out Avro. Seeing who it was, Avro took off her handkerchief and called back Asel. Aselus, as if he had just found a lost treasure, rushed to embrace her. Avo, are you okay? Avoled and exclaimed, "Asel, you're finally Here." Only then did Avo relax her mind, and the fear immediately washed over her. I knew Asel would come for me, but I was still so scared. Maybe the relief of seeing him made me relax. Now I can't hold on anymore. The hand she was holding Ailos's with suddenly went limp which confused him. Avo. And
then Avo closed her eyes and leaned back. I've reached my limit. Immediately after the worried and panicked shouts of Aselos and Senna rang out at the same time. Avo. A long time later in a quiet pink room. Avo frail on the bed. Ascelus looked at her with a heartbroken expression. Avo has gotten much weaker. She didn't used to faint so easily over something like this. She even insisted on helping with the estate's restoration. Thinking of this, his gaze lowered slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Is Empila behind this?" Andrea, beside him, replied, "Possibly."
Before coming here, I saw the king speaking privately with the crown prince of Empila. That man known as the merchant guard is the crown prince of Empila. Alo immediately remembered Avro's warning. Crown Prince Hyman is probably behind this. He couldn't help but frown and think, just as Avro suspected. Then Aralos asked again, "What do you think Empila is aiming for?" Andrea's somewhat somber voice replied, "Probably war." Asos Looked at Avro on the bed again and muttered softly. Avo said the same thing. Just then, Senna's voice announced, "My lord, the royal guards have arrived." Hearing that,
Aselos turned to leave. I'll be right there. Your highness, please stay here. It wouldn't be good for the kingdom to know of your presence. Andrea replied with some gratitude. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. With that, the room fell silent once more. He gently stroked Avro's hair. Avo, I'm truly sorry. Meanwhile, Arcelus had quickly stepped outside. The two guards who were waiting saw him and took turns speaking. My lord, we've captured all the intruders, but why does it smell like wine here? Axelos replied sternly. It's nothing important. Despite saying that, he felt a little embarrassed thinking
about Avro and Senna's trick earlier. I never thought wine could be used that way. Wine made from garden flowers, when Combined with unfiltered wine, the leaves create a thick smoke with a sedative effect. I'm surprised Avo thought of using it when I wasn't around just in case. I should also give Avo more ways to defend herself. Not long after, Avo woke up in bed. She was a bit speechless with herself as she slowly sat up. I fainted again. From the looks of it, I must have slept the whole day. Luckily, Asel came quickly that night.
I thought he would come soon, but he came Even faster than I thought. I should thank Asos properly. Huh? Aselos had peaked his head in from somewhere and was looking at her shily. Avo, you're awake. As soon as Avro saw him, she beamed and called out, "Asel." Before she could say anything, she found herself in Arcelus's warm embrace. As soon as she regained her senses, Avro laughed reassuringly. "Asel, I'm fine now. You look like you haven't slept at all." Hearing that, Ailos's face flushed With worry as he looked at her and replied, "Are you really
okay? You were out all day. I was so worried." Avo continued to smile brightly and said, "I guess I was just tired. Usually, this wouldn't make me faint." He seemed slightly relieved at that, then that's good. And I'm sorry for suddenly hugging you earlier. Avo puzzled when Aselis quickly stepped back and asked, "Why do you have to apologize for that?" Her words surprised him a little. Huh? Avo Then stammered, "I I mean, if you want to hug me, just hug me. If you want to touch me, that's fine, too. What I mean is, I don't
hate it when you touch me." Ace Los was immediately struck by this cuteness, and his face turned bright red. After saying this, Avro was too embarrassed to look him in the eye again. Avo looked down, her eyes glistening as if she were about to cry from embarrassment. Aselos was still staring at her in shock, unable to React. This pink atmosphere made Avro fall into thought. I used to be sure that these feelings belong to Avro. My heart races every time I see Asel, making me feel so warm and expectant. But as Avo's obsessive symptoms faded
due to her weakening body, that fluttering feeling never changed. It was always my own feeling, completely mine. Because she had identified her own feelings, she boldly took a step forward. Aselos, if I die, don't be too Sad. Hearing these words, Aceos was startled and asked, why are you suddenly saying that, Avo? I've already told you, I don't know what I would do without you. So, how could you say something like that? Yet, Avro was still very anxious. But I before she could say anything more, Aselos quickly cut her off. No, I don't want to hear
it. Seeing him avoid the topic, Avro could only close her eyes in resignation. She knew very well in her heart. He's clearly so Upset, which only makes it harder to leave him. But if I stay with him, thinking this, Avro gently rubbed her hands together and cautiously spoke up. Asshel before we leave Liola I want to visit the holy temple. Aelos was still sulking and looking away as he replied only if you promise to never talk as if you're about to die again. Avo smiled gently and reassured him. I won't. I promise. Only then did
Arcelus let out a sigh and ask, "All right, Avro, besides Visiting the holy temple, is there anything else you want to do?" She slightly avoided his gaze and replied, "There's a lot actually." Avoided silently in her heart. "Although my physical condition doesn't allow for much, thinking back, since coming here, I've hardly ever been apart from Aselus. Unlike before, when I was always alone, I am now always surrounded by Aselos and everyone in this estate. Will everyone be sad if I die?" After fainting, I Vaguely remember hearing the princess's voice. Just thinking about her coming to
see Los makes me feel jealous, but it's probably because something happened. Goodness, I used to hope for Aselos and the princess to be together, but now I'm jealous. I really am. While she was lost in thought, Aselos gently asked, "Are you hungry? I'll bring you some food." Suddenly, Avro reached out and gently hooked his pinky finger. Alo immediately clasped her hand and asked Tenderly, "What is it, Avro?" Avo gently parted her lips, "Could you not? Do you love me?" The moment those words were out, Ace Los froze for a good 5 seconds. Avo tightened as
she watched his reaction. I was hoping you didn't love me. Their hands were still tightly clasped, but then Arcelus suddenly loosened his grip. He guiltily avoided her gaze, not daring to look directly at Avro. Then her slightly relieved voice rang out. That's a relief. Ace Los Jumped, wanting to explain. Avoy. Avo cut him off flatly. I was worried you would love me. I just am. At this point, her heart was also in a tangled mess. So why is Asel so good to me? Guilt, responsibility, or maybe there's something else. However, what I've realized is Avro
took a step forward and softly called Assel. Her heart stirred like a drop of water on a still lake. Even if it's not called love, one can still deeply desire someone. Avo smiled Brightly, her eyes crinkling and sparkling as she looked at Aselus and suggested, "Kiss me." Hearing that, he froze in disbelief. Asil's cheeks immediately flushed red. He hesitated and asked, "Are you are you serious?" Avo smiled at him, her eyes filled with determination. "Maybe my personality is worse than I thought, because this feeling affects someone so extraordinary, even if it's just a little." She
reached out and gently Touched Asel's face, and then they lovingly kissed each other on the lips. The passionate kiss made Avro's heart feel like it was blooming. It was such a happy feeling. A moment later, they both blushed shily and slowly pulled apart. In another corner, Senna sat on the floor and let out a soft sigh. Oh, if we get caught, we're done for. Beside her was Andrea, blushing and giggling. Goodness, it's not like we're committing a crime or anything. Senna, On the other hand, was in a complete panic and kept hitting Andrea on the
back. This is improper. If the Lord finds out, we're in trouble. But Andrea was like a cat that had just stolen cream, teasingly laughing. As long as we don't get caught, it's fine. If you keep screaming like that, we'll be exposed, Senna. With that, she and Senna once again peeked out to look with his sharp hearing. He probably already knows. Oh no, we're really caught. The Lord is Looking this way. Senna was immediately scared pale by her words. Run. Night gradually fell. A maid saw Avro and smiled, "Welcome back, my lady. You were out for
a long walk." "You?" She was still blushing as she waved her hand and replied awkwardly. "Uh um yeah, the weather was so nice, so I took a longer walk. I'm going inside now." The maid watched Avro run off in a panic, her head full of questions. "Yes, ah, yes, but since you've just recovered, please Don't overdo it." Avo quickly returned to her room. Only then was she overwhelmed with embarrassment. What did I do? What did I just do? How am I going to face him tomorrow? Stop thinking about it. Just stop. Honestly, I'm surely not
the only one who keeps replaying that moment. Right. Meanwhile, in another room, someone was pacing back and then pacing forth. Aselus, no different from Avro, was holding his head and running in circles, screaming Silently. He even wanted to shout it for the whole palace to hear in the middle of the night. The next day, Arcelus was still in a daysaze, sitting alone and muttering, "It's almost time to leave." He looked at the empty room and thought to himself, "I have an appointment with the priest to review the Holy Temple's records." But why did Avo suddenly
want to visit the Holy Temple? Doesn't her body resist divine power? The last time we visited the temple together, she even Fainted from a high fever. In short, the holy temple isn't as important today. Its power has weakened over time, and now the priests mostly perform commemorative rituals. Even though the divine power can't be suddenly restored, even a little bit of it greatly affects Avo. Why would Avo, who is so frail, want to go to that temple? I'm crazy. How could I doubt her before she explained anything? Even if I doubt her, Avo always ends
up being right. I must Not doubt her, not even in my thoughts until she tells me herself. But it's painful to stay silent about matters concerning Avo's health. It's truly sad. A while later, someone was walking down the road. In front of them was the Holy Temple. Ace Los approached and said coldly, "I've come to see the Holy Temple's records." The priest bowed respectfully, "Please come in. Shall I show you the records related to the Oel family?" Hearing that, he replied Politely, "Yes, thank you." Nobles register their births at the holy temple. Avo, "It only
shows how much the Ro family donated, and that Avro has been visiting the temple since she was 5. Did she simply forget that she fainted at the Holy Temple? She was still young after all. Maybe she was just following her family support for the temple. I can't believe I doubted her over this. I should suggest another destination when I get back. If I show her these records, Avro will probably understand. Axelos thought as he walked away from the holy temple. Then his voice suddenly dropped dangerously. Before that, inside the dark prison, the two men who
had tried to assassinate Avro heard a noise and turned. Is it time for the guard change? Wait, isn't that Lord Oel? How did he get into the prison guards? There's an intruder. After dealing with those two, only then did Arcelus feel some relief. I should punish those who frightened Avro. Back in the study, Ryu suddenly spoke up. My lord, it's time for dinner. Acelo replied in a low voice. I'll be right there. Rio didn't mind and changed the subject. Also, reply has arrived from Duke Ro. Hearing that, he picked up the letter and examined it
seriously. Alo looked at the densely packed lines of text and thought to himself. I invited Duke Rosh to the party to ask more about Avro. She said she couldn't Attend due to travel and also asked if she and Avro could visit the Holy Temple. His eyes darkened with annoyance as he reread a line from the letter. You seem to have forgotten how much I loathe the Holy Temple. What? Avo, what are you planning to do? Meanwhile, a pair of feet in pretty shoes stepped along the corridor. Avo frustrated with herself. I was too focused on
organizing my diary. Now I'm late for dinner. Rereading old diary Entries from when I first arrived made me lose track of time. Thinking this, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at a piece of paper. Not long after, Avro smiled brightly and followed by Senna, pushed open the door to a room. Asel, sorry I'm late. I just took a bath. Asos's voice came from inside. It's all right, Avro. Come sit here. However, as soon as Avro saw his preoccupied expression, she realized, "He's unusually quiet today." She Quickly sat down and tilted her head to
ask, "Asshole, did something happen? You were out early again today. Is it because of the crown prince? If you're worried, I can cancel the party. Ace Lo mumbled flatly. It's nothing, Avro. I'm just a little tired. Aro's gaze flickered, and she thought anxiously. He doesn't look well at all. While I was tossing and turning, remembering our kiss, was Assel not affected at all. Avo clenched slightly. She hesitated and Asked, "Can I ask what's wrong?" Aselos didn't hide it and told her, "I went to visit the holy temple." Abra was a bit surprised and looked at
the paper he handed her, asking, "Is this to confirm the appointment?" Asos didn't answer and just reminded her, "Read the bottom part, Avo." Avo still didn't understand what was going on and took the paper. Isn't this an appointment schedule? Let's see. Avoari, subject is forbidden from participating in rituals. Developed A high fever when visiting the holy temple. After reading this, Avro put the paper down on the table and let out a forced laugh. I completely forgot. She felt a bit guilty. Oh no, this wasn't mentioned in the original story. The holy temple later provided important
support for the princess's power. I had no idea Avro was incompatible with divine power. Now what? There's nowhere else to gather information about childbirth to learn about my original World. The holy temple is very important. At this rate, leaving the country might be my only option. I don't want us to part like this. While she was lost in thought, Alo suddenly called out, "Avo, we can find a better place. Can I invite the priest here?" Avo asked with some concern, "Huh? Can you do that?" Alo laughed and confirmed, "Of course, Avro, there's nothing in this
world I can't do for you." Hearing that, she replied shily. "All right, then. Thank you, Assel." Seeing her reaction, Aselos was silently puzzled. Strange. before she would ask a lot of questions. Why is she suddenly so quiet this time? Avo wandered aimlessly around the palace grounds. If I wait in the garden, the priest should arrive soon. I said I wanted to meet them, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly. Perhaps I've underestimated the kingdom's hero. She turned around when she heard Ailos's voice. Avo, you're already out here. These priests have kindly accepted your
request. Avo replied happily. Really? I really don't know how to thank you. Huh? Grace. Grace shily greeted her. Avo, it's been a while. I heard you fainted recently. I'm sorry I couldn't visit sooner. Work has been so busy. She ran over to ask with concern. I'm fine. It's nothing serious. But why you? He explained awkwardly. Uh, because you requested a priest. I came as a representative priest. I have that Authority. Avo, huh? So, Grace is the high priest. Grace shily clasped his hands together. You seem surprised. Officially, it's still a secret. By the way, your
husband is over there. He doesn't look very comfortable with me around, she said apologetically. I'm sorry. He's just worried I'll faint again. He laughed awkwardly. Ah, I see. Then, let's discuss things here. Avo happily agreed. Okay, thank you for being so thoughtful. Grace got straight To the point. First, Avro, please explain why you called us. She sat down and slowly recounted, "Actually, I have prophetic dreams lately. They've all come true." "And prophetic dreams are related to the divine, right?" He was stunned. "Prophetic dreams? Can you tell me specifically what you dreamed about?" Avo calmly replied.
For example, I knew beforehand that Aceos would become a mage. I even found him a mentor. Grace tapped the table. Curious. Anything Else? She calmly recalled and recounted. Well, I dreamed of the day Princess Andrea visited the Holy Temple. A part of the Aurora appeared in the sky. Flowers bloomed all over Liola. Even in the coming winter, flowers still bloomed. Ava silently guessed. I'm sure that's what was described in the book. She continued to recount. And on that day, I saw a prophecy from the goddess. I believe that was the ancient goddess. He was startled.
All of that appeared in Your dream. Ah, Avro knew that. Of course, they would be astonished because the goddess was only known through ancient legends. I only knew about the goddess and the three sages from reading the original story. But Grace and the priests won't doubt me after hearing this. How could they doubt what I said I saw in a dream? On the surface, she still cheerfully recounted. Therefore, Grace interrupted. Wait, Avro, I'm sorry, but can we talk in private? The Smile on Avro's lips vanished. Huh? His expression also changed when he heard his request.
She turned to look at Aselos and said, "Aselos, can I talk to Grace alone?" "Just for a moment. It might be related to the Holy Temple's secrets. He was tense and restless. The two of them watched Ailas's back as they heard him say, "All right, Avro." Avo turned back and smiled at Grace. "So, Grace, what did you want to talk about?" He changed his attitude immediately. "Thank you for cooperating, Avro." "But you're lying about the prophetic dreams, aren't you?" She froze with a forced smile, huh? Grace got straight to the point. "I'm sorry for saying
this, but you have no divine power. Only those chosen by the gods can have prophetic dreams. Avo maintained a calm smile. Is that so? Then what did I see? But inside, she was panicking. What's with this sudden change in attitude? He said bluntly. However, Avro, what I see is Avo was too scared to look into Grace's eyes. Grace's eyes have turned purple. Is that divine power? What should I say? How should I respond? He continued to speak. Don't worry, Avro. Your secret is safe with me. She managed a calm smile. Secret? What secret? Grace leaned
in close to Avro. No need to lie to me. I'll help you, but there's one thing I can't help you with. It's beyond my authority. Her eyes widened in confusion. What do you mean? His face Flushed red. Avo tensed up as she heard Grace's next words. Avo, if you stay with Arcelus, you will die. She panicked inside. How does he How could he possibly know? She grew tense at his confession. Avo, you've loved Aselos since you were a child until you first met him. I couldn't interfere. Grace released Avro's hand. That voice continued to ring
out. So that's why I'm telling you this. After you die, he will die, too. Her eyes widened in shock at These words, and Arcelus's angry voice suddenly cut in. Grace, that's enough. Axela's heavy footsteps approached Avro and Grace. His face was filled with a jealous rage. Axelus gritted his teeth and growled. I think your conversation has gone on long enough. You're just talking nonsense. Leave my estate at once. She trembled in confusion. Wait, Asselus. Grace, is that true? If so, you could die after I die. He said angrily, "No, Avro, he's just trying to Manipulate
us. Neither you nor I will die." Avoid worry. Could that be true? There's no way there's a future where Aselos dies. But why do I feel so uneasy? It's as if Avo survived when she was supposed to die. Aselos was tense and worried. Avo. She was lost in a days of anxiety. Maybe Aselos, who was supposed to live, ended up dying. The scene changes to a magnificent, splendid castle. He and M gritted his teeth and demanded the Attempt to capture the marquees wife, Oel, failed. The subordinate replied respectfully, "Yes, your highness. It's worse than that.
All of our mercenaries in the prison were brutally murdered." He scelled in annoyance. This is more troublesome than I thought. We need to speed up the plan. He asked for his opinion anxiously. Where should we go now? Hi M decided to go see the king. The emperor was surprised by his appearance here. We don't have a Scheduled meeting right now. Hi M laughed and greeted him. Forgive my sudden intrusion. Your majesty seems to have some free time. He demanded what nonsense is this. He bowed and spoke words that hit the emperor's sore spot. No need
to play dumb. A throne in contention like this isn't a common sight, is it? I know you're worried about Lord Oel, and you plan to use the princess to trap him. But here's the surprise. The princess has already Joined forces with Lord Oel. She bought 1,000 gold coins worth of luxury goods from my guild and sent them to the Oel estate. She also happened to disappear right at the time of the attack on Oel. That could only happen if they were colluding. If you need proof, just question her maid. Even I was surprised to hear
it, which makes me feel sorry for you." He stared wideeyed and trembled. "Impossible, the princess." He Mung handed the emperor a vial of poison And said, "Here, take it." The antidote is only made from the leaves of the katcha tree found in the empire's desert, and anyone who drinks this poison won't survive for an hour. We were shocked and wondered, "What do you mean?" He leaned in close to the emperor and said, "You can't just stand there and take a beating. At the upcoming masquerade party, give this drink to Lord Oel. It's colorless and odorless,
easy to use." His eyes widened and he Broke out in a cold sweat. The emperor tremblingly accepted the vial of poison. Hi Mung smirked with satisfaction. Well then, I'll be waiting for news. Then he closed the door and left the room. As soon as Hien Mung stepped out, he gave an order. Very good. Investigate Andrea thoroughly and find all the hidden mages in Liola. His subordinate bowed and obeyed. As you command, he speculated to himself. There can't be only two mages. I'm sure others are hiding somewhere. At This moment, Avro was leisurely strolling through the
palace grounds. She stopped when she heard Asus's voice. Avo, why didn't you tell me about the prophetic dreams? Avo laughed gently and said, "I'm sorry. It just happened recently, and I haven't had time to tell you." His voice suddenly became deep and shy. Lately, we've always been together. She replied with a gentle voice, "If I intended to hide it, I wouldn't have discussed it openly in front of you like This. Do you really think I'm intentionally hiding something from you?" Axelosa's hands clenched unconsciously. Avo stunned and panicked when he didn't reply. Huh? Why isn't he
answering? I thought we had gotten closer after that night. Was I wrong? There's no way I would intentionally hide anything from you. Acelo lifted her hand and expressed, "That's not it. Just get some rest, Avo." Avoided. Aselos. Her own heart was also racing. It was clearly a gentle kiss, so why am I so anxious? Please, I want him by my side. When Avro wanted to respond, he pulled his hand back. His expression was not pleasant at all. She stared blankly at Aselosa's departing back and his parting words. I'll be back soon, Avro. Today was also
a peaceful day without a single breeze. Alo walked alone in the courtyard. He muttered sadly. I acted so foolishly. Aselos was frustrated with his thoughts. When Grace knew something About Avro that I didn't, it made her feel like a stranger to me. Why didn't she tell me first? Unlike the Avro from my childhood, the current Avro is a complete mystery. What she likes, what she dislikes, and most importantly, how she really feels about me. I thought we had gotten closer, but now it seems we've taken another step apart. Still, when I get back, "You look
so sad, Afro." He turned back in a panic. I have to go back. I was too hasty. The place Where Avro was waiting had a very cozy atmosphere. Axelos opened the door and stepped inside. Avoi. He froze when he saw the scene inside. When did she slump over the table? Aslo was confused and bewildered. Avo why are you crying? Is it because of me? He slowly walked towards Avro's place.
