In the crown prince reading room. Gulten walks in then put down a document on the table.

"Your highness, is there anything else you want me to do?" Gulten asks.

"No, you may go." Nickolai said.

Gulten bow down his head as he leaves the room.

Nickolai sat back on his chair.

It been two days, she's away. Nickolai upon reading the letter she left for him, knew Dacia deliberately want to stay away from him.

But...she had just broke one of the three rule that he had asked her to follow.

Going out field.

However, he didn't stop her from leaving. He just watched as she leaves.

Because he had another intention.

Since she's going against his rule, he will wait for her arrival.

Once she arrived, he will give out a punishment for her. A very proper punishment.

He smiles in satisfaction, waiting for that day to come.

Irene who had no clue of what coming for her, took a sit on a vacant chair. Others still having fun on that night.

While the soldiers are busy setting up camp.

"Irene! Come on!" Lydia tried to bring her to dance again.

But Irene shakes her head, refused.

Seeing that, Lydia and Marcy continue to dance with others.

Libby quickly sat beside Irene with a cup of water in her hand.

"Here, have some drink, your highness."

"No need, thank you. Have you eaten already?" Irene asks.

Libby shake her head.

"You should go eat. You don't have to worry about me, Libby. Go." Irene ushered her to take some food.

Libby could only obeyed.

Irene watches her leave then see Callus approaches her, hiding something behind him.

"What is it?" Irene asks him.

Callus bring out a wreath.

"For you." Callus said, shyly.

"It's beautiful, Callus." Irene then gesture him to put on her head.

Callus put it on her.

Looking at her with the wreath on her head make him blushed. She looks so ethereal.

"Thank you." Irene smiled at him.

Callus smile as he timidly walk away.

Irene turned to look at her surroundings.

Seeing the people happy and joyful expression, Irene couldn't help but feel content.

When suddenly a bowl of soup, appear in front of her.

It was Ben.

"I thought...that you might want some..." Ben awkwardly said.

"Thank you." Irene didn't want to embarrassed him so she accept the bowl of soup and took a sip of it.

Ben then took a sit beside her.

"He likes you. Callus." Ben stated, abruptly.

Irene who heard that, was surprised.

"But don't worry, he knows his boundaries. He will eventually get over it."

Irene didn't know how to react to that.
