After returning to my room, I quickly fell asleep. It was as if the tossing and turning I had been doing all morning was nothing.

A bright morning.

I called everyone in to tell them about the decision I had made last night.

It felt like they were already anticipating my answer.

What should I do, I've lost the will to do that.

Messi's complexion was brighter than ever, as if he was ready to return.

"I'll just get to the point."

"When do you want to leave, miss?"

"We're staying here, Messiah. We're not going back."

When the expected answer did not come, Messi's smiling face cracked.

He seemed very eager to return south, but unfortunately he was unable to do so yet.

"Why?......You don't want to run into the Artban owner either."

"I used to think so, but I changed my mind. He said he'd come see me, so I should meet him at least once."

"......Miss, it's good that he's still here, but I find that guy very strange. All of his plans have fallen through, and now he keeps trying to contact you even though there's no reason to do so."

Paymon also grimaced and shuddered as if he was embarrassed.

It seemed like there was a common perception about the current situation.

It's weird and creepy.

It was a natural reaction, since the people here still don't know the secret about my pheromones.

After the failed attempt to steal the heir to the family, rather than quietly sinking beneath the surface, he began to reveal himself more and more.

Hestia, who had been silent, opened her mouth softly.

"You'll know why when you meet me."

Reason. That was obvious.

Because if you get me one, the rest will be smooth sailing.

And that's what I was afraid of. Falling into the hands of DL Artban.

"miss."

"Yes, Hestia."

"Can I ask why you changed your mind?"

There were many reasons. But let me tell you the biggest one.

"I think it's because I feel bad when you touch me gently."

"yes?"

"At first, I was scared and afraid."

The moment I found out the secret about myself and realized what the Art Van owner was trying to do with me.

An uncontrollable fear came over me.

"That guy knows everything about me before I was born, and I don't know anything about him. The gap is so huge, it's scary."

"......."

"But he conquered the east and is now coming to the north to meet me... I couldn't sleep properly last night because I was worried that my precious people would get hurt because of me. I'm going to meet him.

I didn't even want to imagine it, so I pretended not to know and ignored it, but that person was continuing to prepare to meet me."

"......I see."
