"Ah... okay. But take it easy today since it's your first day, Belle." "Got it. See you later." After sending Belle to the research lab, Aris turned and went to where the orb was stored. It would probably take Belle quite a while to review all those materials. 'I hadn’t heard that voice since that day. Even when I'm near the orb.' Aris pulled up a chair near the orb and began writing down possible hypotheses one by one. Her goal was to minimize the damage from the great war that would…-

07 The long and troubled vacation finally came to an end. Rising early in the morning, Aris washed her face with cold water and rubbed her eyes while looking in the mirror. Fortunately, her eyes, which had been swollen until last night, had subsided considerably. She touched her cheeks and sighed before burying her face in a towel, pressing firmly to dry off the moisture. 'Stop being gloomy, Aristena.' Yesterday, she had considered writing to her sponsor about that bitter incident, but…

While she still felt a wall between them and still harbored ill feelings toward him... it was true that in this life, he was being considerate of Aris. Also, in this life, he had never treated her badly. 'It was proven today. Nothing will change between this person and me.' Therefore, Aris's life wouldn't be destroyed or invaded because of Kalaian. At this rate, there would be no problems. Aris enjoyed the private dinner with Kalaian with a lightened heart, not knowing how their relationship would…

"Your Highness has rejected all marriage proposals for the past five years since that incident. We came to make this plea hoping that perhaps Your Highness might have feelings for our child. It seemed you even personally went to greet her earlier... What are your thoughts, Your Highness?" Bendere and Maylene wore masks of concerned and kind parents looking out for their child. The Emperor, who had been silent, responded to their appeal. The Crown Prince's rejection of all marriage proposals was a…

'How did they even find out today was the banquet? Did they perhaps have someone watching me?' Aris bit her lip at their actions that made her shudder anew. "Lady Eldeiz, what is this about? Did you invite the Marquis couple to this gathering?" "Well..." Aris hastily opened her mouth at Kallus's questioning but couldn't continue rashly. If she said no, it would cause trouble for the Eldeiz couple. Even though they were practically estranged with no contact, Aris didn't want that to happen.…

The next day, as the sun was beginning to set, Aris left the laboratory and stopped a passing servant in the Crown Prince's palace. "Um... I'm here as His Highness the Crown Prince's guest, where should I go?" "Ah, you've arrived, Doctor. Please follow me." Aris followed the servant with evident tension in her heart. Today too, she had come out early in the morning to the laboratory under the pretense of going to work, so the Marquis couple wouldn't be suspicious if she returned after…

Simply seeing her from behind had made him so happy. And missing her so much, he had unconsciously come looking for her again. Even though he knew he should stop troubling her. 'She might have confused her vacation dates, so I'm just here to tell her that.' He knocked on her laboratory door with his usual caution. Kalaian waited for a response. Since she often couldn't hear knocking when she’s deeply concentrating, he knocked again several times after a while. "Miss Aristena, it's me. May I…

Ignoring Aris's protests, Maylene entered the mansion and began directing the servants where to place the luggage this and that as if it were her own home. "Why did you come here?" Once things had settled down somewhat, Aris and the Eldeiz couple sat facing each other at the table. Though Aris wanted to throw them out immediately, she couldn't act rashly for fear they might make a scene about their daughter turning them away at the door. As she glared at them with displeasure, a servant…

When she returned home, Aris collapsed face-down on her bed. Lying there listlessly, she kept thinking about what was to come. It was truly overwhelming. An imperial dinner... Aris spent all day at home looking through research books. But even so, her worries wouldn't disappear, and she spent the remaining time holding her head in her hands. Not going to work made the day too boring. Leaning against the headboard while recording her previous investigation journal, Aris suddenly found herself speaking…

Kalaian, with somewhat careful eyes, uncharacteristically let his words trail off. After a moment, he politely extended his hand to Aris. "If you don't mind, would you like to talk while we walk together?" Faced with this unexpected situation, Aris hesitated for a moment. It seemed she had come at an inconvenient time during his rest period. After much consideration, she gave her answer. "You must have come out to refresh yourself, so I can't interfere. I'll go ahead and wait, so please take…
