"I forgive you for not recognizing the princess. You should die a hundred times for such an offense, but I'll show you mercy."

The princess of this country, with her fierce gaze, gave me a final warning.

"Do not be rude to me again."

She snorted lightly, looking down on me, then swiftly turned her head and gracefully walked away down the corridor.

Once Marika disappeared from view, the atmosphere, which had turned tense due to the silence, lingered.

It was natural for the mood to be like this, especially when the highest authority of the country, the royalty, had been angered. And if that anger was directed at me, even more so...

"Harold, are you okay?"

But Aris, with her ever-bright disposition, broke the silence and showed concern as soon as Marika was out of sight.

"Yeah... It's my fault, so don't make such a face."

While the unfairness still lingered, I tried to put on a calm face for her, since, in general, I was the one at fault.

To interpret differently, I had disrespected someone without recognizing their status.

Carefully touching my stinging cheek, I tried to soothe the pain.

"You really didn't know... Most people know Marika since she's the first heir."

Was it that bad?

How ignorant have I been to not recognize the next ruler of the country?

"Yeah... Ever heard of a place called Land Roll Village?"

At my question, her face turned into an ambiguous smile, and she hesitated to answer.

"Uh, sorry... I don't know all the geography. It's the first time I've heard of that village."

She lowered her head, admitting her limitations.

Then, I heard murmurs from the other students.

"Land Roll Village... How remote is that place? It's my first time hearing about it."

"I feel the same. Did Aris ever not know something?"

"Did she not recognize the princess because he's from another country?"

They even began to suspect that I was from a foreign land, throwing suspicious glances at me.

No matter how unfamiliar it might be, I'm still a citizen of this country, which was somewhat hurtful.

Suddenly, there was an intense electric sensation in my head.

In an instant, I almost screamed out loud in front of everyone.

What was that sensation? What was that feeling?

My head was dizzy and there was a strange feeling, like trying to remember something forgotten. Although it was hard to describe, the unfamiliar stimulation was also unpleasant.

However, the discomfort soon subsided and the usual calm returned.

What was that feeling from earlier? The words 'forgotten memory' lingered in my mind.

"Harold, you looked distressed just now. What happened?"

Aris noticed my unease and her concern helped fade my worries.

"You looked shocked?"

"It's nothing..."

I reassured Aris and we continued on our way.
