(Y/N)'s POV:

As soon as I left to get the herbs for Zen's brother Izana, I remembered that the herbs that were to heal him weren't plentiful at this time of year. Hmm what should I do? I thought to myself.

I walked over to the greenhouse to find however many herbs there were that I needed. As I entered the greenhouse, an aroma of mint and other herbs wafted over. I walked over and picked passionflower, black cohosh, white willow bark, butterbur and feverfew. Which are the herbs needed for his headache. I got a plentiful amount for all of the herbs except the white willow bark. 

"UGH! The willow bark is the most important part and yet!," I said to myself annoyed.

"Now how am I supposed to help the prince?"

"Oh wait! I can actually just go and see if Zen can help me. Although I don't really think he will know what I'm talking about. I'll just ask him anyway," I said getting up and heading to where I came from.

But as I was walking towards the room, I heard Zen's voice and someone else's that I don't recognize. I walk towards his voice and see him. "Um, excuse me! Zen!" I said.

"(Y/N)?" Zen said turning around.

"Ugh where were you? I was looking all over the place and when I couldn't find you I got worried. Oh and who is this?" I asked turning around to look at Erai.

"Uh um, this is my acquaintance," he said hesitating about my reaction to this. 

"Oh okay," I replied unsure.

"Where is he from?"

"He's from Tanbarun," Zen sighed.

"Wait! Tanbarun?!"

"Yes, yes he is. Why?"

"Oh wait. You're from Tanbarun yourself," he remembered.

"Mhm, although I left because of that annoying and cowardly prince," I said in annoyance.

"So what is your name? Mine is (full name)," I said looking at his eyes.

"Um mine is..." he said unsure of her identity.

"Eh, whatever. I mean  it's not like if I tell you my name that it would make my life even worse than it already is. Anyway nice to meet you, (full name). My name is Erai Miyasa." 

"Um (Y/N)? Do you have the herbs or medicine or whatever that can help treat my brother? Because what you're holding makes me think that you have all the ingredients," Zen stated looking at the basket that I was carrying.

"Hm? Oh well, I have all the ingredients needed but for one of the ingredients, I don't have enough." I said looking down at the ground unhappily.

"Wait your brother? What happened to him?" Erai questioned worriedly although there is no reason for him to be worried.

"Well let's just say that my brother is on the brink of death," Zen said joking but he acted as if it was actually true.

"Wait, WHAT!!" Erai said a little too loud.
