your stay at the clover kingdom turned out to be much longer than you had initially planned. what was meant to be a short visit quickly extended into several months. what began as a simple quest to explore whether clover had any tools or resources to aid your research evolved into something much richer and more fulfilling.

instead of just observing, you found yourself deeply involved in the lives of its citizens, forming meaningful friendships and genuinely helping those in need. you had always wished to serve your own kingdom with dedication and the right principles, much like the grinberryall's rulers who treated their people with utmost care and respect. how they treated their kingdom's people as delicate flowers, always making sure that it's still alive and is surviving the cold weather.

over the past three months, you and charlotte, the blue rose squad captain, developed a strong bond. what started as a professional relationship grew into a close friendship. you spent a lot of time together, assisting with missions and paperwork, earning each other's respect and trust.

your efforts did not go unnoticed by the other squad captains either. your reputation grew as you continued to collaborate with each of them, showcasing your strategic prowess, intelligence, and your dragon's formidable power. despite your initial indifference to clover, your dedication and abilities left a lasting impression. they began to question why someone of your caliber was choosing to stay and contribute to their kingdom.

the relationships you built and the trust you earned were a testament to how well you had integrated into clover's society. your time there had not only provided you with invaluable experiences but also reaffirmed your commitment to serving others, much like you had always dreamed.

well, that might be because of a certain masked man whose presence sends your heart racing uncontrollably. his flirty comments, even if unintentional, have a way of making your pulse race—sometimes to the point where it feels like your heart might just leap out of your chest.

you and william have spent an incredible amount of time together, given that you live under the same roof. it's impossible to avoid each other, and neither of you would want to. your dragon, frost, often takes the initiative, running to william's room at the end of the hallway and jumping on him. as a jealous mom, you'd scold frost, but william, being the kind and handsome man he is, would just smile and ask if they could hang out, which you couldn't refuse.

you've also joined william on several missions. the first time you accompanied him, you found yourself just watching in awe as his tree roots and branches did all the work. it was impressive—and, to be honest with yourself, quite attractive.

everything about him is attractive.

you found yourself spending most of your free time at william's squad base, helping him with his never-ending paperwork. despite his protests, you were adamant about taking on the task, and his reluctance couldn't deny you. the routine became a strange sort of comfort for both of you, his stubbornness only adding to the charm of your daily interactions.

as you grew closer to william, you also got to know the other squad captains better. charlotte, for instance, struck you as a kind yet notably prideful woman. you were aware of her unspoken affection for a certain dark-magic user, though she seemed too shy to ever confess her feelings. it was almost amusing, imagining how yami, the target of her affection, is absolutely oblivious of it.

ispeaking of yami, he was quite the character. a strong and unique knight, he had a certain density about him, at first, his quirks seemed peculiar, but after hearing charlotte's constant, endearing grumblings about him, you couldn't help but only be sorry for your newfound friend.
