"I should not have said I have to pay the price. I realized my limitations a long time ago, so I've never used my power to fall down ever since, so don't worry too much."

"But..." It was possible that with distance this far he might go beyond his limits without realizing it.

As the light of concern lingered on Aria's face after he had explained it several times, Asher held her hand gently. "In addition, I am a descendant of the blood of the first emperor, who was called a half-god. I've seen the ancient texts that someone, who does not succeed the blood of the royal family that had been passed down through generations but who was taken from the outside will pay a serious price... However, I hope you'll be relieved of your worry because I will not be harmed at all with this much."

She could not refute it any longer when he said that he would be careful.

Come to think of it, he had used his power many times last night. Unlike herself, who once used her power and had to fall asleep all day, Asher was fine.

Of course, being worried was another matter. This was because she realized through this incident that their abilities were not omnipotent and that relying on them could lead to an unexpected mishap.

"... I understand. Instead, I hope you don't overdo it."

Understanding Aria's worries, Asher gently kissed the back of her hand and promised to do so.

"I'll take your words into consideration."

Aria was relieved of her worries, and Asher held the hourglass' box in her hand and said,

"But it's okay today, so we'd better move on. The carriage is uncomfortable. When we get a comfortable carriage, let's get on the wagon and move."

She thought he would not let it go because he was stubborn, but she didn't even feel like blaming him because he added an excuse.

"... I understand. I'll pick up my stuff."

So when she gave up and got the hourglass box back from him, he moved the space as if he had waited. The sudden change in vision was no longer surprising to Aria. As Aria toured a quiet vacant lot outside the village, he handed over a black cape to her that he had prepared.

"For now, wear this cape. You'll have to buy some clothes first and change them."

The clothes that she was wearing only attracted people's attention, and Aria wore the cape and hid her whole body without saying anything. She looked very suspicious. So she went into the clothing store. She bought a simple dress and changed into it right away.

"... I want to hide all your hair as I wish. I think it's better to cover your face, too..."

Asher furrowed his forehead upon the beauty of Aria, which he could not erase even though she had changed into a simple dress. He seemed to want to hide her beauty that was too much.

Aria smiled and asked him to relieve his worries. "Should I tie my hair?"

"No, I don't think that's going to solve it."

"Well, do you want me to wear a hat?"

"No. Even if you do so... we'd rather go to a deserted place."

"A deserted place?"

'Is there a place like that?'

As Aria asked back, wondering, Asher replied with a nod. "Yes, we'd better get accommodation."
