Mila was woken up and dressed up in the wedding dress that the maids had put on her; she could see that they were now finally finishing with her look, which she hoped did not make her look too old. 'Makeup can make a woman look much older than she is supposed to be. This much make-up seems to be overdoing it a bit.' Looking at herself in the mirror made her feel very uncomfortable since she was never fond of such things in her two lives. Thinking about the current situation, she was of no use to them now that they had their fair deal sealed with the Zameth Kingdom. They no longer needed to worry about 'war' for the time being, which Mila hoped would not happen for a long time. 'A needless war will only bring more separation to families. I have a family as well.' Mila did not want her soon-to-be husband to be separated from her and her child once reunited.

Seeing Camila enter her room, Mila looked to see how she was keeping her 'high status' image for being selected as one of Prince Leroy's chosen and favored concubines in his harem. Being informed ahead of the maids that Lady Camila was currently pregnant, Mila did not care for such a title or such a woman who was trying to brag in front of her since she was already going to be with ZH. The man she loved would finally be with her as she was to him. 'I do not understand her motive for trying to make me jealous of her. There is nothing to be jealous about. Nothing between you and me are alike from looks to attitude.'

"You seem very happy to be leaving this place. Are you?" Camila approached Mila, looking at the helpless woman, thinking that she still could not talk back.

Mila just stared at her and then walked along, following the maids who remained quiet in front of her where they would lead her to the carriage that she would take to leave the Mireraweth Kingdom. Camila had to hold back her anger since she was still a concubine and pregnant with Prince Leroy's second child. Knowing fully well that even her title was not enough since Mila still had royal blood in her veins. Camila, on the other hand, was still just a commoner who was once a maid and then favored by the Crown Prince, but she was still below any other and at the same level as the surrounding maids. 'At least she is finally leaving! Wretched woman!' Camila scoffed and went ahead, seeing Mila's leaving ceremony. 'I hope that I do not have to see that woman again! This kingdom will be in the palm of my hands!'

Mila sat down inside the carriage that they had her stay in, hoping that things could hurry up and pass along for the day to end sooner. She wanted to see her daughter as soon as possible, but traveling would take about five days if they were not delayed any longer. Waiting inside the carriage, the doors then opened, and ZH entered the same carriage with a smile. He was well-dressed with his white suit and his lavender grey hair combed back and tied.

"We're finally leaving this place." ZH sat down next to Mila, with everyone outside cheering and celebrating that they had wedded and sealed a deal with the Zameth kingdom. They only thought of their 'happy' days in the Mireraweth Kingdom with hopes of no war, and if one were to occur, then they would depend on the Zameth Kingdom to give them a hand. Mila felt rather annoyed that they were going to use her husband's deal in that way when there was no guarantee. Forgetting about it, she looked once more at ZH, who held an enchanting smile once again, making her feel her face flush hot. "Don't feel embarrassed or shy now. We are now officially married as husband and wife. You can now address me as a husband while I address you as a wife." ZH smiled, taking her hand and kissing the back of it. 'We do not need to address each other like simple friends.' I think about how they used to be friends who were both husband and wife right before each other.

Mila still could not believe how handsome and dashing ZH was in front of her once they had made it out far enough from Mireraweth kingdom. Mila sighed, looking at ZH, and saw how they both had been silent since they wanted to avoid being found out by the few spies that followed them. 'Are these spies really necessary during this time?' Mila felt as though the spies should leave since there was no need to keep an eye on her any longer. Once they had sensed the spies had returned to their master, it was about time for them to talk to each other. "You look handsome, my husband." Mila smiled, looking at him with ZH, feeling his heart thump oddly at her compliment.
