12 Peeking her head out from under the blanket, Aris stared blankly at her desk. The room was dark, making it difficult to see the objects on the desk. But she knew there would be letters there, along with paper and pen she had prepared to write new ones. Like she was avoiding them, Aris curled up further under the blanket. The once comfortable bed had long since become uncomfortable from maintaining the same position. She hadn't gone to work for several days. She couldn't even tell how many…-

This one too, that one too, she pulled out and checked everything her hands touched, but they were all letters she had written. Letters she had sent to Mr. E. Unable to believe it, Aris felt the soft texture of the papers with her hands. Her whole body was trembling. Her heart was beating dangerously fast, like it was about to burst. Seemingly forcing her to face the truth, he continued speaking. "His Majesty truly desires nothing but your happiness. Not once has he tried to destroy your…

"Please enter." Mishuan opened the door to the office they had reached. Aris entered with a solemn face. Here she would proudly accept her punishment and show an unwavering appearance to him who now put on airs. However, contrary to expectations, Kalaian wasn't in the office. She heard Mishuan entering behind her and closing the door. Aris turned to him… "His Majesty isn't here. Will he come later?" "Well, he left briefly to inspect the western front, so even I don't know when he'll…

Though his eyes showed some hesitation as he looked at her again, they were honest as if supporting the truth. "You're lying... You must be lying?" Aris asked in a trembling voice. For a moment, she felt as if her world had been denied. "You knew me? You knew and still treated me so casually? You knew and still... tried to put me in that terrible position again?" "...Miss Aristena, that story you heard was truly a misunderstanding." "After already saying such things behind my back, now that…

Seeing its thickness, Kalaian's eyes momentarily showed bewilderment. Aris stepped back and added. "Please review it at your leisure, and let me know if anything needs to be corrected!" "...Yes, I will." "And I have an earnest request, Your Majesty." "What is it?" Kalaian asked gently, as if telling her to say anything. His eyes were as soft as gently flowing water. Seeing his generous response, Aris relaxed somewhat. Then she stated her main point without hesitation. "I seek…

The war ended after a month. The area that had been struggling the most was suppressed within two weeks, and battles were concluded one by one as reinforcements were sent to various locations. 'Fortunately, there wasn't much damage. It was probably the same in my past life.' It had been a needless worry. Well, it wouldn't make sense for defeat to come when such a skilled man was leading the knights. Thanks to receiving her support, Kalaian handled the monsters skillfully. Aris, who stayed close…

'...Don't give up, Aristena. You must go.' She clenched her hands and stood up, gritting her teeth. Then she kicked off the ground and started running again. One of her shoes must have come off when she fell earlier, as it was missing. But she paid no attention and kept running. Why she was doing this. Why she was going this far, she still didn't know. Even she couldn't understand her own actions. But this much she seemed to know, that that place was where she needed to be. That that place…

After bidding farewell to the elderly couple who had come out to see her off, Aris turned away. She headed home through the market street. She could still see people trembling with anxiety as they looked at the sky. "Is the world ending? The sky's been like that since yesterday!" "Isn't it just a passing storm? You can't make sense of nature if you try." Aris thought their reactions were understandable. While she had seen such a sight in her past life, they hadn't. "Huh? What's that?" Just…

Having apparently run all the way here, he spoke urgently while catching his breath, "Your Majesty, magic telegraphs announcing an emergency situation have arrived. New cracks have appeared!" "Already? This is unusually fast." "But... but, that's not the problem. The cracks haven't appeared in just one place, but in multiple locations! I hurried to report after confirming that magic telegraphs arrived simultaneously!" Kalaian jumped up from his seat. He couldn't believe it. Cracks appearing…

"You are still a child, aren't you?" Aris laughed playfully while messing up her brother's hair. Aion exclaimed in alarm and swatted her hand away. When they finished their meal after their friendly conversation, Aris went to see her brother off. "It would be nice if you could stay longer..." "It's because you weren't home yesterday. I was planning to stay for a day, but this is how it turned out. Still, it's enough that I got to see your face." "Yes, take care. You can come visit…
